The Raja Saab Box Office Collection Day 11: Prabhas’ Horror-Comedy Loses Steam, Crosses Rs 140 Crore Mark in India Amid Declining Trend

The Raja Saab Box Office Collection Day 11: Prabhas, the reigning superstar of Indian cinema, brought his signature charm to the big screen with The Raja Saab, a fantasy horror-comedy directed by Maruthi. Packed with spooky thrills, hilarious moments, and a star-studded cast including Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, Sanjay Dutt, and Boman Irani, the film hit theaters on January 9, 2026, riding high on Sankranti holiday excitement. While it delivered a blockbuster opening weekend, the momentum has faded noticeably in the second week, leaving fans and trade experts wondering about its final tally.

On Day 11 (Monday, January 19), The Raja Saab collected an estimated Rs 1.15 crore net in India across all languages. This modest addition pushed its cumulative India net collection to around Rs 140.50 crore. The figure marks a significant milestone, but the sharp drop from earlier days signals challenges in sustaining audience interest. Telugu versions continue to dominate (contributing over 80% of earnings), while Hindi and other regional dubs lag behind with limited appeal.

The film opened explosively on Day 1 with Rs 53.75 crore net, thanks to massive advance bookings and festive fervor. It quickly crossed the Rs 100 crore barrier domestically and performed well overseas, adding roughly Rs 33 crore gross in the initial phase. However, mixed reviews citing pacing issues, a muddled screenplay, and predictable twists have hurt word-of-mouth. Critics gave it average scores (around 1.5–2/5), praising Prabhas’ energy but noting the story’s lack of cohesion.

As the second week unfolds, daily collections have dipped below Rs 2 crore on most days, reflecting reduced theater occupancy and competition from other releases. With a reported budget of approximately Rs 200 crore (plus promotions), the movie needs strong legs or non-theatrical deals to turn profitable. Worldwide gross is estimated near Rs 200 crore, but reaching higher targets like Rs 250 crore now seems tough without a surprise revival.

Despite the slowdown, The Raja Saab remains a fan favorite for Prabhas’ larger-than-life performance and visual spectacles. Memes from ghostly scenes and the teaser-like ending (hinting at a sequel: RajaSaab 2: Circus 1935) keep social media buzzing. Could positive fan buzz spark a late surge? Only time will tell.

For now, the film stands as a reminder of Prabhas’ enduring draw, even if the horror-comedy blend didn’t fully click. What’s your take on The Raja Saab‘s run? Drop your thoughts below!
