The much-awaited pan-India film The Raja Saab is gearing up for a strong theatrical opening as it heads for its January 9 release, perfectly timed with the Sankranthi festival season. Starring Prabhas, the film is already generating solid buzz across regions, with trade circles expecting an impressive start, especially in the Telugu states where festival holidays traditionally drive high footfalls.
In Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, The Raja Saab is likely to benefit significantly from the Sankranthi advantage, with family audiences and fans showing keen interest. Even with controlled promotions, Prabhas films are known to register strong openings, and exhibitors are optimistic about packed shows during the extended holiday window.
North India also appears promising, as Prabhas continues to enjoy pan-India recognition following his previous releases. Industry observers note that his films tend to open well in Hindi markets based on star value alone, and positive early talk could further boost collections in this belt.
The real test, however, is expected in Tamil Nadu, where the film faces stiff competition from other major releases arriving around the same time. Despite this, Karnataka and Kerala are projected to see decent openings, aided by Prabhas’ steady fan base and curiosity around the film’s genre.
Directed by Maruthi, The Raja Saab blends horror and fantasy elements, adding freshness to Prabhas’ lineup. Trade analysts believe that if the film manages to generate positive word of mouth in the first few days, it could translate into strong and sustained box office performance across most regions, making it one of the notable Sankranthi releases of the year.
