Prabhas’ latest venture, The Raja Saab, kicked off with a bang on its opening day, pulling in strong crowds thanks to the star’s massive fan base and the buzz around this horror-comedy. Released on January 9, 2026, the film raked in an impressive ₹75.22 crore gross in India on day one, setting high expectations. However, the momentum slowed as mixed reviews started pouring in, highlighting issues with the storyline and pacing.
By day three, which was Sunday, the collections had dipped noticeably from the weekend high. The film managed ₹22.84 crore gross in India, reflecting a growing fatigue among audiences. Trade analysts point to competition from other releases like Dhurandhar and lukewarm word-of-mouth as factors pulling down the numbers. Despite this, the overall weekend haul crossed the ₹100 crore net mark, offering some relief to the makers.
On day four, a typical Monday, The Raja Saab faced a steep decline, earning just ₹3.32 crore gross in India. This sharp drop of over 85% from Sunday signals challenges ahead, especially with no major holidays to boost footfalls. Occupancy rates tumbled, and regional variations showed Telugu markets holding up better than Hindi or Tamil belts. If the trend continues, the film might struggle to hit blockbuster status, but Prabhas’ appeal could still drive some recovery in the coming days.

About The Raja Saab and Future Prediction
The Raja Saab marks a fresh turn for Prabhas, who steps into the horror-comedy genre after a string of action-packed epics. Directed by Maruthi, the film blends spooky elements with laughs, centering on Prabhas as a carefree guy entangled in ghostly antics at an old palace. The cast includes Malavika Mohanan as the love interest, Nidhhi Agerwal in a key role, and veterans like Sanjay Dutt and Boman Irani adding depth. Shot across stunning locations, including Greece for a song, the movie boasts Thaman S’s catchy tunes that have been a hit online. Despite the hype, reviews have been mixed, praising Prabhas’ charm and comic timing but criticizing the script for feeling patchy and relying too much on outdated tropes.
The production wrapped up in late 2025 after months of work, including heavy visual effects for the supernatural scenes. Made under People Media Factory with a hefty budget of ₹250 crore, it was released in multiple languages to tap into Prabhas’ pan-India stardom. Early buzz came from teasers showing Prabhas in a stylish, retro look, which got fans excited. However, audience feedback points to uneven execution, with some feeling the horror lacks real scares and the comedy falls flat in places. Still, the film’s grand scale and star power have drawn families and young viewers, especially in Telugu-speaking areas where Prabhas rules the box office.
Looking ahead, The Raja Saab might see a modest rebound mid-week if positive word spreads, but the steep Monday drop suggests it could wrap up around ₹150-200 crore net in India. Overseas markets, particularly the US, have added decent numbers so far, but sustained interest is key. With no big clashes soon, there’s room for legs, but competition from streaming releases could hurt. Analysts predict a break-even if it crosses ₹300 crore worldwide, banking on Prabhas’ loyal fans. A sequel tease in the credits hints at more, but success depends on fixing the narrative issues that tripped this one up. Overall, it’s a reminder that even big stars need solid stories to shine.
