Strong Hold on Day 2 Across India
Superstar Prabhas continues his box office dominance as The Raja Saab shows solid growth on Day 2. After a powerful opening, the horror-comedy maintained strong footfalls on Saturday, driven mainly by festive weekend crowds.
Early trade estimates suggest that the film earned ₹38–40 crore in India on Day 2, pushing its two-day India total close to the ₹100 crore mark. Night shows recorded higher occupancy, especially in the Telugu states.
Telugu States Lead the Charge
Once again, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana emerged as the biggest contributors. Single screens and multiplexes reported packed houses, fueled by Prabhas’s massive fan following.
In addition, the ticket price hike approved by the Telangana High Court helped boost collections during peak hours. As a result, average ticket values remained higher than usual.
Overseas Markets Show Steady Growth
Meanwhile, The Raja Saab also performed well overseas. The film recorded strong numbers in the USA, Gulf countries, and Australia, where Prabhas enjoys a loyal fan base.
By the end of Day 2, the worldwide gross is estimated to be around ₹85–90 crore, with Sunday expected to push the film past the ₹100 crore global milestone.
Mixed Reviews, Strong Audience Support
Although critics delivered mixed reviews, audience interest remains high. Fans praised Prabhas’s lighter, entertaining avatar and the film’s second half.
Moreover, social media buzz continues to favor the film. Word-of-mouth among fans appears positive, which could help maintain momentum through the weekend.
Weekend Outlook Looks Promising
With Sankranthi holidays boosting footfalls and no major competition at the box office, trade experts predict a strong Sunday. If current trends continue, The Raja Saab could comfortably cross ₹150 crore worldwide by the end of its opening weekend.
For now, the film proves once again that Prabhas’s star power can overpower reviews when it comes to box office numbers.
