ETimes verdict
‘The Raja Saab’ stars Prabhas, Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal and Riddhi Kumar. The film is directed by Maruthi.ETimes review for the film reads, “Director Maruthi approaches the film as a full-scale theatrical entertainer leaning heavily into colour, elaborate production design and star-centric moments. However the storytelling frequently prioritises visual indulgence over narrative progression. The tone swings between playful comedy and spooky fantasy but the balance proves difficult to sustain, with multiple stretches lingering longer than necessary. While the stylised approach has its moments of appeal it rarely pushes beyond familiar territory, relying instead on well-worn beats.”DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from diverse public and industry sources.
