Mumbai: ‘The Raja Saab’ Surpasses Baahubali’s Day 1 Hindi Collection But Faces Unexpected Opening Results
Sylvie 
After the phenomenal success of the Baahubali franchise, Prabhas rose to become one of the biggest superstars in India. His massive fan following eagerly awaits each of his film releases. Recently, Prabhas’s latest movie, ‘The Raja Saab’, made headlines by surpassing the Day 1 Hindi box office collection of Baahubali: The Beginning. This achievement marks a significant milestone, showing the strong appeal and anticipation surrounding Prabhas’s projects.
However, despite this initial success compared to Baahubali, industry insiders point out that ‘The Raja Saab’ is actually Prabhas’s third-lowest opening in his career in terms of Hindi collections. This apparent contradiction arises due to the high expectations set by his previous blockbuster hits as well as market competition and audience reception. While ‘The Raja Saab’ did beat Baahubali’s Day 1 Hindi numbers, other Prabhas films have recorded even higher openings, making this release comparatively modest.
Prabhas’s journey since Baahubali has been a rollercoaster, with some of his films not performing as well as anticipated at the box office. Nonetheless, his star power continues to draw massive crowds to theaters, especially in regions where Hindi films have a huge fan base. The mixed box office performance of ‘The Raja Saab’ reflects the evolving tastes of audiences and the challenges of maintaining blockbuster consistency.
The film’s box office performance also sparks debates among fans and critics regarding:
- Marketing strategies
- Screen count
- Competition from other releases
As Prabhas continues to explore diverse roles and storylines, every film adds to his impressive portfolio, keeping the audience engaged and curious.
