# Prabhas' **The Raja Saab** Crosses ₹130 Crore Milestone on Day 7 – But Is It Enough to Save the Day? Imagine the electric buzz of Sankranti festivities, theaters packed with fans cheering for Telugu superstar **Prabhas** in his horror-comedy extravaganza *The Raja Saab*. Yet, despite crossing the **₹130 crore** mark in India net collections by Day 7, the film's box office journey has been a rollercoaster of highs and sharp drops that has fans and analysts debating its fate. Released on January 9, 2026, *The Raja Saab* kicked off with massive hype, raking in **₹9.15 crore** from paid previews and a whopping **₹53.75 crore** on its opening day across all languages (Telugu: ₹47 crore; Hindi: ₹6 crore; others minimal).[1][9] The opening weekend was strong at around **₹99 crore** India net, fueled by Prabhas' star power and festive momentum.[1][2] However, weekday collections crashed hard amid mixed reviews and negative word-of-mouth, dipping to **₹6.6 crore** on Day 4, **₹4.8-5.35 crore** on Day 5, and a slight uptick to **₹5.25-5.75 crore** on Day 6 thanks to holidays.[2][5][6] On **Day 7** (Thursday, January 15, 2026), early estimates show **₹5.65 crore** India net, pushing the 7-day total to **₹130.40 crore**.[1] Telugu occupancy hovered at **36.80%**, indicating steady but unspectacular hold.[1] Worldwide, it's grossed around **₹163 crore** including **₹32 crore** (USD 3.55 million) overseas, with the US contributing significantly at over USD 2 million.[5] Here's a quick day-wise breakdown for India net (all languages, Sacnilk estimates): | Day | Collection (₹ Cr) | |--------------|-------------------| | Previews | 9.15 | | Day 1 | 53.75 | | Day 2 | ~26 | | Day 3 | ~19.1 | | Day 4 | 6.6 | | Day 5 | 4.8-5.35 | | Day 6 | 5.25-5.75 | | Day 7 | 5.65* | | **Total** | **130.40**[1][7] | Despite the milestone, challenges loom large. With a reported **₹400 crore** budget, the film has recovered just **~31%** so far, needing another **₹275 crore** net to break even – a tall order given the weekday slump and projections capping it at **₹150-175 crore** India net and **₹180-200 crore** worldwide.[2][5] Overseas markets like the US and UK showed promise early but are tapering off.[3][4] Prabhas fans, this is your Rebel Star fighting through the noise – will festive extensions and dubbed versions turn the tide?
