The Raja Saab Box Office Performance Dwindles to Just Rs 1 Lakh on Day 26
The Prabhas-starrer film The Raja Saab has now completed 26 days in theaters, but its box office numbers have nearly vanished. On its twenty-sixth day, the film managed to collect only Rs 1 lakh, signaling what many online commentators describe as the end of its theatrical run. Industry observers note that from this point forward, the movie is unlikely to show any significant financial returns.
Overall Box Office Figures Fall Far Below Expectations
Despite launching with a substantial budget and high anticipation, The Raja Saab has delivered disappointing final numbers. According to data from the Sacnilk website, the film's worldwide collection stands at Rs 208.36 crore. Breaking this down further, the India net collection is Rs 146.01 crore, while the India gross reaches Rs 174.11 crore. Overseas markets contributed Rs 34.25 crore to the total.
In its primary Telugu market, the film failed to maintain strong performance. The Telugu net box office total settled at Rs 120.08 crore. The decline over recent days has been particularly stark:
- Day 26: Rs 1 lakh
- Day 25: Rs 25 lakhs
- Day 24: Rs 30 lakhs
- Day 23: Rs 27 lakhs
This represents a steady daily drop in revenue. In the Kannada version, the net collection was merely Rs 39 lakhs, with days 8, 9, and 10 each recording only Rs 1 lakh.
Fans Voice Criticism Over Film's Shortcomings
Social media platforms have become a forum for audiences to openly discuss what went wrong with The Raja Saab. The online conversation has been mixed but predominantly negative. One viewer elaborated, "While the cast delivers commendable performances, they are unfortunately trapped on a sinking ship. The film suffers from a profound lack of vision, feeling less like a cohesive story and more like a cluttered 'greatest hits' collection of concepts the creators liked but couldn't integrate."
The same individual pointed to direction as the core issue, stating, "The direction is the primary culprit; without a clear 'map,' the narrative wanders into a series of confusing scenes exacerbated by jarring, amateurish editing. To make matters worse, the visual effects feel dated and 'basic,' failing to provide the spectacle the genre demands."
Another fan expressed even stronger disapproval, writing, "Worse than Adipurush with terrible VFX and CGI." This person shared their initial high hopes, noting, "Like many other fans I eagerly waited for the release of The Raja Saab with so many expectations. I personally didn't enjoy Kalki 2898 AD, therefore Salaar was the last movie of Prabhas that I heartfully enjoyed."
They added that The Raja Saab felt inferior to Adipurush, remarking, "I thought Adipurush would be the worst movie of Prabhas like nightmare, but ironically The Raja Saab overtook it with pathetic storyline, terrible direction and awful editing. Performance wise, the entire casts did exactly what they were directed, hence no complaint on it."
A Challenging Period for the Film and Its Team
Directed by Maruthi, The Raja Saab features a prominent cast including Prabhas, Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar. Despite this star power, audience response has remained consistently low throughout its theatrical run.
