The Raja Saab, starring Prabhas, has finally hit theatres. However, early public talk and Hindi reviews indicate a largely negative response for the horror-comedy directed by Maruthi.
The film follows a young heir who embraces his rebellious nature. He rises to power and establishes dominance during his reign, blending fantasy elements with horror and comedy.
While the fantasy horror-comedy genre has worked well in recent years, The Raja Saab fails in execution. Viewers complained about a dull screenplay, uneven VFX, and an excessively long runtime.
Several users pointed out that Maruthi’s unclear vision hurt the film. Many scenes felt stretched and illogical, making the overall experience tiring for a large section of the audience.
Although this is being termed another setback for Prabhas in recent years, most criticism is directed at the makers. Viewers feel the actor is repeatedly choosing weak scripts while charging high remuneration.
Labelled a royal disaster by many, audiences said the horror-comedy angle simply did not land. The film’s plot was described as soulless and scattered, with no emotional or narrative grip.
Despite opening with decent box office numbers, trade buzz suggests the film may witness a sharp drop after the first weekend. The negative word of mouth could severely impact its long-term run.
