Sylvie 
After the phenomenal success of the Baahubali franchise, Prabhas has established himself as one of India’s biggest superstars. The anticipation for each of his films is immense, with fans eagerly awaiting every new release. Recently, ‘The Raja Saab’ created buzz by surpassing the Hindi Day 1 collection of Baahubali: The Beginning, which was an unexpected achievement given Baahubali’s massive popularity and scale.
This accomplishment highlights the growing acceptance and reach of Prabhas’s films beyond traditional markets, especially in the Hindi-speaking regions. However, despite this encouraging Hindi box office start, industry insiders note that ‘The Raja Saab’ recorded Prabhas’s third lowest opening overall when considering all languages combined.
Here is a brief summary of the situation:
- Hindi Day 1 Collection: Surpassed Baahubali: The Beginning
- Overall Opening: Third lowest in Prabhas’s career
- Post-Baahubali Career: Mix of blockbuster hits and underwhelming performances
This mixed response reflects the evolving dynamics of the Indian film audience and underscores the challenges that even major stars face in consistently meeting high expectations. The journey of ‘The Raja Saab’ will be closely monitored by box office analysts to see if it can sustain its momentum and convert its surprising Day 1 Hindi success into a long-term hit.
Factors to watch for the film’s continued success include:
- Prabhas’s enduring stardom and fan base
- The film’s content and appeal across different languages
- Audience word of mouth and critical reception
