The Raja Saab: Prabhas' Film Faces Tough Box Office Battle

Ladies and gentlemen, Prabhas returns in The Raja Saab! But hold on—critics are throwing shade like confetti! With a meager Rs. 9.15 crore from previews, it’s on track for Rs. 35-40 crore on day one. Can it outshine Kalki 2898 AD and Salaar? Not a chance! A horror-comedy that forgot to be funny? Oh, the chaos! Will a sequel save the day? Stay tuned!
Quick rundown
- Prabhas' Raja Saab opens with a decent paid-preview bump but a modest first-day forecast.
- Budget balloons to Rs 400-450 crore, yet critics call the horror-comedy's screenplay shaky.
- Kalki 2898 AD and Salaar posted blockbuster openings, Raja Saab must leap to catch up.
- Sequel tease Raja Saab: Circus 1935 keeps the circus chatter alive.
- Visually stunning but narratively uneven—a big splash with uneven punch.
