Mumbai: ‘The Raja Saab’ Surpasses Baahubali’s Day 1 Hindi Collection but Marks Prabhas’s 3rd Lowest Opening!
Sylvie 
Prabhas, after the monumental success of the Baahubali franchise, has cemented his position as one of India’s biggest superstars. However, his new Hindi film ‘The Raja Saab’ has created quite a buzz at the box office with an intriguing performance. Despite the film managing to beat Baahubali: The Beginning‘s Day 1 Hindi collection, it still stands as Prabhas’s third lowest opening in his Hindi film career.
The expectations were sky-high given Prabhas’s previous blockbuster hits. ‘The Raja Saab’ showcases his charismatic screen presence and intense acting prowess, which have always been crowd pullers. The film’s day 1 Hindi collections surpassed the figures of Baahubali: The Beginning, which was a huge achievement considering the latter’s massive success. This indicates a strong interest among the Hindi-speaking audience and reflects the actor’s continued pull in North India.
Yet, when comparing it to all of Prabhas’s Hindi releases, it ranks as the 3rd lowest opening day collection. This contrast highlights that while ‘The Raja Saab’ has had a good start, it hasn’t matched the soaring records set by some of his previous ventures like Saaho or Radhe Shyam. Industry experts speculate that this could be due to a variety of reasons including:
- Competition with other releases
- Audience expectations
- The film’s genre and storyline
Critically, ‘The Raja Saab’ has received a mixed response but fans of Prabhas have been enthusiastically supporting the film. The movie’s marketing and promotional activities created significant hype prior to release, and the first-day collection indicates that audience curiosity translated into box office numbers.
In terms of content, ‘The Raja Saab’ explores a fresh narrative with engaging visuals and music, which adds to Prabhas’s versatile filmography. The actor’s fan base is eagerly waiting to see how the film performs over the weekend and if it can maintain momentum to grow at the box office.
This scenario once again proves the unpredictable nature of cinema and how even the biggest stars sometimes witness varied receptions despite their talent and popularity.
