The Telugu film The Raja Saab has started its box office journey on a very positive note. The movie stars Prabhas in the lead role and is directed by Maruthi Dasari. Even before the official release the film showed strong interest from audiences across India.

Advance bookings for The Raja Saab have been impressive. The film sold more than one lakh fifty thousand tickets before day one. These ticket sales brought in around four point three one crore rupees in advance collections. This figure does not include blocked seats which means the actual numbers can go higher on release day. As per the latest update, the booking have crossed Rs. 3.5 crore already.

The movie is playing in nearly three thousand shows across the country. On average each show already has more than fifty people watching. Andhra Pradesh has given the biggest support so far. The state alone contributed close to three point five crore rupees from advance bookings. There are over one thousand shows in the state. Many of these shows are almost full while several others are filling very fast.

When blocked seats are also counted Andhra Pradesh alone has already crossed six crore rupees in collections. Premiere show ticket prices are close to one thousand rupees per seat. Regular show ticket prices range between two hundred fifty and three hundred seventy rupees. These rates clearly show the strong demand for the film.

This opening is important for Prabhas. His recent films had mixed results at the box office. However audiences still trust his star power. With The Raja Saab he is carrying the film mostly on his shoulders. The absence of major competing releases has helped the movie a lot. A big Tamil release was postponed which reduced competition in both Indian and overseas markets.

The Raja Saab also has a strong supporting cast. The film features Sanjay Dutt, Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan along with several popular comedians and character actors.

Trade experts believe that if the film gets good word of mouth on day one it can post a very strong opening weekend. All eyes are now on audience response after the first shows begin.
