Sylvie 
After the massive success of the Baahubali franchise, Prabhas became one of the biggest superstars in India. His films have always grabbed attention and created huge buzz in Bollywood and beyond. Recently, his latest release ‘The Raja Saab’ has made an interesting mark at the box office. In a surprising turn, ‘The Raja Saab’ has surpassed the Day 1 Hindi collection of ‘Baahubali: The Beginning’, showcasing a strong fan following for Prabhas in the Hindi-speaking market.
However, despite this achievement, ‘The Raja Saab’ also records as Prabhas’s third-lowest opening in Hindi. This unexpected contrast reveals the mixed reaction towards the film, highlighting the challenges even big stars face in sustaining consistent high openings. Industry experts believe this could be due to:
- Varying audience preferences
- Competition from other releases during the same period
The film’s collections, though beating the iconic Baahubali’s Day 1 Hindi numbers, fell short compared to Prabhas’s other blockbusters. Fans and critics are still debating:
- The storyline
- Performances
- Direction
which might have influenced the opening figures. Nevertheless, the movie’s performance proves that Prabhas still enjoys a significant pull, especially in the Hindi market, despite fluctuations.
With ‘The Raja Saab’, Bollywood witnesses an intriguing box office journey for a leading superstar. It remains to be seen how the film fares over the coming days and whether it will gain momentum or settle with moderate success.
