Telugu superstar Prabhas shoehorns his appeal into this ill-fitting vehicle, a low-brow pitch to his legion of fans that hurls broad comedy, half-baked horror tropes and laptop special effects with little concern for coherence or character.

The Raja Saab is a film whose potential goes grossly unrealised because of an oversight, one that ignores its novelty until very late, as well as a sloppy, outdated approach that simply seems lost from start to finish.

Within minutes of the curtains rising, Prabhas’s horror-comedy The Raja Saab burns through almost all the horror tropes in the book.

Prabhas tries hard, very hard indeed, to lift the film out of its morass but it is all akin to tilting at windmills. Flitting between two personas - invincible action hero and sociable young man - the actor stretches himself thin.

The Raja Saab’s aim might be to make you laugh, but the overall film needed more profundity and brilliance.

2.5/5

While the film attempts to deliver chills, laughs, spooky twists, and humorous moments, it ultimately misses the mark. Weak writing and a lack of impactful scenes mar the narrative.

Movie could have been better but happy to see Prabhas for entire movie with all kinds of performances. Movie should have been kept to below 3 hours and would have made it even better.

Movie was good throughout…experienced a new prabhas but movie team did a blunder mistake in removing the old getup scenes of prabhas…heard they have added recently but we still watched the older version without new scenes in US today…should never do these kind of expensive mistakes…the version we watched felt a bit lagged in second half can easily trim off 10-15 mins…one time watch( old version)
