The Raja Saab Day 4 Box Office: Prabhas Horror-Comedy Hits a Wall

New Delhi, january 13, 2026: The latest cinematic outing from pan-India superstar Prabhas, The Raja Saab, is facing a harsh reality check at the global box office. Despite a thunderous opening day that saw the film cross the ₹100 crore mark worldwide, the “Monday Test” has proven to be a disastrous hurdle. As of Day 4, the Maruthi-directorial has struggled to reach a cumulative worldwide gross of ₹170 crore, showing a sharp decline that has sent alarm bells ringing for trade analysts.

A Disastrous Monday Crash

After a weekend that saw steady but concerning drops, the film experienced a “free fall” on its first Monday. Early estimates suggest the film collected just ₹5.4 crore to ₹6.6 crore net across India on Day 4. This represents a staggering 70% dip from its Sunday numbers.

In the crucial Hindi belt, where Prabhas usually commands a massive following, the film managed a meager ₹1.75 crore, while the Tamil version virtually disappeared with collections in the lakhs. For a film produced on a reported budget of ₹350 crore, these single-digit weekday numbers are a grim sign of things to come.

Faring Worse Than Adipurush and Saaho

The most worrying aspect for the makers is the comparison with Prabhas’ previous underperformers. Even films like Adipurush and Saaho, which faced significant critical backlash, managed to maintain a much stronger hold on their first Monday, with both netting over ₹15 crore on Day 4.

The Raja Saab has failed to achieve even half of those figures, signaling that the audience’s interest in this horror-comedy transition is fading faster than expected. While fans initially celebrated the return of the “vintage, charming Prabhas,” the “soulless” screenplay and “sloppy execution” cited by critics seem to have deterred the general public.

The Global Picture

The only silver lining remains the Overseas Market, particularly the United States, where the film had a strong start. However, even the international momentum is cooling off.

The Road Ahead

With a heavy budget and high stakes, the film’s path to recovery looks increasingly narrow. While the upcoming Sankranti holidays might provide a minor “damage control” boost, the arrival of new competition from films like Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu and Anaganaga Oka Raju will further squeeze its screen count.

Unless there is a miraculous turnaround in the coming week, The Raja Saab risks being labeled as another expensive misfire for the Baahubali star, proving that even star power has its limits when the content fails to resonate.
