Hyderabad: The recently released film The Raja Saab, starring Prabhas in the lead role and directed by Maruthi, hit the big screens on January 9 2026, after many delays. Despite a strong opening at the box office, the second day collections of the film dropped amid mixed audience response. The film nearly faced a drop of 50% in earnings compared to the opening day collection.

Prabhas’s star power may have ensured a great opening for The Raja Saab, but early signs suggest that the film may not be able to hold well in the coming days.

Mixed Reviews Affect Word Of Mouth

A section of viewers praised director Maruthi, the film’s visuals, and Prabhas’s screen presence. However, not all reactions were positive. A section of the audience expressed disappointment, particularly with the pacing. A user wrote, “#TheRajaSaab Second Half review: Too stretched and the theme doesn’t even stick to horror or hypnosis, and in the end it becomes good over evil. No proper justification for the antagonist’s acts; it felt like a more comfortable screenplay than an objective-driven one. Overall verdict: 2.75/5.”
