The Raja Saab Faces Severe Box Office Decline on Day 21
The much-anticipated film The Raja Saab continues to struggle at the box office, showing minimal movement even after three weeks of release. On its twenty-first day in theaters, the movie managed to collect only Rs 35 lakhs across India, highlighting a significant slowdown in audience interest. This disappointing performance comes despite the film's substantial worldwide collection of Rs 207.15 crore and an India net total of Rs 144.93 crore.
Detailed Breakdown of Box Office Figures
According to data from the Sacnilk website, the film's India gross stands at Rs 172.9 crore, while overseas collections have reached Rs 34.25 crore. However, these cumulative figures mask the troubling reality of diminishing daily returns. The consistent decline in box office numbers suggests that the film has failed to maintain momentum beyond its initial release period.
Telugu Version Shows Most Pronounced Slowdown
As the primary language version, the Telugu release of The Raja Saab clearly demonstrates the film's sluggish performance. On day 21, the Telugu version collected Rs 35 lakhs, barely improving from day 20 and day 19, which both recorded Rs 34 lakhs each. Day 18 saw even lower collections at Rs 27 lakhs. The total collection for the Telugu version now stands at approximately Rs 119 crore, indicating that the film's appeal in its core market has waned considerably.
Hindi and Kannada Versions Remain Negligible
The Hindi version of the film has also failed to attract significant audiences. On both day 20 and day 21, it collected a mere Rs 1 lakh, mirroring its performance on days 18 and 19. Day 17 showed a slightly better figure of Rs 2 lakhs, but the Hindi total remains at a modest Rs 24.22 crore. Similarly, the Kannada version has accumulated only Rs 39 lakhs overall, with days 8, 9, and 10 each bringing in just Rs 1 lakh.
Star-Studded Cast Fails to Rescue the Film
The Raja Saab features an impressive ensemble cast including Prabhas, Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar, under the direction of Maruthi. Despite this formidable lineup, the film has not lived up to pre-release expectations. Many fans express disappointment, noting that the promised blend of fantasy, horror, and comedy fell short of delivering an engaging cinematic experience.
Audience Reactions and Social Media Backlash
Social media platforms are abuzz with critiques from disappointed viewers. One user remarked, "The Raja Saab, directed by Maruthi and starring Prabhas, was meant to be a fantasy horror comedy. What it turns out to be is something far scarier: a complete creative collapse. This film doesn't just disappoint. It tests patience, loyalty, and basic love for cinema." The user further criticized Prabhas' entry scene as "shockingly underwhelming" and poorly executed.
Another viewer commented, "Even though the movie was hyped as a horror comedy, there is not even a single funny moment in this film. The graphics look like a drama juniors set, and the three-minute trailer essentially summarized the entire movie. There is no storyline, no comedy timing, and no situational songs—everything is messed up."
