Prabhas' much-anticipated film, 'The Raja Saab', which hit screens on January 9, 2026, has experienced a sharp decline in its box office performance, particularly by its fifth day. The movie collected an estimated India net of just Rs 4.85 crore on Tuesday, January 13, 2026, bringing its cumulative domestic collection to approximately Rs 119.45 crore. This significant dip follows a strong opening day (January 9) which saw the film rake in around Rs 53.75 crore, including paid previews. The horror-comedy, directed by Maruthi, debuted to overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics, who cited a weak script, lack of substance, and an overstretched narrative as major drawbacks. This poor critical reception and negative word-of-mouth quickly impacted its theatrical run, leading to a consistent downward trend in daily collections after the first weekend. By Day 6 (January 14, 2026), early estimates suggest the film earned around Rs 5.25 crore, pushing its total India net collection to approximately Rs 124.65 crore. Despite crossing the Rs 100 crore mark, 'The Raja Saab' is widely being deemed a "massive commercial disaster" given its reported substantial budget of ₹400-450 crore. Industry analysts suggest the film needs to gross over ₹400 crore worldwide to break even, a target that appears increasingly challenging as its collections continue to falter, making it one of Prabhas' biggest post-COVID failures.
