The Raja Saab Reaches ₹130.24 Crore In Week One With No Pongal Bump

Trade sources warn of steep distributor losses in the Telugu states.

Overview

  • Prabhas’ horror-comedy added an estimated ₹5.49 crore on day seven, taking its India total to ₹130.24 crore, according to Sacnilk’s latest update.
  • After a ₹53.75 crore opening day, daily collections slid sharply, with only a slight Bhogi holiday uptick on day six to ₹5.25 crore.
  • Coverage cites a reported ₹400 crore budget, leaving a large gap between costs and current box-office receipts.
  • A distributor quoted by Deccan Chronicle said Telugu-state distributors face 40–50% losses, noting roughly ₹70 crore net in the region and intensified competition from Chiranjeevi’s release from January 12.
  • Producers said theatres have received a four-minute addition featuring Prabhas’ older look after resolving a server issue that initially kept the footage out.
