The Raja Saab Day 3 Box Office: Prabhas Film Earns ₹158 Crore, Surpasses Akhanda 2 Lifetime Collection

The Raja Saab Day 3 Worldwide Box Office: Prabhas’ Film Crosses ₹158 Crore, Beats Akhanda 2 Lifetime

Prabhas’ The Raja Saab has had a mixed journey at the box office after a strong opening, but the horror-comedy continues to hit key milestones. The film has crossed ₹150 crore worldwide in its opening weekend, and trade analysts predict it could surpass ₹200 crore by Sankranti.

Box Office Update

Despite recording the weakest opening for any Prabhas film post-pandemic, The Raja Saab earned ₹100 crore worldwide on its opening day, Friday. Saturday saw a slump overseas and a 51% drop in India, followed by a further 20% dip on Sunday in domestic collections.

By the end of Sunday, the film had collected:

• ₹109 crore net (₹130 crore gross) in India

• Over $3 million in the overseas market, boosted by a strong US opening

This brings the three-day global total to ₹158 crore gross.

Surpassing Akhanda 2

The ₹158-crore haul allows The Raja Saab to surpass several recent Telugu releases. Balakrishna’s Akhanda 2, which earned over ₹128 crore, and Mirai, which grossed around ₹150 crore, have already been outpaced. Analysts expect Monday to see a drop, following the usual weekday trend, but the Sankranti holiday on Wednesday could give the film a boost.

About The Raja Saab

Directed by Maruthi, The Raja Saab marks Prabhas’ return to the family entertainer genre after over a decade. Post-Baahubali, his films focused mainly on mass-action formats, making this a nostalgic comeback for fans who call it “vintage Prabhas.”

The film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, Riddhi Kumar, Boman Irani, and Zarina Wahab. Despite largely negative reviews from critics, the film’s star power and holiday timing have kept it ticking at the box office.
