Entering “Pinkvilla Predict” in tracking this week is Prabhas starrer The Raja Saab (Hindi). This is also the final forecast for Avatar: Fire and Ash.
Raja Saab (09/01/2026)
First Day Box Office Prediction: Rs. 6-9 crores
Raja Saab is a fantasy horror-comedy presented by Prabhas, a genre that is currently in vogue, having given some major hits, including currently the highest-grossing original Hindi film of all time, Stree 2. The film is set on a grand scale with extensive visual effects, which adds to its dramatic appeal.
Prabhas has consistently given openings in the Hindi circuit with his films; However, those films mainly belonged to the action genre or had strong religious sentiments. Although the horror-comedy genre is working, the comedy in this film is typical of a South Indian film, which can be a problem, especially in bigger centres.
The first teaser of the film did not impress, but the trailer was better. The songs did not leave any mark, but this is rare in the case of dubbed films.
other updates
Avatar: Fire and Ashes Pre-sales for Avatar: The Way of Water are tracking lower than was largely expected, although the decline has proven to be somewhat steeper than initially anticipated. The ongoing box office scare has made things more difficult, which will normally present it a challenge in terms of performance and competition. As a result, the forecast has been reduced to Rs. Nett from Rs 21-26 crore. 30-35 crores nett.
there are whispers of twenty-one Moving from December 25th to January 1st, although nothing has been made official yet. This would be a wise move as the film will find it extremely difficult to garner adequate exposure on December 25 amid competition from Dhurandhar, Avatar and TMMTMTTM. While the change in release date is unlikely to significantly alter its opening, the January 1 release will offer a far better performance, giving it a go and not getting lost in the plethora of releases.
