The Prabhas-led horror comedy film 'The Raja Saab' is encountering significant challenges at the box office, with its performance showing a marked decline as it enters its third week. On day 19 of its theatrical run, the movie managed to collect only ₹34 lakh across India, highlighting a substantial slowdown after its initial release period.
Steady Decline in Daily Collections
The film's collections have been consistently decreasing day by day, with no major spikes or recoveries observed in recent performances. Day 19 represents another low point in the movie's box office journey, continuing a trend of diminishing returns that began after the first week.
Overall Box Office Figures
According to data from the Sacnilk website, 'The Raja Saab' has accumulated ₹206.36 crore in worldwide collections to date. Within India, the net collection stands at ₹144.22 crore, while the gross India collection reaches ₹172.11 crore. Overseas markets have contributed ₹34.25 crore to the total earnings.
While these numbers might appear substantial at first glance, industry analysts note they fall short of expectations given the film's scale, star power, and production values. The performance indicates the movie hasn't achieved the commercial success anticipated for a project of this magnitude.

Film Details and Critical Reception
'The Raja Saab' features an ensemble cast including Prabhas, Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar, under the direction of Maruthi.
According to the ETimes review, "Director Maruthi approaches the film as a full-scale theatrical entertainer leaning heavily into color, elaborate production design, and star-centric moments. However, the storytelling frequently prioritizes visual indulgence over narrative progression. The tone swings between playful comedy and spooky fantasy, but the balance proves difficult to sustain, with multiple stretches lingering longer than necessary. While the stylized approach has its moments of appeal, it rarely pushes beyond familiar territory, relying instead on well-worn beats."
