The Raja Saab 3-day box office collection: Prabhas starrer crosses Rs 200 crore mark

The Raja Saab has concluded the first weekend with a decent collection of Rs 200 crore at the worldwide box office, but the movie has failed to beat any of the records of Prabhas' previous releases.

The Raja Saab is one of the most highly anticipated films, and its promos had soared up the expectations and curiosity to sky-high. The distributors made extensive plans for its release to cash in on its hype and craze, which helped it register decent advance booking for its opening day.

The Prabhas starrer opened to a decent response, with many cinema halls registering 100 percent occupancy on Friday. The Raja Saab collected over Rs 100 crore gross at the worldwide box office on the first day. Its collection was nowhere near the opening day business of Adipurush, Kalki AD and Salaar.

The Raja Saab received mixed reviews, mostly negative, and the word of mouth took a toll on its collection on Saturday and Sunday. The movie witnessed over a 50 percent drop on these days and collected around Rs 100 crore gross at the worldwide box office.

The Raja Saab has been made with a whopping budget of Rs 500 crore. Its distribution rights were sold for a record price of Rs 200 crore. The movie is estimated to have earned Rs 100 crore. The film has recovered 50 percent of the cost of its theatrical rights.

The Raja Saab is a fantasy horror comedy film written and directed by Maruthi and produced by People Media Factory and IVY Entertainment. The film stars Prabhas, alongside Sanjay Dutt, Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar, and Zarina Wahab.

The film is about a man searching for his missing grandfather. He finds himself in a mansion inhabited by a sinister presence. The film received negative reviews from critics and audiences. They criticized its weak script, lacking substance, and called it an overstretched narrative, without soul and logic, but praised the performance of Prabhas.
