Actor Prabhas' latest film, The Raja Saab, has hit the big screen, but early reactions have been mixed. The pan-India horror-comedy, which also stars Sanjay Dutt and Boman Irani, has divided viewers on social media, with some calling it a 'royal mess of scares and confusion.' While some viewers praised the film's climax, others were disappointed with the weak screenplay, outdated storytelling, and poor production quality. Some social media users felt that the film failed to deliver on its horror elements, and the narrative felt flat. They also criticized Prabhas' performance, stating that he appeared dull and under-utilized. However, a section of viewers praised the film's climax, calling it 'power-packed, emotional, and visually grand.' One social media user noted that the film's execution fell short of its promising concept, while another felt that the film lacked emotional hook or the 'wow' factor required to sustain momentum. Despite the negative reviews, some viewers praised Prabhas' performance, stating that he brought back his vintage 'Darling' energy with excellent comedy timing and powerful screen presence. The film, which released on January 9 in multiple languages, has managed to mint ₹50 crore in pre-sales. However, its mixed response on social media may impact its box office performance. The film's producers, People Media Factory and IVY Entertainment, had high expectations from the film, but it appears that it has failed to meet them.
