The
team
of
Raees
-
which
features
Shahrukh
Khan
as
a
bootlegger
and
has
liquor
prohibition
as
the
backdrop
-
will
ironically
celebrate
the
movie's
success
with
a
party
sans
alcohol
tonight.

"The
entire
team
is
very
happy
with
the
critical
acclaim
and
audience
reaction
to
the
film.
It
has
been
a
perfect
combination.
It
seems
that
all
efforts
have
come
to
fruition."
"Hence,
we
want
to
celebrate
this
occasion
with
everyone
who
has
been
part
of
this
journey."
Raees
has
received
a
promising
response
due
to
the
performances
of
actors,
hard-hitting
dialogues
and
foot-tapping
music.
Even
Shahrukh's
return
to
celluloid
in
an
intense
avatar
is
being
hailed.

also
positive,
with

three
days.

trade
pundits,
an
early
Rs
100-crore
