The Raja Saab Box Office Collection Day 9: The box office journey of The Raja Saab has turned out to be far more challenging than initially expected. Headlined by Prabhas, the fantasy horror-comedy opened with strong pre-release hype and massive expectations, thanks to its scale, genre blend, and reported production budget of around ₹400 crore. However, nine days into its theatrical run, the film is still struggling to make a significant impact at the global box office.
Despite hopes of a solid opening weekend, The Raja Saab failed to sustain momentum after its initial days. Mixed-to-negative word of mouth played a crucial role in slowing down collections, especially when audiences were presented with alternative theatrical options. The buzz fizzled out quickly, affecting both domestic and overseas footfalls.
Overseas Performance Nears a Standstill
International markets, where Prabhas traditionally commands a loyal fanbase, have also not delivered the expected numbers. After nine days, the film has collected an estimated ₹33.25 crore gross overseas. Trade reports suggest that the overseas run is nearing its end, with the ₹50 crore milestone now clearly out of reach. Markets like North America, usually considered safe zones for Prabhas films, showed only limited traction this time.
Domestic Box Office: Slow Growth Continues
On the home front, The Raja Saab added just ₹3 crore net on Day 9, despite the weekend advantage. This takes the total India net collection to ₹136.75 crore, which converts to approximately ₹161.36 crore gross. The film was widely expected to cross the ₹200 crore worldwide mark within its first weekend, but that benchmark remains unmet even after more than a week in cinemas.
As of Day 9, the film’s worldwide gross stands at ₹194.61 crore, leaving it just over ₹5 crore short of the ₹200 crore club. However, with declining occupancy and minimal growth trends, even reaching that milestone appears to be a slow and uncertain process.

| Category | Collection (₹ Crore) |

| India Net | 136.75 |
| India Gross | 161.36 |
| Overseas Gross | 33.25 |
| Worldwide Gross | 194.61 |
Given its massive budget and high expectations, The Raja Saab is currently being viewed as a major box office disappointment. Unless there is a sudden turnaround, the Prabhas starrer is likely to conclude its theatrical run well below its breakeven target, making it one of the most underwhelming performers in his filmography in recent years.
