Overall box office is far below hopes

The India net collection is Rs 146.01 crore and the India gross is Rs 174.11 crore. The overseas collection reached Rs 34.25 crore. In Telugu, the film also did not hold well.

The drop was steady every day.The Kannada net was Rs 39 lakhs. Day 10, day 9 and day 8 all showed only Rs 1 lakh each.
Fans speak openly about what went wrong
Many people on social media shared what they felt about the film. The talk online was mixed but mostly not good. One person wrote, “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 person also said the direction was the biggest problem. They wrote, “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 viewer shared an even stronger opinion. They wrote, “Worse than Adipurush with terrible VFX and CGI.”This person also explained that they had high hopes. They wrote, “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 even worse than Adipurush. “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 tough phase for the film and the team
The film stars Prabhas, Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal and Riddhi Kumar, and is directed by Maruthi. Even with such a strong cast, the response stayed low.DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers and data in this article are compiled from diverse public and industry sources.
