The Raja Saab Suffers Heavy Overseas Losses

The Raja Saab Suffers Heavy Overseas Losses

The Raja Saab Overseas business Breakeven is valued at $10M. As Prabhas’s Salaar and Kalki did very huge numbers overseas, the distributors showed big confidence in the film. But the film did not see even reasonable numbers here for the business.

For the first week, the film has collected just around $3.6M overseas gross, and the closing will be in the range of $4M, mostly. It means for its business value, the horror comedy fantasy The Raja Saab has just recovered 40%, resulting in more than double losses overseas.

But one good thing for the distributor is that they did not buy the film on an outright basis. They have bought the film on an advance basis. So, the producer needs to take all the losses and compensate the distributor.

Sankranthi 2026: The Raja Saab Ends Up Least Rated

The Sankranthi 2026 is the biggest one as five films were released this year, and among them, Prabhas’s The Raja Saab has the highest budget and has also done the biggest business, but sadly, the film has become the least rated by audiences among Sankranthi films.

Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu receives unanimous positive WOM and reviews from audiences . Next, Anaganaga Oka Raju and Nari Nari Naduma Murari get decent to positive reviews from critics and WOM as well.

Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi receives a one-time watchable word of mouth and reviews and is the better-rated film among recent Ravi Teja films.

Sankranthi 2026: All Films Except The Raja Saab Get Positive Word of Mouth

The only film that receives completely poor reviews and poor WOM is The Raja Saab, which is why the film is not seeing big numbers despite having a big star and the largest budget. Audiences have seen it as the least favorable option for this Sankranthi.

The Tamil Directors Jinx: Allu Arjun’s Biggest Challenge

The Tamil Directors Jinx: Allu Arjun’s Biggest Challenge

Allu Arjun’s next film, AA22, is directed by Tamil star director Atlee, and the film carries a humongous hype because it comes after Pushpa 2, a massive blockbuster at the box office. Besides this hype, Allu Arjun will also have to negate a persistent sentiment in the Telugu film industry with his next film. 

Somehow, Tamil directors do not fully understand Telugu heroes’ strengths and the audience’s taste and sensibilities when they make films with our stars. This is the main reason why Tamil directors have continuously failed to deliver box office successes.

Tamil Directors: A Concerning Track Record with Telugu Heroes

For stars like Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, and Ram Charan, Tamil directors have delivered huge disasters at the box office. Not only big heroes, even Tier-2 heroes have faced major flops with Tamil directors.

At his peak, Allu Arjun doing back-to-back films with Tamil directors stunned and surprised everyone. Even without waiting for the Atlee film’s result, he has already decided to join Lokesh Kanagaraj’s movie shooting this year itself, while the Atlee film is likely to release next year.

Both Atlee and Lokesh Kanagaraj not only need to satisfy Telugu audiences but also the pan-Indian audience, as Allu Arjun is now a big pan-India star, and it needs to be seen whether he will eliminate the sentiment in the industry. Both films will be released in all languages.

Yellamma: A Pan-Indian Devotional Film

After making a sensational directorial debut with Balagam, comedian-turned-director Venu Yeldandi delivered a blockbuster and earned widespread critical acclaim at the national level. Now, he is all set to return with his second directorial venture, titled Yellamma, and the producers dropped its official glimpse.

The makers have officially announced that celebrated music composer Devi Sri Prasad (DSP) will make his first-ever appearance as a lead actor with Yellamma, as they released the concept glimpse on the occasion of the Sankranthi festival.

DSP Debuts as a Hero in Yellamma; First Glimpse is Intriguing

The glimpse opens on a strikingly poetic note, and it has an intriguing backdrop of a neem leaf spinning in a stormy whirlwind, with two men rushing from opposite directions, one wearing jingling ankle bells and the other in shoes. As the video ends, the heavy rain pours down, symbolizing divine power and rural mysticism.

Venu Yeldandi’s Yellamma will be released Pan-India wide

The neem leaf finally lands behind a shirtless man seated near a pond, a drum tied around his waist. As he turns back, they reveal Devi Sri Prasad as Parshi, a traditional folk percussion artist in a transformative look with long hair and a thick beard is intense.

Interestingly, the story of Yellamma was initially narrated to actors Sani and later Nithiin, but ultimately found its way to DSP, who is fondly known as the “Rock Star” by his fans.

The film is being produced by Shirish under the banner of Sri Venkateswara Creations, with Dil Raju presenting the project. The makers of Yellamma planned it as a pan-Indian release and will hit screens in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, and Malayalam.

The Raja Saab Telugu: 6 Days Box Office Collections

Prabhas’s The Raja Saab continues its poor performance at the theaters, and after the six-day run at the box office, the film’s collections are disappointing. It was expected to be a massive hit but , sadly, it did not live up to expectations.

The Raja Saab 6 Days Collections:

  • Nizam: 27 Cr
  • Ceded: 9.5 Cr
  • UA: 9 Cr
  • East: 7.2 Cr
  • West: 5 Cr
  • Guntur: 4.95 Cr
  • Krishna: 4.65 Cr
  • Nellore: 2.95 Cr
  • AP/TG Total: 70.25 Cr
  • ROI: 7.75 Cr
  • Overseas: 15 Cr
  • Worldwide Total: 93 Cr

With a break-even point of 165 crore , “The Raja Saab’s” six-day box office collections stand at 93 crore share (including GST in Telugu States). Currently, the movie is looking at a maximum possible finish of around 110 crore , as it did not see the expected jump even during the festival days.

Other movies received better word of mouth and reviews than ” The Raja Saab,” which impacted this film in a big way. One good decision by the team was releasing the film on the pre-festival weekend, which helped it secure a large number of screens and a solo release. But after the weekend, the film failed to post strong numbers at the box office.

Jana Nayagan Case: Supreme Court Rejects

While the fans of Vijay and the producers of Jana Nayagan expected that their issues with the Madras High Court would be resolved in the Supreme Court , but the film continues to be affected by the law.

The update for the day is that the Supreme Court has refused to interfere with the interim stay granted by the Division Bench of the Madras High Court for Jana Nayagan, which means the issues for the film remain unresolved.

Jana Nayagan: Verdict Still Pending from the Courts

Now, the producers will have to return to the High Court and argue the writ appeal before the CJ’s Bench on January 20. This is a significant setback for the team, as they, along with fans, anticipated a positive response from the Supreme Court and thought that the movie would release next weekend.

But now, the producers again have to go to the Madras High Court and fight the case. With this, no one knows when the film will finally hit theatres.
