Prabhas' much-anticipated film, 'The Raja Saab,' which premiered on January 9, 2026, has reportedly faced a significant setback at the box office on its fourth day, Monday. After a robust opening, including paid previews and a strong first Friday collection of approximately ₹53.75-₹54.4 crore, the film's earnings saw a steep decline over the weekend and particularly on Monday, its fourth day. On Monday, 'The Raja Saab' collected an estimated ₹5.4 crore to ₹6.6 crore net across India, marking a drastic 65% to 71.7% drop from its Sunday figures. This substantial fall has been described as a 'crash' by various media outlets, indicating a struggle to maintain momentum after the initial festive period. By the end of its fourth day, 'The Raja Saab's cumulative domestic net collection stood at around ₹113.4 crore to ₹114.60 crore, with a worldwide gross of approximately ₹170 crore. This performance is notably worse than Prabhas' earlier post-pandemic releases like 'Adipurush' and 'Saaho,' which had much higher fourth-day earnings. Critical reception has also been mixed to negative, potentially contributing to the rapid drop in footfalls. In stark contrast, 'Dhurandhar,' starring Ranveer Singh, which was released on December 5, 2025, continues its stellar run, now in its 40th day. As of January 12, 2026 (Day 39), the film had already amassed a massive worldwide gross of ₹1299.56 crore to ₹1300.41 crore, establishing itself as a major blockbuster. 'Dhurandhar' recorded Day 39 earnings of approximately ₹2.70 crore, demonstrating remarkable sustained collections even after over a month in theaters. The box office scenario thus paints a clear picture: 'Dhurandhar' is a resounding success, while 'The Raja Saab' faces a challenging path ahead for recovery.
