The Raja Saab worldwide box office collection day 7: Prabhas’ The Raja Saab is on course to become one of the biggest box office bombs in modern cinema. The ambitious horror comedy is struggling to reach the ₹200-crore mark at the global box office, failing to hit the milestone in its first week.

The Raja Saab worldwide box office collection day 7: Prabhas stars in the lead role in this Maruthi film.

The Raja Saab box office update

The Raja Saab earned ₹100 crore worldwide on its opening day, Friday, hinting at a positive start in the pre-Pongal/Sankranti weekend. However, after that, the film crashed and burned, registering steep daily dips in collections. After failing the Monday test, The Raja Saab failed to revive during the Sankranti holidays. On Thursday, it earned just ₹5.65 crore net in India. This takes its domestic earnings after one week in the theatres to ₹130.40 crore net ( ₹156.50 crore gross) in India. In the overseas market, courtesy of a strong opening day in the US, the Maruthi directorial has earned around $4 million. This takes the film’s one-week global haul to ₹191 crore gross.

The Raja Saab’s perilous road

Despite earning ₹100 crore on its opening day, The Raja Saab has been unable to hit ₹200 crore in the six days since. It is unlikely to reach that number on Friday either. What makes it worrying is the film's high budget. The Maruthi directorial is reported to have been made on a massive ₹350-crore budget, meaning it is still very much in the red. The Raja Saab is faring worse than some of Prabhas’ other big flops. Both Adipurush and Saaho had earned over ₹300 crore worldwide in their respective first weeks. The Raja Saab is languishing over ₹110 crore behind them.

About The Raja Saab

Directed by Maruthi, The Raja Saab had generated curiosity for its lead actor’s return to the family entertainer genre after over a decade. All of Prabhas’ films after the Baahubali series were mass actioners. Fans say The Raja Saab is a return of the ‘vintage Prabhas’. The film also stars Sanjay Dutt, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, Riddhi Kumar, Boman Irani, and Zarina Wahab. However, after opening to largely negative reviews from critics, The Raja Saab fizzled out at the box office.
