Prabhas’ The Raja Saab, released during Sankranthi, has failed to make an impact at the box office. The film’s Hindi version has performed poorly from day one, and trade circles are shocked to see that Dhurandhar collected more in its sixth week than The Raja Saab managed in its first week.
Prabhas is known as the first South Indian star to build a proper market in Hindi markets, setting huge records with films like Baahubali and Kalki 2898 AD. Except for Radhe Shyam, all his films posted impressive numbers, even competing with Bollywood’s biggest stars.
The Raja Saab: A Major Disappointment in the Hindi Market
Unfortunately, The Raja Saab marks another setback after Radhe Shyam. The film released with low buzz and poor reviews, along with weak word of mouth, meant it never gained momentum.
The numbers highlight the struggle: The Raja Saab collected around ₹20 crore nett in its first week in Hindi, while Dhurandhar managed ₹25 crore nett in its sixth week. This stark comparison shows just how badly The Raja Saab has underperformed.
