The Raja Saab earned ₹63.3 crore in India and crossed ₹100 crore worldwide on opening day despite mixed reviews, driven by Prabhas’s star power and advance bookings.

  • Prabhas' star power and the film's first‑time horror billing fuelled pre-release interest, with advance bookings around 5.62 lakh tickets generating Rs 28.09 crore, Sacnilk reported.
  • In Telugu markets, occupancy data shows Telugu shows recorded 57.16% across 2,650 shows, while Hindi shows and Tamil shows registered 15.63% across 2,742 and 22.69% across 370 shows respectively, with audience and critics giving mixed-to-negative reactions.
  • The Raja Saab surpassed Chhaava's Rs 31 crore and outperformed Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar's Rs 29 crore opening, with industry trackers noting Prabhas' six films above Rs 100 crore globally.
  • Saturday and Sunday will determine if The Raja Saab sustains its start, despite mixed reviews, as it positions the Telugu film industry for a strong early 2026 with Prabhas, lead actor.
