The Raja Saab Day 1 Nizam Collections: Prabhas’ Film Opens Strong Despite Hurdles

Prabhas’ much-anticipated film The Raja Saab hit theatres yesterday and opened to mixed reviews. Directed by Maruthi, the horror-fantasy entertainer faced initial challenges in Telangana, where ticket bookings for paid premieres were opened late and the number of shows was limited.

Even first-day bookings began only after midnight, yet the film managed an impressive opening. The Raja Saab collected approximately Rs. 22.5 crore gross on Day 1 in the Nizam territory, including limited premiere shows. These figures once again highlight Nizam as one of Prabhas’ strongest box office regions.

By the time bookings opened in Telangana, early word-of-mouth had already circulated. Nevertheless, Prabhas’ massive fan following and star power ensured a solid start for this Maruthi directorial venture.

Produced by People Media Factory, the film features an ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, Zarina Wahab, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Ridhhi Kumar in key roles.
