Hyderabad, February 5 - Pan India superstar Prabhas' romantic horror comedy The Raja Saab is all set to make its digital debut on February 6 on JioHotstar. The Maruthi-directed entertainer will be available to stream in Telugu along with Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada versions, while the Hindi version will stream after 8 weeks of theatrical release. Just ahead of the digital premiere, JioHotstar has made a big announcement that The Raja Saab will have an extended cut, which will be bigger than the theatrical print. The movie is originally 3 hours and 3 minutes long, but the latest announcement by the streamer has confirmed new footage for its digital version. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While the streamer confirmed that audiences will get to watch an expanded version with additional footage, the platform has not yet revealed the exact runtime of the extended cut. The move appears to be aimed at offering a more detailed narrative experience, possibly restoring scenes that were trimmed for cinemas. Directed by Maruthi, The Raja Saab features Prabhas in a rare romantic-comedy avatar blended with supernatural elements. Despite good pre-release hype and the star's massive fanbase, the film failed to perform at the box office, ending its theatrical journey on a disappointing note. Mixed word of mouth and its lengthy runtime were cited as key reasons behind its underwhelming reception. Stay tuned...

The Raja Saab OTT Release: When and Where To Watch Prabhas' Romantic Horror-Comedy

Hyderabad, January 30 - Superstar Prabhas' romantic horror-comedy The Raja Saab is gearing up for its digital premiere following a disappointing theatrical run. The film will start streaming on JioHotstar from February 6, allowing audiences to catch the entertainer online after its underwhelming box-office performance. As per the latest update, The Raja Saab will be available in Telugu, Kannada, Tamil, and Malayalam from February 6. However, the Hindi version will arrive later, due to pre-existing terms. The Hindi-dubbed version is expected to premiere on OTT only after completing eight weeks of its theatrical run. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Directed by Maruthi, the film showcased Prabhas in a rare romantic-comedy-horror avatar, generating curiosity ahead of release. Despite the pre-release buzz and the star's pan-India appeal, the film failed to sustain momentum at the box office. The Raja Saab managed to collect only a little over 200 crore worldwide, a figure considered poor by Prabhas' standards, given the film's scale and expectations. The movie needed to score almost double what it actually grossed and ended up as a disaster at the box office. Stay tuned...

Following a disappointing theatrical run that began on January 9, 2026, Prabhas' latest film, The Raja Saab, is now preparing for its digital debut. Directed by Maruthi, the horror-comedy attempted to showcase a vintage side of the Rebel Star, but the film failed to resonate with the larger audience, leading to a quick exit from most major screens. Where to Stream The Raja Saab on OTT? Reports indicate that due to the film's poor theatrical performance, the makers are sticking to a standard 4-week window. The Raja Saab is expected to stream on OTT starting February 6, 2026. Where to stream The Raja Saab? The digital streaming rights for the film were sold to JioHotstar. The platform is expected to premiere the film in its original Telugu version along with dubbed versions in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. While the official announcement is awaited, the February 6 date is widely reported as the definitive streaming start for the film. What is the story of The Raja Saab? The film is a horror-comedy centered around a grand, ancestral mansion known as the Raja Saab palace. The plot follows a young man (Prabhas) who travels to the estate to uncover his family's legacy and claim his inheritance. However, he soon discovers that the mansion is haunted by spirits tied to dark secrets from the past. The narrative focuses on his attempts to survive the supernatural occurrences while balancing comedic encounters with the ghostly inhabitants of the palace. Despite the presence of a pan-India superstar like Prabhas, The Raja Saab struggled to recover its massive production and distribution costs. While it managed to cross the ₹200 crore mark globally, the high theatrical rights value has resulted in a Flop verdict. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   The Raja Saab: Lifetime Box Office Collection CATEGORY COLLECTION (INR) India Net Collection ₹ 144.93 Cr India Gross Collection ₹ 172.90 Cr Overseas Collection ₹ 34.25 Cr Worldwide Total ₹ 207.15 Cr Verdict Flop The Raja Saab: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Is The Raja Saab a hit or a flop?

The reported OTT release date is February 6, 2026, exactly four weeks after its theatrical debut. The shift to OTT is seen as a way for the makers to recoup some of the financial losses through digital licensing.

The Raja Saab Box Office: Prabhas-Starrer Crawls To 200 Crore Worldwide In 10 Days

Hyderabad, January 19 - It has been a tough week for Pan India superstar Prabhas-fronted The Raja Saab. The romantic horror comedy was expected to ignite the box office during the Sankranthi festive period, and it gave positive signs early on, but what followed was very disappointing. Directed by Maruthi, The Raja Saab took the opening of 100 crores worldwide, and at that time, it looked like it would be dominating the box office until poor audience reception came to bite it. After the big opening, the collection dropped drastically as the week progressed. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) There was a little hope that The Raja Saab might get something during the holidays, which didn't happen. While the film has managed to crawl past 200 crores worldwide in 10 days, the overall performance has been poor, with no signs of rebound. With the holiday period over, it will be really tough for Raja Saab to retain screens, especially given that other Sankranthi releases are performing very well in Telugu states. In 10 days so far, the film has grossed approximately 166.50 crores in India and 33.50 crores at the overseas box office. Considaring its daily trend, it would have been almost impossible for the film to even reach 200 crores gross had there been no holiday advantage. Because of the Sankranthi holidays, it has managed to cross Radhe Shyam and will end up as the second-lowest-grossing film for Prabhas since he scored a breakout Pan India success with Baahubali (2015).

Raja Saab Opening Week: Prabhas's Film Collects ₹130 Crore+ in its Opening Week But Faces a Steep Climb After Significant Weekday Drops

Prabhas's much-anticipated horror-comedy, Raja Saab, directed by Maruthi, arrived in theatres with massive expectations. The film kicked off its box office journey with impressive numbers, capitalizing on the star power of Prabhas. However, after a powerful opening day, the film witnessed significant drops through the weekdays, indicating that the road to profitability will be a challenging one. With a hefty budget and mixed word-of-mouth, the film needs sustained momentum to achieve a hit status. The film's performance in its first week showcases a front-loaded trend, typical for a major star vehicle. It began with a strong ₹ 53.75 Cr on its first Friday, but saw a sharp decline on Saturday and Sunday, followed by a steep fall on the weekdays. The first week closed with an India Net collection of ₹ 130.25 Cr, with early estimates for the second Friday suggesting a collection around ₹ 3.50 Cr. The Telugu version has been the primary contributor, accounting for over 80% of the total revenue. Raja Saab Box Office Collection | Day Wise Day India Net Collection Day 0 [Thursday] ₹ 9.15 Cr Day 1 [1st Friday] ₹ 53.75 Cr Day 2 [1st Saturday] ₹ 26 Cr Day 3 [1st Sunday] ₹ 19.1 Cr Day 4 [1st Monday] ₹ 6.6 Cr Day 5 [1st Tuesday] ₹ 4.8 Cr Day 6 [1st Wednesday] ₹ 5.35 Cr Day 7 [1st Thursday] ₹ 5.5 Cr Week 1 Collection ₹ 130.25 Cr Day 8 [1st Friday] ₹ 3.50 Cr * early estimates Total ₹ 133.75 Cr (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({})   With a massive budget of ₹ 400 crore, the collections so far, while substantial, point towards a challenging path to profitability. The mixed word of mouth appears to be the primary factor for the lack of strong holds on weekdays. For a film of this scale, consistent momentum is crucial to achieve the breakeven point and emerge as a commercial success. It's a steep climb from here, and the performance in the second and third weeks will be the ultimate deciding factor for its final verdict. The journey is made tougher by stiff competition from other Tollywood releases that have opened to positive reviews and are outperforming expectations. Films like Mana Shankaravaraprasad Garu, Nari Nari Naduma Murari,Bhartha Mahasayulaku Wignyapthi and Anaganaga Oka Raju have garnered strong word-of-mouth, providing compelling alternatives for the audience. This has resulted in a division of screens and footfalls, making it more difficult for Raja Saab to maintain its initial dominance. It remains to be seen if the film can overcome these challenges and find its footing in the coming weeks against such well-received competitors. As of its first eight days in theaters, Raja Saab has achieved a worldwide gross collection of ₹ 188.75 crore. This figure includes ₹ 155.55 crore from its gross earnings within India and an additional ₹ 33.2 crore from overseas markets. The total India net collection for the film currently stands at ₹ 133.75 crore. The final box office verdict is yet to be determined, pending its performance in the crucial upcoming weeks.

The Raja Saab Box Office: The Struggle Is Real For Prabhas-Starrer

Hyderabad, January 13 - Can you imagine that a film, which opened to 100+ crores gross, would be struggling to even make double of it? Well, it is happening with Prabhas-fronted The Raja Saab, which is in free-fall mode after the big start. And this is not just about this movie only; most of the top Telugu stars' films lose their way if they fail to excite the audience. The Raja Saab, directed by Maruthi, had the opening of 100+ crores gross, but it soon became a thing of the past as daily collection dropped below the 10 crores mark on its 4th day itself. Had it been any other language film, the collection would have been doubled up by now, which is not the case with Telugu films. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) After opening to 100+ crores, The Raja Saab dropped by over 50% on Friday, and another over 26% on Saturday to close the opening weekend at around 160 crores worldwide. The weekend trend itself suggested that the film would struggle to sustain, and the Monday collection proved that with over 65% drop as it collected just around 8.50 crore. With 4 days of collection standing around 169+ crores, The Raja Saab is struggling to reach the 200 crores mark, which is not a milestone anymore for top stars. The Sankranthi holidays may still take it past the double century, but that won't be enough, as it needs way more than that to justify the big budget and star power. The Raja Saab needs to gross over 400 crores worldwide to break-even and emerge as a box office hit. However, given the current trend, the film is likely to finish with a little over half of its target. The film will end up as Prabhas' second-lowest-grossing title since the COVID-19 pandemic, only ahead of Radhe Shyam. Stay tuned...

The Raja Saab (Hindi) Box Office: Prabhas-Starrer Drops On Day 2 As Weak Trend Continues

Mumbai, January 11 - Superstar Prabhas' romantic horror comedy The Raja Saab dropped on its second day at the Hindi box office, which is not a good sign. After the underwhelming opening day of 6 crore net, the movie needed a big jump to cover the lost ground, but instead, it went down to collect around 5 crore net. The total collection of the film is around 11 crores net (13+ crores gross) after 2 days. It would have been a good collection for most of the South Indian actors, but not for Prabhas, who has proved his mettle at the Hindi box office in the past with multiple big grossers since Baahubali days. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Ideally, The Raja Saab should have scored more than 20 crores net to justify the starpower, but the lack of promotion and poor word of mouth have reduced it to half of it after 2 days. As said, there is an audience for the genre, but the issue is that the makers didn't even try to create awareness among the Hindi audiences, and completely relied on the stardom of Prabhas. The Sankranthi holiday period might help the movie to bring in some numbers, but considering the weak trend, it is going to be hard for the film to sustain the collection. Prabhas has consistently delivered 100 crores grossers in Hindi, but The Raja Saab is unlikely to get there unless some miracle happens. Meanwhile, the Maruthi directorial also had a big drop at the worldwide box office on the second day. After opening to 100+ crores gross, the film plummeted by 65% to score around 35 crores gross worldwide, pushing total worldwide cume to 135 crores. The overall trend remains weak, not just in Hindi but in other languages, and this is not good for the film's box office prospects. Stay tuned...

The Raja Saab Box Office: Prabhas Scripts History as the Only Indian Actor with Six ₹100 Crore Worldwide Openers Amidst Mixed Reviews

Rebel Star Prabhas has once again demonstrated his unparalleled box office pull as his latest release, The Raja Saab, officially crossed the ₹100 crore mark at the worldwide box office on its opening day. With this achievement, Prabhas has become the first and only Indian actor to have six films that have debuted with over ₹100 crore globally, a feat that remains unmatched in the history of Indian cinema. Despite the massive numbers, the film's reception has been polarized, relying heavily on the lead actor's stardom rather than critical acclaim. The horror-comedy, directed by Maruthi, collected approximately ₹100.90 crore worldwide on Day 1. While the Telugu states contributed the lion's share of this total, the overseas markets also showed strong performance. This opening places The Raja Saab alongside Prabhas' previous heavyweights like Baahubali 2: The Conclusion, Kalki 2898 AD, Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire, Saaho, and Adipurush. However, unlike the Baahubali series or Kalki 2898 AD, the initial momentum for The Raja Saab is being met with significant resistance from critics and audiences alike. The early word of mouth for the film is largely mixed to negative. Reports from several centers suggest a poor response regarding the film's execution. Critics have pointed out that the screenplay suffers from a very slow pace, particularly in the first half, making it a tedious watch for general audiences. Furthermore, a common grievance among viewers is the lack of logic in the horror elements and the narrative transitions. While Prabhas' screen presence and comic timing are being appreciated by fans, the overall consensus suggests that the writing fails to match the scale of the production. As the film enters its crucial first weekend, the focus shifts to whether it can sustain its momentum. With the mixed talk spreading, the upcoming weekdays will be a major test for the film's longevity. Currently, the movie is riding on the high of the Prabhas brand, but for it to reach a Hit or Blockbuster status, it will need to overcome the hurdle of poor critical reviews.
