In the prohibition-era landscape of Gujarat, a young man named Raees learns a brutal lesson from his mother: no business is too small, but one should never bow down. This mantra becomes the driving force for Shahrukh Khan's ambitious character, who builds a vast illicit liquor empire from the ground up, charming and intimidating his way to the top. His world is one of calculated risks and loyalties, shared with his wife, played by Mahira Khan, and challenged by the relentless, sharp-witted police officer Majmudar, portrayed by Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Directed by Rahul Dholakia, this gritty crime drama weaves a tense cat-and-mouse game as Raees's power grows, drawing the unwavering attention of the law and forcing him to navigate the dangerous intersection of crime, politics, and his own moral code. The film paints a vivid, atmospheric portrait of a man who rises as a king of his own making, only to find his empire under siege from all sides.
