Prabhas' highly anticipated horror-comedy, 'The Raja Saab,' hit theatres worldwide on January 9, 2026, coinciding with the Sankranthi festival. The film, directed by Maruthi, opened to mixed reviews, with critics often citing a weak script but praising Prabhas' performance. On its opening day, 'The Raja Saab' recorded a strong performance, collecting an estimated ₹53.75 crore India net across all languages, including paid previews. However, the film experienced a significant dip on its second day (Saturday, January 10, 2026), with collections dropping to approximately ₹27.83 crore India net. This marks a substantial decrease of about 48.22% from its Day 1 earnings. Despite this sharp decline, the cumulative India net collection for the film over two days ranges between ₹81.58 crore and ₹90.73 crore, as reported by various industry trackers like Sacnilk and news outlets including Mint and The Times of India. Globally, 'The Raja Saab' achieved a worldwide gross of ₹138.4 crore by the end of its second day. The headline of the original article, stating that the film 'surpasses Rs 65 crore' on Day 2, is misleading. While the cumulative total after two days in India (net) does surpass ₹65 crore, the Day 2 collection *alone* is considerably lower, at roughly ₹27.83 crore. Another related Times of India article provided the accurate Day 2 collection, highlighting the exaggeration in the initial headline. The film's box office performance is predominantly driven by the Telugu market, with occupancy rates for other language versions remaining low.
