Prabhas has done it again—but this time, the story at the box office is far more dramatic than anyone expected. The much-hyped **horror-comedy 'The Raja Saab'** stormed into theatres with packed shows and deafening whistles, yet its opening weekend numbers tell a tale of both triumph and tension. According to early trade estimates, the film has **sailed past the ₹100 crore mark in just three days**, riding on Prabhas' star power and massive fan following.[3][8][12] Despite this milestone, the weekend trend has fans and trade analysts equally restless. After a **thunderous Day 1 collection of around ₹53.75 crore**, the film saw a noticeable **drop to about ₹26 crore on Day 2**, followed by an even sharper slide to roughly **₹20 crore on Sunday (Day 3)**.[3][8][10] That brings the **early domestic total to around ₹108–110 crore**, which is impressive on paper—but worrisome when you look at the downward curve instead of the usual Sunday jump.[3][8] So what's going on with *The Raja Saab*? On the one hand, the film had everything going for it: - A **Sankranti release window** with holiday footfalls backing it.[7][10] - The return of Prabhas to a **lighter, massy horror-comedy space**, a refreshing shift after his string of heavy, action-driven films.[6][10] - Huge buzz and fan celebrations across Telugu states and beyond, including **special preview shows contributing ₹9.15 crore even before Day 1**.[6][12] On the other hand, the **day-wise trend** hints at mixed word-of-mouth. While hardcore fans turned up in full force on the first day, the **sharp declines on Saturday and Sunday** suggest that neutral audiences are more cautious.[3][7][8] For a big-ticket Prabhas film, sustaining momentum over the first weekend is crucial, and that's exactly where *The Raja Saab* is currently under scrutiny. Yet, crossing **₹100 crore in three days** is no small feat, especially in a crowded box office landscape where other biggies like **'Dhurandhar'** have been dominating for weeks.[1][4][5] In fact, *The Raja Saab* has already managed to shake up the pecking order at the Indian box office, staking its claim as a major festive-season player.[2][5] The big question now: Can *The Raja Saab* stabilize over the weekdays, ride the holiday advantage, and convert this strong opening into a solid long run? Or will the early drop limit its final tally despite a powerful start? Either way, **Prabhas has once again proven his pull**, turning a horror-comedy into a nationwide conversation and pushing the film past the coveted ₹100 crore mark in record time for the genre.[3][6][8] Here's a free-to-use themed image you can visualize with this box office surge: ```html
