The Prabhas-starrer 'The Raja Saab' is demonstrating formidable strength at the box office, continuing its impressive run into the second day. After a powerful opening, the film's collections have surged, placing it on the cusp of a major financial milestone.
Day 2 Collections and the Road to Rs 100 Crore
According to early estimates from industry trackers, 'The Raja Saab' has amassed an impressive Rs 40 crore (approx.) in India nett on its second day. This follows a stellar opening day where the film collected around Rs 45 crore nett. The two-day domestic total now stands at approximately Rs 85 crore nett.
When considering the worldwide gross collections, which include overseas markets, the film's performance is even more striking. The global earnings have propelled 'The Raja Saab' to the brink of the coveted Rs 100 crore club. Industry insiders confirm the film is set to cross this monumental threshold imminently, solidifying its status as a major commercial success.
Audience Reception and Key Factors
The film's box office trajectory is fueled by a combination of massive star power and positive word-of-mouth. Prabhas, one of Indian cinema's biggest pan-India draws, has once again pulled audiences to theaters in large numbers, particularly in his stronghold markets of Telugu states and other key regions.
Directed by Maruthi, 'The Raja Saab' blends elements of horror, comedy, and romance—a genre mix that appears to be resonating with a wide segment of the audience. The film also stars Malvika Sharma in a leading role, with music composed by Gopi Sundar. The combination of an engaging premise and high production values has contributed to its sustained footfall over the crucial first weekend.
What This Means for Prabhas and Telugu Cinema
The successful opening of 'The Raja Saab' is a significant rebound for Prabhas, reaffirming his box office magnetism following the performance of his previous films. It underscores his ability to open big and sustain audience interest across diverse linguistic markets.
For the Telugu film industry, this success adds to a string of high-performing releases, highlighting the sector's robust health and its capacity to produce content with nationwide appeal. The film's performance is being closely watched as an indicator of market trends for big-budget, star-driven entertainers.
All eyes are now on the film's performance over the remainder of the first week. Sustaining this momentum will be key to determining its final box office standing and long-term profitability. Given the current pace, 'The Raja Saab' is well on its way to becoming one of the major hits of the year.
