After several postponements, the film ‘The Raja Saab’ finally hit the screens with huge expectations, mostly because of its scale and budget, which is estimated to be ₹400 crore. However, the film, starring Prabhas and directed by Maruthi, has been struggling to gain momentum.
Despite the broad multi-language release, the movie could not translate the curiosity into consistent footfalls. Although the opening day figures looked encouraging on paper, the collections tumbled soon after, leaving doubts about its long-term box office viability.
According to the latest information provided by Sacnilk, ‘The Raja Saab’ experienced a very low collection on the second Friday.
Note: The box office figures have been taken from Sacnilk’s live data. These are early estimates and are subject to change as final numbers are updated hourly.
As per the report by Sacnilk, here is how ‘The Raja Saab’ performed in its first week in all languages:
The Telugu version is still the biggest contributor, followed by the Hindi belt, while the Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam versions have contributed only marginal numbers.

With a production cost of ₹400 crores, ‘The Raja Saab’ is still very far from even recovering half of the amount. The ₹150 crores mark itself seems to be a challenge at this point in time, with some major releases expected in the coming weeks.
Apart from Prabhas, ‘The Raja Saab’ also stars Sanjay Dutt, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, Boman Irani, and Riddhi Kumar. As everyone is now waiting for the second weekend, it will be interesting to see if the positive word of mouth helps the film to experience a noticeable turnaround or if it will continue to struggle with its massive budget.
