The Raja Saab Box Office Collection Day 6: Prabhas‘ The Raja Saab continues to struggle at the box office despite a small jump in numbers on Day 6. The horror-comedy saw a slight rise on Wednesday due to the Makar Sankranti holiday. However, trade experts believe the film’s fate was decided during its opening weekend. The festive boost has not helped much in the long run. Read for the detailed box office report!
The Raja Saab Box Office Collection Day 6
As per Sacnilk, The Raja Saab earned around Rs 5.25 crore on Day 6 across all languages in India. While this minor increase brought hopes for makers, the collections are still far below expectations for a Prabhas-led Sankranti release. The film has now collected nearly Rs 124.65 crore net in India since its release on January 9, 2026.
For a big-budget pan-India film, these figures are considered disappointing. Trade trackers note that weekday drops have been sharp. Audience footfall has also failed to recover after mixed word of mouth.
Meanwhile, Chiranjeevi’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu has clearly won the festive box office battle. The film was released two days after The Raja Saab but quickly gained momentum. It crossed the Rs 100 crore mark globally within just two days and continues to perform strongly in the Telugu states.
Although The Raja Saab had a bigger opening day with nearly Rs 53.75 crore, Chiranjeevi’s film has shown much better consistency. On a similar comparison, Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu earned about Rs 19.5 crore on Wednesday (Day 3) alone. In contrast, The Raja Saab’s Day 6 collection is nearly 73% lower on the same day.
Due to its weak hold, The Raja Saab has lost several screens to Chiranjeevi’s film and other regional releases. This has further affected its daily collections.

Why The Raja Saab Failed To Connect
Trade analysts point to several reasons behind the film’s poor run. Despite its star power and scale, The Raja Saab received mixed to negative reviews. Many viewers criticised the weak story, slow pacing and confused mix of horror and comedy.
The visual effects also drew strong criticism. Audiences complained about poor-quality VFX and the noticeable use of body doubles with digital face replacements for Prabhas. The missing “old man” look from the initial theatrical cut, which was heavily promoted, added to the disappointment.
Director Maruthi Responds To Criticism
Director Maruthi recently defended the film’s poor performance by blaming the festive mood of audiences. He said viewers failed to connect with the film’s “deeper layers” during the holidays. His comments included warnings about “karma” for those mocking the film and triggered heavy backlash online. Many accused him of making excuses after serving a poor film.
Maruthi also admitted that nearly eight minutes showing Prabhas in an older avatar were missing from Day 1 screenings due to technical issues. Although these scenes were later added, critics say such explanations cannot cover a weak script and the film’s long 189-minute runtime.
At this point, The Raja Saab is unlikely to see a major recovery at the box office. Despite the brief Sankranti bump, trade experts believe the film will go down as one of the first major pan-India disasters of 2026.
