The Raja Saab Day 3 Box Office: Early Estimates Show Slight Recovery

Prabhas’ latest venture, The Raja Saab, kicked off with a bang on its opening day, pulling in solid crowds thanks to the Sankranthi festivities. The horror-comedy, directed by Maruthi, saw fans flocking to theaters, leading to a strong start at the box office. Early reports pegged the Day 1 collection in India at around ₹53.75 crore net, setting a decent tone despite mixed reviews on the storyline.

However, Day 2 brought a noticeable dip, with collections dropping to ₹27.83 crore net in India. This decline, around 48%, was attributed to weekday-like attendance on Saturday, possibly due to competition from other releases and varying audience feedback. Some regions held steady, but overall, the momentum slowed, raising questions about the film’s staying power over the weekend.

On Day 3, early estimates suggest a mild rebound, with the film likely earning about ₹30 crore net in India. Sunday crowds appear to have picked up, especially in Telugu-speaking areas, helping push the total past the ₹110 crore mark domestically. If this trend holds, it could signal better word-of-mouth kicking in, though the film still needs to maintain pace to recover its hefty budget.

About The Raja Saab and Future Prediction

The Raja Saab stars Prabhas in a dual role, blending horror elements with comedy in a story about a man inheriting a haunted palace. Directed by Maruthi, the film features Malavika Mohanan and Nidhhi Agerwal in key roles, with music by Thaman adding to the eerie yet fun vibe. Released during Sankranthi, it aimed to capitalize on the holiday season, drawing families and Prabhas fans alike to theaters across India and overseas markets like the US and Australia.

While the opening was promising, especially in Telugu states where Prabhas has a massive following, the mixed reviews have highlighted strengths like Prabhas’ charismatic performance and visual effects, but critiqued the predictable plot. Overseas, the film has done reasonably well, crossing $350K in the US on Day 1 alone, but needs sustained interest to hit breakeven. Domestically, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana contributed the bulk, with Karnataka showing decent traction too.

Looking ahead, the film’s future depends on weekday performance starting Monday. If positive word-of-mouth spreads, it could aim for ₹300-400 crore worldwide, recovering its ₹400 crore budget comfortably. However, with competition from other Sankranthi releases, a drop below 20% daily might be key. Analysts predict a total run of ₹500 crore if it holds steady, making it another hit for Prabhas post-Kalki 2898 AD.
