The Raja Saab OTT Release Date: JioHotstar Makes Big Announcement For Prabhas Starrer Romantic Horror Comedy

Hyderabad, February 5 - Pan India superstar Prabhas' romantic horror comedy The Raja Saab is all set to make its digital debut on February 6 on JioHotstar. The Maruthi-directed entertainer will be available to stream in Telugu along with Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada versions, while the Hindi version will stream after 8 weeks of theatrical release. Just ahead of the digital premiere, JioHotstar has made a big announcement that The Raja Saab will have an extended cut, which will be bigger than the theatrical print. The movie is originally 3 hours and 3 minutes long, but the latest announcement by the streamer has confirmed new footage for its digital version. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) While the streamer confirmed that audiences will get to watch an expanded version with additional footage, the platform has not yet revealed the exact runtime of the extended cut. The move appears to be aimed at offering a more detailed narrative experience, possibly restoring scenes that were trimmed for cinemas. Directed by Maruthi, The Raja Saab features Prabhas in a rare romantic-comedy avatar blended with supernatural elements. Despite good pre-release hype and the star's massive fanbase, the film failed to perform at the box office, ending its theatrical journey on a disappointing note. Mixed word of mouth and its lengthy runtime were cited as key reasons behind its underwhelming reception. Stay tuned...

Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar: Most Watched Bollywood Theatrical Film In Hindi in the Post-Pandemic Era

Mumbai, February 1 - Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar has made its digital debut recently, but not before scripting history at the box office. It not only became the biggest Bollywood grosser domestically but also emerged as the most-watched Bollywood film in Hindi in the post-pandemic era, registering an extraordinary 3.65+ crore admissions during its theatrical run. Released solely in Hindi, Dhurandhar's massive numbers highlight its unparalleled acceptance among audiences, making it a landmark film for an original Hindi release in the post-COVID box office landscape. Despite not being a Pan India release, the film came remarkably close to the overall Bollywood footfall record held by Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan, which remains the number one Bollywood film across all versions with approximately 3.80 crore admissions, including approximately 3.30 crores in Hindi, since the health crisis. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) It is not an exaggeration to say that Dhurandhar could have comfortably surpassed Jawan had it been released in other languages and might have also topped 4 crore (40 million) admissions overall. Even so, achieving such proximity to Jawan's all-version tally with just a single-language release underlines the film's historic theatrical pull. Meanwhile, Allu Arjun's pan-India blockbuster Pushpa 2 continues to dominate on another front, standing as the most-watched film of the post-COVID era in the Hindi language, with an estimated 3.88 crore Hindi admissions. Pushpa 2 was a phenomenon before Dhurandhar, largely due to its sequel factor and extraordinary hype around it. Together, these numbers reflect the evolving dynamics of the post-pandemic box office, where original Hindi films like Dhurandhar are competing head-to-head with large-scale pan-India productions. Ranveer Singh's film, in particular, has proven that strong content and audience connection can deliver record-breaking theatrical results even without the advantage of multiple language versions.

The film stars Janhvi Kapoor as the female lead, with music composed by A.R. Rahman, adding to the already high expectations surrounding the project.
