Expectations were sky-high when The Raja Saab finally hit theatres. Marking Prabhas’s big release of the year, the horror-comedy arrived after multiple delays and opened to mixed reviews. Still, thanks to Prabhas’ massive fan base, the film secured a thunderous start at the box office.
But as Day 7 numbers roll in, the bigger question is whether The Raja Saab has been able to hold onto that early momentum.
The Raja Saab Box Office Day 7 Update
According to Sacnilk estimates, The Raja Saab earned ₹5.49 crore on Day 7 (Thursday). While the day coincided with the Sankranti holiday, the collections showed only marginal growth over Wednesday’s ₹5.35 crore, raising concerns about the film’s weekday performance.
What’s worrying for trade analysts is that even with a festive boost, the film failed to show a noticeable jump. So far, The Raja Saab has struggled to hit double-digit collections on any single day beyond its opening.
The opening-day figure of ₹53.75 crore remains the film’s highest daily total.
Week 1 Box Office Summary
By the end of its first week, The Raja Saab has collected a total of ₹130.24 crore at the Indian box office.
While the numbers are respectable, especially for a genre like horror-comedy, the sharp weekday drops indicate that word-of-mouth hasn’t fully worked in the film’s favour.
Behind-the-Scenes Update: New Prabhas Scenes Added
Shortly after release, fans noticed that Prabhas’ older look, which featured prominently in promotional material, was missing from the theatrical cut. Addressing the issue, producer TG Vishwa Prasad of People’s Media Factory confirmed that new scenes have now been added to the film.
He revealed that around four minutes of footage featuring Prabhas’ earlier avatar had been delayed due to technical issues and server problems. After completing cleanup and minor corrections, the updated content has now been sent to theatres — a move that could potentially help collections in the coming days.
About the Film and Cast
Directed by Maruthi, The Raja Saab follows the story of a man searching for his missing grandfather, only to uncover unsettling secrets tied to his family’s past.
Alongside Prabhas, the film features an ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar, and Zarina Wahab.
Final Words
At the end of Day 7, The Raja Saab finds itself at a crossroads. While Prabhas’ star power ensured a massive opening, the steady weekday decline suggests the film needs a strong turnaround — possibly aided by the newly added scenes — to sustain its theatrical run.
The coming weekend will be crucial in deciding whether The Raja Saab stabilises at the box office or continues to slide after its first-week run.
