Prabhas’s film Dhadam? Makers lost their sleep after seeing the slow pace of 5th day at the box office
News India Live, Digital Desk: Whenever a film of ‘Baahubali’ star Prabhas comes out, drums are played outside the theater and the shows become housefull. Fans feel that “It’s a brother’s picture, the record will definitely be broken.” But what is happening with his latest release film ‘The Raja Saab’ is a bit disturbing. After making a splash in the initial days of its release, there has been such a decline in the film’s earnings on the 5th day that it has drawn lines of worry on the foreheads of box office experts. 5th Day Report Card: The figures are scary. According to the latest news, on the 5th day of its release (which was a working day), the film has collected Rs. Earned only Rs 4.85 crore (net collection). Now you will say that 4-5 crores is not less? It is not a matter of more or less, it is a matter of ‘star power’. If the collection of a megastar like Prabhas, whose films are capable of taking an opening of Rs 100 crore, falls into single digit and that too below Rs 5 crore, then it is an alarm bell. Why is there a sudden break? See, after the weekend (Saturday-Sunday), the earnings of every film fall on Monday and Tuesday, this is a normal thing. People return to work, children go to school. But the drop in the earnings of ‘The Raja Saab’ is faster than expected. Experts are giving some reasons behind this: Horror-comedy experiment: People like to see Prabhas doing action. This time he has tried something different, perhaps which is not being digested by every audience. Mouth Publicity: It seems that the film is getting mixed response from the audience. When a movie goes “Wow, what a movie!” If it does not fall in the latter category, then the theaters start remaining empty on working days. The way forward is difficult? Now all the responsibility rests on the coming second weekend. If the film does not pick up again on Friday-Saturday, it will be difficult to classify it as a hit. The budget of the film is huge and the makers have spent money like water. In such a situation, figures like 4.85 crores are not enough for recovery. However, Prabhas’ fans are loyal, it is possible that the film will pick up pace again on the holiday. But at present the truth is that ‘The Raja Saab’ is starting to lag a bit in the box office race.
