Prabhas' latest blockbuster, 'The Raja Saab', has taken the box office by storm, leaving fans and critics in awe! The film's opening day collection was nothing short of extraordinary, grossing an incredible Rs 53.75 crore, but here's where it gets intriguing... Despite mixed initial reactions, the movie's earnings continued to soar, reaching a total of Rs 108.93 crore in India and Rs 158.5 crore worldwide by its third day. But why is this significant?
'The Raja Saab' is Prabhas' highly anticipated project, and its release on Friday, January 9, 2026, sent fans rushing to theaters. The film's unique blend of horror and comedy seems to have worked its magic, attracting a wide audience. On its first Sunday, the movie raked in Rs 20.03 crore, bringing its total nett collection in India to over Rs 100 crore.
But wait, there's more! The film's success has become a talking point due to its involvement in a box office battle with 'Dhurandhar'. On the same day that 'The Raja Saab' reached its third day, 'Dhurandhar' was on its 38th day, adding Rs 6.15 crore to its already impressive India collection of Rs 805.65 crore nett. This comparison has sparked debates among movie enthusiasts.
Directed by Maruthi, 'The Raja Saab' boasts an impressive cast, including Sanjay Dutt, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar, alongside Prabhas. The film's success has even led to the announcement of a sequel, 'Raja Saab 2: Circus 1935'.
