Prabhas’ ‘The Raja Saab’ Makes History at the Box Office!

Prabhas is back on the big screen, and his latest movie, The Raja Saab, is already breaking records. Even though the movie received mixed reviews from critics, the superstar’s massive fan following helped it secure a huge opening.

Key Highlights from Day 1:

• A Historic Opening: The Raja Saab earned ₹97.72 crore gross worldwide on its first day.
• Beating ‘Stree 2’: The film has officially become the biggest opener ever for an Indian horror-comedy, beating the previous record held by Stree 2 (which opened at ₹84.06 crore).
• Prabhas’ Winning Streak: This is the 6th time a Prabhas movie has come close to or crossed the ₹100 crore mark on its opening day, joining hits like Kalki 2898 AD and Salaar.
• India vs. Overseas: The movie performed best in the Telugu-speaking states, earning over ₹74 crore in India, while overseas markets contributed another ₹23.5 crore.

Why it Matters

While the film just missed the “100 crore club” on its first day, it’s still a massive success. It proves that Prabhas is one of the biggest box office draws in India today. Despite a slow start for horror-comedies in the past, The Raja Saab has set a new benchmark for the genre.
