The RajaSaab Box Office Day 3: Prabhas' Film Enters 100Cr Club In Opening Weekend Despite Mixed Response

The RajaSaab Box Office Collection Day 3: The RajaSaab, headlined by Prabhas, is now playing in cinemas and has already sparked debate. The fantasy horror comedy opened on 9 January in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, Kannada and Malayalam, drawing mixed first reactions as viewers highlight both entertaining stretches and weaker portions. Many audience members note that Prabhas appears very different here from the 2024 sci‑fi spectacle Kalki 2898 AD. The RajaSaab places the star in a playful, eccentric zone, leaning on humour while also mixing in supernatural elements and emotional scenes shaped around family ties.

The RajaSaab also assembles Boman Irani, Riddhi Kumar and Zarina Wahab in key supporting parts. Malavika Mohanan makes a first appearance in Telugu cinema with this project, which increases interest in southern markets. The multi-language rollout and star-filled line-up keep curiosity high despite differing reviews. At the centre of The RajaSaab is Raja, played by Prabhas, who stays with grandmother Gangamma, portrayed by Zarina Wahab. Gangamma lives with Alzheimer's and remembers almost nothing clearly. One person remains sharp in Gangamma's mind, long-absent husband Kanakaraju, whose shadow hangs over the family's present. Released amid massive buzz, The RajaSaab has opened to a mixed response from the audience

Interestingly, The RajaSaab, saw a steady hold at the box office and minted Rs 17.44cr today (day 3/ first Sunday) until 7:30 PM. As a result, The RajaSaab has entered the coveted Rs 100cr club as the total collection of the movie stands at Rs 106.34cr after evening shows. In fact, The RajaSaab has managed to cross the lifetime collection of Prabhas' Radhe Shyam which was around Rs 104cr. It will be interesting to see if The RajaSaab will be able to cross Rs 110cr during the opening weekend.

Meanwhile, Prabhas, who has collaborated with Sanjay Dutt for the first time, is all praises for the Khalnayak actor and stated during a pre-release, "Sanjay sir... just your screen presence is more than enough. When they put a close-up on you, you completely consume the screen...When I watched his scenes during dubbing, I started forgetting my own scenes".
