Prabhas’s ‘Raja Saab’ is facing a significant box office downturn, with collections plummeting after its initial days. Day 5 saw a meager Rs 4.85 crore, bringing the total to Rs 119.45 crore. Low occupancy across languages and overwhelmingly negative audience reviews citing poor storytelling and performances are contributing to the film’s struggle, despite its star-studded cast.

Mixed reviews add to the trouble
‘The Raja Saab’ is getting mixed reviews online, and many are very negative. One viewer wrote, “What an absolute mess that was, man, did they forgot the basics of story writing and filmmaking?” The same review also said, “Prabhas, I must say, looked so fake and artificial, except in or two, he was never in his elements and add to that the horrible face swap, my goodness, Zarina Wahab was superb, Sanjay Dutt as usual, loud but impact-less.”Another comment said, “RAJASAAB directed by Maruti staring Prabhas is became a blunder the first half is very strechy and unnecessary scenes the romantic angle is very forced and characters acting are very midcore.”
Cast, director, and what lies ahead
The film is directed by Maruthi and stars Prabhas in the lead role. Sanjay Dutt, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, Boman Irani, and Riddhi Kumar play key roles. Despite a big cast and high expectations, the film is failing to connect with the audience.DISCLAIMER: The box office numbers in this article are compiled from our proprietary sources and diverse public data.
