'The Raja Saab' Shakes Box Office, Earns 45 Crore on Day 1, Beats 'Dhurandhar'

• Prabhas's 'The Raja Saab' earned 45 crore rupees on its opening day, with a total of 54.15 crore including pre-release business.
• The horror-comedy film, directed by Maruthi, saw a huge crowd despite mixed critical reviews.
• It surpassed Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar' (28 crore) in first-day earnings.
• However, 'The Raja Saab' failed to match the opening day collections of Prabhas's previous films like 'Salaar' (90 crore) and 'Kalki 2898 AD' (95 crore).
• The film features Prabhas alongside Sanjay Dutt, Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, Riddhi Kumar, Boman Irani, and Zarina Wahab.

Why It Matters: Prabhas's 'The Raja Saab' had a strong opening, beating 'Dhurandhar', but fell short of his past blockbusters.
