Prabhas' Raja Saab: Festive Release Amidst High Ticket Debate
7 Jan
Summary
- The Raja Saab releases January 9, facing off against Vijay's Jana Nayagan.
- Prabhas' film expects a strong opening day, potentially reaching Rs 76 crore net.
- Proposed premium ticket prices up to Rs 1,180 in multiplexes spark debate.
The Raja Saab, starring Prabhas, is scheduled for release on January 9, aiming to capitalize on the Sankranti festival window. The Telugu horror-comedy is anticipated to draw substantial audiences, especially given Prabhas' considerable fan base. The film's opening day collection is projected to be robust, with trade expectations pointing towards a potential Rs 76 crore net in India.
The festive release, however, intensifies the box office competition as The Raja Saab will directly clash with Thalapathy Vijay's Jana Nayagan. Pre-release interest, as tracked by BookMyShow, shows Jana Nayagan currently leading the buzz. Advance booking for The Raja Saab's Hindi version indicates a more muted reception in North Indian markets compared to its South Indian counterparts.
Adding to the pre-release discussion, proposed premium ticket prices for The Raja Saab in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, reaching up to Rs 1,180 in multiplexes, have become a talking point. The film, which has received a U/A 16+ certificate from the CBFC with minor trims to gory scenes, boasts a runtime exceeding three hours. In overseas markets, Jana Nayagan currently leads in advance bookings.
