Prabhas’ latest release struggles to sustain momentum as collections plummet to minimal levels on third weekend
The Raja Saab Box Office Collection Day 16: The much-anticipated Prabhas starrer The Raja Saab is witnessing a dramatic downfall at the ticket windows, with Day 16 collections nosediving to a mere ₹24 lakhs across India. Despite opening with phenomenal numbers during the Sankranti festival season, the film has failed to convert its star power into sustained box office success.
Disappointing Third Weekend Performance
After 16 days in theaters, The Raja Saab has entered what appears to be the final phase of its theatrical run. The film, which once boasted of crossing the ₹100 crore worldwide mark on opening day, is now struggling to attract audiences in its third week. Mixed-to-negative audience reactions have severely impacted the film’s staying power at the box office.

Regional Performance Analysis

Verdict and Future Prospects
Trade experts have labeled The Raja Saab as a commercial disappointment when measured against its estimated budget of ₹350 crores. Theater occupancy has collapsed to 10-15% across major circuits, with multiplexes rapidly reallocating screens to newer releases like Border 2 and Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu.
The film’s theatrical journey appears to be approaching its conclusion, marking another setback in Prabhas’ post-Baahubali career trajectory.
