Prabhas' The Raja Saab Faces Box Office Hurdles
Pan-India star Prabhas made a notable return to Telugu cinema with his latest film, The Raja Saab. The movie showcases Prabhas in what many fans call his vintage avatar. Director Maruthi helmed this multi-starrer project, which hit theaters on January 9. Initial reactions were promising, but the film now struggles to reach the ₹150 crore milestone at the box office.
Strong Start Followed by Decline
The Raja Saab opened to a robust performance on its first day. It crossed the ₹100 crore mark worldwide despite receiving mixed reviews from critics. This early success highlighted Prabhas' enduring appeal among audiences. However, the film's momentum did not last. Collections began to drop steadily in the following days, signaling a challenging run ahead.
Day 10 Brings New Low in Earnings
According to the latest data from industry trackers, The Raja Saab earned only ₹2.50 crore net domestically on its tenth day. This figure represents the film's lowest single-day collection since its release. The dip in earnings underscores the ongoing difficulties the movie faces in maintaining audience interest.
Several factors may contribute to this decline. Mixed reviews likely played a role, as did competition from other releases. The film's performance highlights the unpredictable nature of box office trends, even for big stars like Prabhas.
Fans and analysts are now watching closely to see if The Raja Saab can recover in the coming weeks. The movie's journey reflects broader challenges in the Telugu film industry, where high expectations often meet tough market realities.
