Andhra Pradesh has been the largest contributor to advance bookings so far, earning ₹1.35 crore (including block seats) and 22% real occupancy across 521 shows. The Prabhas-starring film's ticket price rise was approved by the Andhra Pradesh government on Wednesday, allowing for higher prices for both paid premieres and regular performances of The Raja Saab throughout the state.

 

Tickets for the film's paid premiere performances starting on Thursday will only cost ₹1000, according to a report in the Hindustan Times. Tickets for the regular shows, which start on January 9, have been raised by ₹150, bringing the cost per seat in single-screen theaters to ₹297.

 

For the first 10 days of The Raja Saab's run, ticket prices at Andhra Pradesh multiplexes were increased by ₹200 to ₹377 per seat. Additionally, the film team has been given permission to screen up to 5 episodes per day during this period. 

The Raja Saab Movie Box Office Collection Day 1 'Prediction'

If The Raja Saab is able to make about Rs 76 crore net in India on Day 1, Prabhas could set two significant opening-day records, according to a Koimoi report. Due to the celebratory release and the actor's star power, trade forecasts point to a blockbuster opening, particularly in the Telugu states.

 

According to trade portal Sacnilk, Jana Nayagan is presently leading the international market with just a few days remaining until release. Overseas pre-sales for the Vijay film's opening day, including premieres, have already surpassed $3.5 million (Rs 32+ crore).

 

The Raja Saab, on the other hand, has already received about $1 million (Rs 9 crore) in international advance bookings for Day 1 and premieres, making its international chances more difficult during the conflict.
