Mahira Khan's Raees was the most talked about Bolly film on Twitter India in 2017
There's hardly any doubt that Raees made a number of headlines this year, and now it's official.
Twitter India's annual ranking list rated the Shah Rukh, Mahira Khan starrer as the most talked about Hindi film in 2017 based on the hashtag volume.
Raees created quite a ripple in Pakistan and India. The film, which revolves around a bootlegger, first caused furor across the border for featuring a Pakistani artist. In Pakistan, Raees was later banned because "the content undermines Islam, and a specific religious sect, [while also] portraying Muslims as criminals, wanted persons and terrorists."
In second place was Salman Khan's Tiger Zinda Hai followed by his war drama Tubelight which flopped at the box office.
Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh's controversial period drama Padmavati is at number four on the list, followed by Kaabil, Jab Harry Met Sejal, Toilet Ek Prem Katha, Golmaal Again, Judwaa 2 and Jagga Jasoos.
