Here’s a review overview of The RajaSaab (2026), the Prabhas-starrer horror-comedy directed by Maruthi — based on multiple critic reviews and audience reactions after its release:
🎬 What the film is about
The RajaSaab is a Telugu horror-comedy featuring Prabhas alongside Sanjay Dutt, Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan, Riddhi Kumar and others. It mixes supernatural elements (haunted palace, hypnosis, exorcism) with light-hearted sequences and emotional beats.
⭐ Critical Reception
Overall, The RajaSaab has received largely negative reviews from critics:
Common critical points:
Weak script & poor storytelling: Critics say the writing lacks cohesion, jumps between scenes awkwardly, and fails to develop its interesting premise into a satisfying story.
Tone confusion: Attempts at horror, comedy and drama often clash, making the film feel disjointed.
Underutilized cast: Even with a star like Prabhas, supporting actors (including the heroines) aren’t given strong character arcs.
Technical flaws: Visual effects and pacing have been criticized as subpar for a film of this scale. (
Summary from critics:
The RajaSaab feels “loud, lazy, and hopelessly outdated” with an overstretched narrative and weak execution — even Prabhas’ performance can’t lift it.
👥 Audience & Social Media Reactions
Audience responses online have been mixed to negative:
Negative reactions include:
Many social media viewers called the film boring, dull, and outdated.
Some find the first half slow and directionless, with only the last 40–50 minutes being watchable.
A few fans have criticized the VFX, pacing, and execution.
More positive takes:
A small group of viewers praised the second half and climax and enjoyed the emotional moments.
Others think Prabhas’ screen presence still shines, even if the film around him falters.
🧠 Bottom Line
The RajaSaab is generally seen as a disappointing horror-comedy that had an intriguing concept but fell flat in execution. It struggles with:
a weak, inconsistent screenplay
ineffective horror and comedy elements
odd tonal shifts
and pacing issues
Fans of Prabhas might find some enjoyable moments, but the movie overall fails to fully engage critics and many audiences.
