The Raja Saab First Review (Hindi): Prabhas Shines In This Paisa Vasool Entertainer; But Climax Is....

The RajaSaab (Hindi) First Review: The RajaSaab is set to reach cinemas worldwide on 9 January 2026, aiming for the busy Sankranti holiday period after moving from earlier planned dates. The Prabhas‑led project draws strong attention as this is Prabhas's first full horror film, and early glimpses through the teaser and songs have already created notable pre‑release buzz among audiences. Billed as a large Pan‑India horror romance, The Raja Saab features Prabhas as a lively, charming youngster whose life turns dark when a frightening supernatural domain enters the story.

The RajaSaab blends romance, scares and mass‑style action, staying within a commercial mainstream space while trying a bigger horror canvas to appeal to viewers across different language markets. The Raja Saab is directed by Maruthi, who is usually associated with popular commercial entertainers and now attempts a large‑scale horror backdrop for the first time. Apart from Prabhas, The RajaSaab also features Sanjay Dutt, Boman Irani, Nidhhi Agerwal, Malavika Mohanan (in her Telugu film debut), Riddhi Kumar and Zarina Wahab. The RajaSaab is designed as a multilingual release in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam, aiming for a wide reach across India and overseas. And now, we have got our hands on the first review for the Hindi version
