The Raja Saab (Hindi) Box Office: Prabhas' Horror-Comedy Goes Down Again On Day 3

Mumbai, January 12 - The romantic horror comedy The Raja Saab is heading towards a rare failure for Pan India superstar Prabhas at the Hindi box office after the film dropped further on day 3. There seems to be no way for the movie to rebound, given the mixed to negative word of mouth and strong competition from the holdovers. The Raja Saab had an underwhelming opening with approximately 6 crore net. This was only the second film of Prabhas to score below 10 crore net opening day in Hindi since the Covid pandemic. The movie needed big growth on Saturday and Sunday to cover the lost ground, but things got even worse as it dropped further. The first Pan India biggie of the year scored around 5 crore net on Saturday, followed by around 4.65 crores on Sunday, for the cumulative opening weekend of 15.75 crores net, which is disappointing for a movie featuring Prabhas. Ideally, it should have scored at least 30+ crores net opening weekend, but all it could manage was only half of it, due to poor planning and word of mouth. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Raja Saab will struggle to touch even 50 crores net, and it will most likely fall below this mark. It will be the second-lowest-grossing film for Prabhas in Hindi since he scored breakout success with his first Pan India blockbuster, Baahubali (2015). The lowest Hindi grosser for the actor is Radhe Shyam, which minted just over 20 crore net in 2022. Not only in Hindi, but The Raja Saab is also struggling in the overall scenario. After taking the opening of 100 crore net, the film has dropped heavily over the weekend to score just around 60 crores gross in the next 2 days. The Sankranthi holiday period is expected to bring some footfalls, but once this period is over, it will be a real struggle for the movie to sustain. Stay tuned...

The Raja Saab vs Dhurandhar Box Office: Why Prabhas' New Release is Struggling to Beat a Month-Old Movie in Hindi

The box office is currently witnessing a rare phenomenon where a month-old veteran is outperforming a star-studded new release in a key market. Prabhas' latest outing, The Raja Saab, arrived with massive pan-India expectations but is finding the going tough in the Hindi belt. Meanwhile, Ranveer Singh's spy thriller Dhurandhar, which entered its sixth week, continues to show remarkable resilience. The most striking takeaway from the current box office reports is the Hindi net collection. On its third day (Sunday), The Raja Saab managed to collect approximately ₹4.65 Cr in the Hindi market. In a sharp contrast, Dhurandhar—on its 37th day—earned an estimated ₹5.75 Cr. It is highly unusual for a new film led by a Pan-India superstar to be outpaced in its first weekend by a movie that has been in theaters for over five weeks. The Raja Saab's Hindi journey started with ₹6 Cr on Day 1, followed by ₹5.1 Cr on Day 2, and the decline to ₹4.65 Cr on Day 3 sis particularly concerning, as the film missed out on the standard Sunday surge usually seen at the box office. While the Hindi numbers tell a story of struggle, the overall India Net and Worldwide figures for The Raja Saab remain respectable, largely due to Prabhas' iron grip on the Telugu market. In its first three days, the movie has clocked: India Net Collection: ₹108.00 Cr India Gross Collection: ₹129.20 Cr Worldwide Collection: ₹161.00 Cr Overseas Collection: ₹31.80 Cr These figures are a testament to Prabhas' massive fanbase, which ensured a strong opening despite the hurdles. However, for a film reportedly mounted on a budget of ₹300–400 Cr, these numbers need significant sustainability, which is currently under threat. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The primary reason for The Raja Saab's struggle in the Hindi belt appears to be the poor word of mouth.Unlike Prabhas' recent hits like Kalki 2898 AD or Salaar, which offered high-octane action or grand sci-fi, The Raja Saab is a horror-comedy that many critics have labeled as too regional or outdated. Audience feedback has been critical of the concept lack, uneven VFX, and a screenplay that fails to grip the viewer.Many North Indian viewers, who were expecting an event film, found the horror elements lacking logic and the comedy failing to land. On the other side of the spectrum, Dhurandhar has set a benchmark for consistency.Released only in the Hindi language, the film achieved the rare feat of maintaining double-digit daily collections for 28 consecutive days. Even with the arrival of a major competitor, Dhurandhar saw a 69% jump in its sixth Saturday, proving that solid word-of-mouth can sustain a film long after the initial hype fades. While The Raja Saab is fighting a battle of damage control in the North, Dhurandhar is comfortably sitting on a domestic net of over ₹805 Cr, making it the most successful solo Hindi release in recent history. The comparison highlights a clear divide: while stardom can guarantee a ₹100 Cr opening weekend, longevity is driven by content.The Raja Saab remains afloat on the strength of the Telugu states, but its inability to surpass a 37-day-old Dhurandhar in the Hindi belt serves as a reality check for the film's pan-India appeal.

The Raja Saab : Prabhas Starrer Secures the 10th Spot in Tollywood's Elite ₹100 Crore Global Openers Club

Prabhas's latest release, The Raja Saab, has officially entered the list of Telugu films achieving a ₹100 crore+ worldwide gross on Day 1. This marks the sixth time a film headlined by Prabhas has reached this milestone, a record for any Indian actor. According to current data, the film ranks 10th among the highest-opening Telugu films of all time, joining the ranks of major releases such as Pushpa 2 and RRR. Leading the pack of these elite openers is Allu Arjun’s Pushpa 2: The Rule, which remains an untouchable phenomenon. The film scripted history by grossing ₹ 275.20 crore worldwide on its opening day, the highest ever for an Indian film. Beyond its opening, Pushpa 2 became an all-time blockbuster, crossing the ₹1000 crore mark in a record 7 days. Its Hindi version alone rewrote the record books, surpassing Baahubali 2 to become the highest-grossing Hindi film ever. Following closely is S.S. Rajamouli’s global sensation RRR, which opened to ₹223 crore worldwide. Beyond its ₹1,200+ crore lifetime gross, the film achieved significant cultural impact, culminating in an Academy Award for the song Naatu Naatu. Prabhas's own filmography dominates the remainder of this high-achiever list. Baahubali 2: The Conclusion remains the ultimate benchmark for Indian cinema, having opened to ₹217 crore and becoming the first film to cross ₹1,000 crore in net collections within India. His more recent outings, Kalki 2898 AD and Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, also posted historic opening day figures of ₹177 crore and ₹158 crore respectively. While Kalki drew praise for its futuristic vision and ₹1042 crore lifetime gross, Salaar was lauded for its raw action and strong performance in mass circuits, particularly in the Telugu states. The list also features high-octane releases from other Telugu titans. OG (They Call Him OG), starring Pawan Kalyan, delivered a staggering ₹144 crore worldwide opening, proving the actor's immense drawing power despite a limited promotional window. Jr NTR's Devara: Part 1 also made a significant mark with a ₹142 crore global start, performing exceptionally well in international markets like Japan. Even films that faced critical hurdles, such as Adipurush and Saaho, showcased the sheer pull of a Telugu star on Day 1, with both crossing the ₹100 crore gross mark globally before their trajectories were affected by mixed word-of-mouth.

While its final lifetime standing remains to be seen, the film has already succeeded in its primary mission: proving that when it comes to massive theatrical openings, the Prabhas Brand remains one of the most reliable forces in the global film market.

The Raja Saab (Hindi) Box Office: Prabhas-Starrer Drops On Day 2 As Weak Trend Continues

Mumbai, January 11 - Superstar Prabhas' romantic horror comedy The Raja Saab dropped on its second day at the Hindi box office, which is not a good sign. After the underwhelming opening day of 6 crore net, the movie needed a big jump to cover the lost ground, but instead, it went down to collect around 5 crore net. The total collection of the film is around 11 crores net (13+ crores gross) after 2 days. It would have been a good collection for most of the South Indian actors, but not for Prabhas, who has proved his mettle at the Hindi box office in the past with multiple big grossers since Baahubali days. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ideally, The Raja Saab should have scored more than 20 crores net to justify the starpower, but the lack of promotion and poor word of mouth have reduced it to half of it after 2 days. As said, there is an audience for the genre, but the issue is that the makers didn't even try to create awareness among the Hindi audiences, and completely relied on the stardom of Prabhas. The Sankranthi holiday period might help the movie to bring in some numbers, but considering the weak trend, it is going to be hard for the film to sustain the collection. Prabhas has consistently delivered 100 crores grossers in Hindi, but The Raja Saab is unlikely to get there unless some miracle happens. Meanwhile, the Maruthi directorial also had a big drop at the worldwide box office on the second day. After opening to 100+ crores gross, the film plummeted by 65% to score around 35 crores gross worldwide, pushing total worldwide cume to 135 crores. The overall trend remains weak, not just in Hindi but in other languages, and this is not good for the film's box office prospects. Stay tuned...

The Raja Saab Box Office Day 2: Prabhas's Stardom Drives Solid Momentum on Day 2 as Early Estimates Signal Global Success

Prabhas latest outing, The Raja Saab, directed by Maruthi, has continued its steady run at the box office, successfully crossing the coveted ₹100 crore mark globally within just two days of its release.Following a massive opening on Friday, January 9, 2026, the film maintained its momentum on Day 2 (Saturday), though it experienced a standard drop following the initial premiere craze. After a solid performance on Saturday, the film's total India Net collection now stands at ₹89 crore. This cumulative total includes the ₹26 crore earned on Day 2, combined with the massive ₹53.75 crore from Day 1 and the ₹9.15 crore from the premieres. The Telugu version remains the primary driver, contributing ₹21.50 crore on Saturday alone, bringing its total Telugu net to ₹76.75 crore. The Hindi market also showed a decent hold, contributing ₹5 crore on Day 2 for a two-day total of ₹11 crore. On the global front, The Raja Saab has already amassed a Worldwide Gross of ₹135 crore. This includes a strong overseas performance which has contributed approximately ₹28.50 crore to the total gross. With these numbers, the film has officially become the first Indian film of 2026 to join the 100-crore club and marks Prabhas's sixth film to achieve a ₹100 crore+ opening worldwide, a historic feat in Indian cinema. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The word-of-mouth for the film remains highly polarized.While fans are celebrating Prabhas's vintage energy, his comedic timing, and his dual-shaded performance, critics have raised concerns regarding the film's slow pacing in the first half and the quality of the VFX.Reports suggest that in response to audience feedback, director Maruthi has already begun implementing minor trims and adding a few old look scenes of Prabhas to enhance the theatrical experience. Despite the divided reviews, The film has set a new record as the highest worldwide gross opener in the horror-comedy genre for Indian cinema, surpassing previous blockbusters like Stree 2. As the film enters the crucial Sunday and the upcoming festive Sankranthi week, its ability to sustain these numbers will depend heavily on family audiences and repeat walk-ins. Currently, the Rebel Star's unmatched stardom continues to pull massive crowds, especially across the Telugu states and major metropolitan centers.

The Raja Saab Box Office (Hindi): Prabhas-Starrer Opens Above Baahubali and Radhe Shyam, But Stays Well Below Double-Digit Mark

Mumbai, January 10 - Superstar Prabhas-fronted The Raja Saab has underperformed at the Hindi box office, staying well below the double-digit mark. This makes it the first film of the actor since Radhe Shyam (2022), and only the second since Baahubali (2015), to not have a double-digit start in the dubbed version. Directed by Maruthi, the romantic horror comedy scored approximately 6 crore net on its first day in Hindi, beating Radhe Shyam's 4.80 crores net start. The opening of The Raja Saab is very much in line with the trade projections, but on the face value, it is an underwhelming start given the way Prabhas' films have performed in the past. Prabhas is easily the most popular South Indian actor when it comes to the Hindi market, as his films have consistently performed well since Baahubali. However, the continued release delay and the lack of promotion eventually came to bite the film's box office prospects, even though it opened better than most of the dubbed South Indian films. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) A decade ago, Baahubali took the opening of 5+ crore net in Hindi with much lower ticket prices and higher taxes, so in that sense, the opening of The Raja Saab is poor as it has barely managed to cross the actor's first Pan India blockbuster. The horror comedy has its audience, but again, the makers didn't promote it well to cash in the opportunity. Meanwhile, at the worldwide box office, the film managed to take the opening of 100 crores gross, driven by good performance in the Telugu states. It is the first 100 crores Indian grosser of 2026, and the 6th film of Prabhas to score a 100 crore opening, making him the only Indian actor to achieve the feat. Stay tuned...

The Raja Saab Box Office: Prabhas Scripts History as the Only Indian Actor with Six ₹100 Crore Worldwide Openers Amidst Mixed Reviews

Rebel Star Prabhas has once again demonstrated his unparalleled box office pull as his latest release, The Raja Saab, officially crossed the ₹100 crore mark at the worldwide box office on its opening day. With this achievement, Prabhas has become the first and only Indian actor to have six films that have debuted with over ₹100 crore globally, a feat that remains unmatched in the history of Indian cinema. Despite the massive numbers, the film's reception has been polarized, relying heavily on the lead actor's stardom rather than critical acclaim. The horror-comedy, directed by Maruthi, collected approximately ₹100.90 crore worldwide on Day 1. While the Telugu states contributed the lion's share of this total, the overseas markets also showed strong performance. This opening places The Raja Saab alongside Prabhas' previous heavyweights like Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, Kalki 2898 AD, Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, Saaho, and Adipurush. However, unlike the Baahubali series or Kalki 2898 AD, the initial momentum for The Raja Saab is being met with significant resistance from critics and audiences alike. The early word of mouth for the film is largely mixed to negative. Reports from several centers suggest a poor response regarding the film's execution. Critics have pointed out that the screenplay suffers from a very slow pace, particularly in the first half, making it a tedious watch for general audiences. Furthermore, a common grievance among viewers is the lack of logic in the horror elements and the narrative transitions. While Prabhas' screen presence and comic timing are being appreciated by fans, the overall consensus suggests that the writing fails to match the scale of the production. As the film enters its crucial first weekend, the focus shifts to whether it can sustain its momentum. With the mixed talk spreading, the upcoming weekdays will be a major test for the film's longevity. Currently, the movie is riding on the high of the Prabhas brand, but for it to reach a Hit or Blockbuster status, it will need to overcome the hurdle of poor critical reviews.

Hyderabad, January 9 - Pan-India superstar Prabhas has once again muscled his star power with his latest romantic horror comedy The Raja Saab, which has taken an excellent opening of nearly 100 crores gross at the worldwide box office, despite mixed to negative reviews and word of mouth. Directed by Maruthi, The Raja Saab has clocked an estimated 75 gross in India, depending on the offline shows. The domestic start is once again led by the Telugu states, where the movie has grossed over 55 crores, including the premiere collection of over 8 crores. At the Overseas box office, the film is looking to collect in the 25-30 crores range, for the worldwide opening day gross of 100+ crores. With this, it has become the first 100 crores Indian grosser of 2026, and the 6th film of Prabhas to do so. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The Raja Saab had collected over 50 crores gross in its worldwide pre-sales for the opening day. The numbers could have been higher had the bookings been opened much earlier in India. Still, the advance sales were solid, despite falling short of Prabhas' recent films, such as Kalki 2898 AD and Salaar. As said, the opening of The Raja Saab was purely possible due to the stardom of Prabhas, especially since the initial word of mouth was not looking good after the poor critics' reviews. The advances for tomorrow are decent, given the reception, which indicates a decent hold. It needs to be seen how the movie fares over the Sankranthi festive weekend, which is crucial. Stay tuned...

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The achievement becomes even more remarkable as Telangana remains excluded due to ticket pricing and regulatory issues.

The Raja Saab Advance Booking: National Chains Yet To Open Bookings In Hindi Amid Dhurandhar 2 and Toxic Show-Sharing Issue

Hyderabad, January 8 - One of the biggest box office clashes of the year, Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar 2 and Yash-fronted Toxic have already started intensifying, with over two months still left for their release, which is on March 19. And the victim of this clash is Pan-India superstar Prabhas-fronted The Raja Saab. The romantic horror-comedy, directed by Maruthi, is scheduled to hit the big screens tomorrow, January 9, but the full-fledged advance booking in Hindi, especially in national chains, is yet open. As of now, only the single-screen cinemas and independent and smaller chains have begun booking for The Raja Saab. Anil Thadani-backed AA Films is distributing The Raja Saab in Hindi, and according to the report by Bollywood Hungama, the distributors are asking the national chains to give considerable shows to Toxic, which will be distributed by the same distribution house. Only then will these cinemas get to play the Prabhas-starrer. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The report further stated that the theatre chains haven't agreed to the demand as Toxic clashes with Dhurandhar 2 on March 19. The theatres have earned a huge amount of moolah because of Dhurandhar's first part, which is still running in cinemas. It's a given that Dhurandhar 2 will have an earth-shattering opening. The theatre chains are also aware of the fact that Toxic is also a big film and is expected to do very well in Hindi. But they don't want to make any deal at this point for the film, and especially do not want to short-change Dhurandhar 2. This is where the matter regarding the Raja Saab booking has been stuck. Meanwhile, The Raja Saab has paid premieres today, January 8, from 9:00 pm onwards, and the bookings for the same are robust in Andhra Pradesh, while Telangana pre-sales will start after the government order regarding the ticket price hikes. The film's worldwide pre-sales for the opening day have crossed 30 crores and are headed to finish around 40 crores before the premiere shows start. Stay tuned...

Prabhas' Box Office Juggernaut: Comparing Advance Bookings of the Rebel Star's Last 5 Blockbusters

Prabhas has consistently led high-budget films that command significant attention from the trade, even when commercial results have been mixed. Following the Baahubali franchise, his subsequent projects have often opened to large numbers despite failing to meet long-term recovery targets for distributors. For instance, the 2019 film Saaho grossed over ₹424 crore worldwide but was declared an average performer overall because its earnings did not reach the high threshold required for a hit verdict. Similarly, Radhe Shyam in 2022 saw a worldwide gross of approximately ₹214 crore, which was insufficient to cover its production costs, resulting in a significant theatrical loss. The momentum reached new heights with Adipurush, which, despite controversy, witnessed a thunderous domestic opening of ₹86.75 crore net on its first day, bolstered by an advance booking gross of ₹26.39 crore. This trend of massive pre-sales peaked with the 2024 sci-fi epic Kalki 2898 AD. Made on a staggering budget of ₹600 crore, Kalki became a global phenomenon, grossing over ₹1,000 crore worldwide and recording a massive ₹61.8 crore in Day 1 advance bookings with block seats. These figures cement Prabhas as a unique force capable of drawing audiences in record numbers across diverse languages and formats.

However, this figure is not directly comparable to his previous outings because bookings in the crucial Telangana market—his primary stronghold—opened significantly late due to legal deliberations regarding ticket price hikes. In contrast, the international response has been explosive; the film has already amassed approximately $1.7 million (₹15.3 crore) in overseas pre-sales. Notably, it has crossed the $1 million mark in North America alone, marking the third consecutive film for Prabhas to achieve this milestone in that region. The prospects for The Raja Saab have received an additional, massive boost following the sudden postponement of Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan. This shift in the Sankranti release calendar has allowed exhibitors to redirect hundreds of extra shows and prime screens to Prabhas's film, particularly in overseas markets like the UK and Malaysia. While domestic pre-sales are currently catching up following the regional booking delays, the steady international demand and the reduced competition suggest that The Raja Saab is set for a solid start at the box office this festive season.

The Raja Saab Advance Booking (Overseas): Prabhas-Starrer Picks Up Momentum Ahead of Premieres

Hyderabad, January 8 - Pan India superstar Prabhas' much-anticipated film The Raja Saab is showing encouraging signs at the overseas box office as advance bookings gain momentum just ahead of its grand premiere. After a slow start, the film has witnessed a noticeable spike in ticket sales across key international markets, signalling growing audience interest as the release date draws closer. According to the latest update, The Raja Saab has crossed the $1.70+ million mark and should close in at $2 million in overseas bookings for its opening day and premiere shows. The surge has been driven largely by good last-minute traction in North America, where pre-sales have crossed $1 million. The USA and Canada together account for a major chunk of the pre-sales, with premieres alone contributing a substantial share of the total. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Apart from North America, the pre-sales have also started moving well in markets such as the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the Gulf. The film's genre, a blend of horror and comedy, appears to be striking a chord with the diaspora audience, especially as promotional content and on-ground buzz intensify ahead of release. The postponement of Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan, which scored excellent pre-sales before dropping out, is proving to be beneficial for The Raja Saab, as more prime shows are now being allotted to it, especially in North America. The upward trend suggests that the film could see a strong walk-up response if early word of mouth turns positive. Directed by Maruthi as a mass entertainer with a horror twist, The Raja Saab is set to hit screens worldwide with premiere shows beginning on January 8, followed by a full-fledged theatrical release on January 9, 2026. With bookings picking up pace at the right time, all eyes are now on how the film performs once audiences step into theatres. Stay tuned...
