The Telangana High Court overturned an earlier order that restrained any increase in ticket prices and left the matter of ticket price enhancement to the discretion of the state government. The court allowed this stating that The Raja Saab is a low-budget film and such steps are mainly taken for big-budget films like Pushpa 2, Game Changer, OG and Akhanda 2.

The only Positive of the movie is the entry scene of #prabhas. Rest of the movie is slow, outdated and obviously a complete joke of CINEMA. Go and watch it only if you wanna waste your hard earned money. PRABHAS Acting in the movie is so so Dull ...he looks lethargic all the way..it's time for him to look into his fitness and choose better scripts. The movie is full of VFX trying to hide Prabhas body and face fat..and to worsen it ... PRABHAS's Sleepy acting throughout didn't help either. SKIP! SKIP! SKIP! SKIP! SKIP! SKIP!"

The Raja Saab Movie LIVE Updates: 'Refreshing to see Prabhas in an energetic role after a long time'
Venky Reviews shared via X, "The Raja Saab A Horror/Fantasy Drama with an interesting concept and an energetic Prabhas, but a clumsy and disjointed screenplay make it tiresome! The core concept is intriguing, and a few sequences built around it work well, especially the pre-climax. However, the commercial elements feel outdated and test patience throughout the film. The disjointed screenplay by Maruti, combined with choppy editing, hampers the flow. It is refreshing to see Prabhas in an energetic role after a long time. He easily stands out as the film’s biggest strength. The VFX works in a few places but falls short in others. Thaman’s music keeps the proceedings afloat. While it is commendable to see a star back a fresh concept, the director fails to present it in an engaging manner. The intended impact does not land. Not up to the mark! "

The Raja Saab Movie LIVE Updates: Prabhas film to have a sequel
Prabhas-starrer The RajaSaab springs a surprise on audiences with its closing moments, clearly signalling that the story is far from over. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the makers reveal that the film will continue with a sequel titled RajaSaab 2: Circus 1935. While The RajaSaab primarily unfolds as a lavishly mounted horror-comedy, its final stretch expands the narrative into a much larger universe. The sequel’s intriguing title hints at a period setting, suggesting a journey back in time that could blend vintage aesthetics, mystery, and spectacle. These elements align seamlessly with director Maruthi’s signature style of fusing genre-driven thrills with mass entertainment.
The Raja Saab Movie LIVE Updates: 'Lazy waste of time that mistakes noise for cinema'
Trade analyst Rohit Jaiswal shared his movie review for The Raja Saab and wrote, "The Raja Saab is a Royal Disaster Absolute Embarrassment….This isn’t a film, it’s a loud, lazy waste of time that mistakes noise for cinema and scale for substance. The script feels AI-generated, no soul just endless scenes stitched together…Let’s be clear,this is NOT on Prabhas. The man shows up but the film doesn’t. He’s trapped in a clueless mess that neither understands his stardom nor gives him anything worth performing. The horror-comedy angle is not funny, not scary, VFX looks unfinished, sets look fake, editing feels accidental, and the background score keeps shouting to hide the emptiness…… Overall The Raja Saab is a soulless spectacle that insults the audience and squanders a superstar. Prabhas deserved better…..So did cinema…. #therajasaab #prabhas #therajasaabreview #maruthi."

The Raja Saab Movie LIVE Updates: Prabhas film outearns Dhurandhar
Ranveer Singh's film has enjoyed a long and uninterrupted run at the box office as it moved past competition without nary a worry. However, it appears after 35 days of release, Dhurandhar finally has competition in the form of Prabhas' The Raja Saab.

The Raja Saab Movie LIVE Updates: Our Verdict
Prabhas-starrer The Raja Saab ultimately does little to justice its solid central idea, unfolding as a sloppy and outdated affair from start to finish. Despite Prabhas’ affable screen presence, the film repeatedly spirals out of control, failing to find a consistent rhythm or emotional depth. What begins as a delectable proposition — a coming-of-age story centred on a young man determined to reclaim his doting grandmother’s lost reputation — soon loses its way amid muddled storytelling and uninspired execution. The promise at the outset is undeniable, but the film never quite capitalises on its potential, leaving behind a largely underwhelming cinematic experience.

The Raja Saab Movie Early Review LIVE Updates: 'The climax action episode works well' for Prabhas film
X page Telugu360 shared Raja Saab Movie Review that read, "Raja Saab is a below average film. The humongous climax Action / VFX episode appeal for fans and the mass audience but its too late. The core story which is mix of horror, tantrik elements, hypnosis, and paranormal themes turns out to be confusing - that could have been better. Prabhas and a few isolated episodes emerge as the main saving graces.
Positives:
•Prabhas looks Good throughout, energetic
•The climax action episode works well
•The stretch from pre-interval to interval is engaging
Negatives:
•Weak narration
•Unimpressive songs
•The first hour of the film drags and underwhelms
Overall, Raja Saab had the potential to be a much better film, but ultimately falls short. #theraajasaab #rajasaabreview."
