Raja Saab Box Office Collection Day 2: The Raja Saab finally hit cinemas on January 9, 2026 with a wave of anticipation. Fans had been buzzing for months, thanks to strong advance bookings and high expectations from the Baahubali-to-Kalki 2898 AD star.
According to industry tracking, The Raja Saab pulled in a solid ₹54.15 crore on its opening day across India, combining Thursday paid previews and Friday’s full run. That total included about ₹45 crore net within India itself, and marked a noteworthy start even as audiences and critics remained split on the film’s overall impact.
But with big openings come big questions especially about sustainability. Day 2 collections over the first Saturday are now in, and the story unfolds with nuance rather than runaway success.
Raja Saab Box Office Collection Day 2
Official trackers along with trade reports are saying that The Raja Saab’s box office collection has declined on the second day of its release. The early guess gives a collection of ₹2.54 crores on Saturday, which makes the total net amount nearly ₹65.84 crores after 2 days of release.
Sacnilk says that less audience watched the film on Saturday as compared to Friday and the film’s popularity might have reached the peak once the weekend audience settled down.
What’s Fueling the Drop?
Theater owners think that mixed reviews by the public are the main reason for the small amount collected on Day 2. Early public opinion was divided between praising Prabhas’s screen presence and complaining about the film’s slow pace and storytelling choices. While the most loyal followers filled the first screenings, wider audiences were more reluctant, which may have reduced the number of people coming to see the movie on Saturday.
Another reason is the box office competition. At the same time, the other new releases, including Dhurandhar, were still pulling in audiences at the box office which made it a very busy market for entertainment.

Cast & Crew Responses
The Raja Saab team have been keeping a good attitude throughout the weekend’s lower figures. Malavika Mohanan, the actress, has been posting about her experiences during the film’s shooting and sharing fun moments from the set; she is a member of the cast that also includes Sanjay Dutt, Nidhhi Agerwal, Boman Irani, etc.
Meanwhile, the producers are already considering global possibilities, among which are the plans to release the film first in certain international markets like Japan, where Prabhas’s fan base is very strong, before the rest of the world.
What’s Next for Raja Saab at the Box Office?
At this stage, The Raja Saab remains a story in progress. While Day 2 figures suggest a weekday-like drop, it’s too early to label the film a hit or miss. The film’s weekend finish, how it holds up on Sunday will be crucial in painting a clearer picture of its commercial trajectory. For a mass-market release headlined by one of India’s biggest stars, the true test often comes over multiple days, not just the opening weekend.
