February 6 has turned into a rough day for Prabhas and Maruthi. The OTT arrival of Raja Saab has triggered a wave of trolling across social media platforms. The reaction has been largely negative since its release.
Though the film premiered on OTT only today, it quickly became a target for memes and jokes. Social media users have been openly mocking the film. Positive feedback has been hard to find since the digital debut.
Most of the criticism has been directed at Prabhas and Maruti. Viewers have pointed out the excessive use of body doubles and dupes for Prabhas. Many questioned his screen presence and overall effort in the film.
On the other hand, Maruti has once again come under sharp criticism. He has been facing backlash for weeks, and the OTT release brought him back into focus. Several scenes have drawn heavy trolling.
The hospital sequence, which was heavily promoted earlier, has been singled out for criticism. Social media users have slammed the execution and direction. The backlash has continued without pause.
Overall, February 6 has been particularly harsh for both Prabhas and Maruthi. The criticism surrounding Raja Saab shows no signs of slowing down. The situation has reminded many of the backlash Prabhas faced during Adipurush.
