Audience reviews
The film tries a fantasy-driven idea which is not very common in mainstream Telugu cinema. A Twitter user wrote, “One Word : Disappointing Such A Good Concept Just Wasted On Typical Telugu 2010 Era Filmmaking …. A Good Script Would have made This a Brilliant Film but Makers Chose to Stay Away From Script …. Good Points Last 30 – 40 minutes were Watchable That Too With Keeping Logic Aside …. …. 2-3 High Moments …. Else Nothing Good Bad Points You can Write Essay on Bad Points …. You will feel Prabhas is Absolutely Not Interested in Acting .…” Another one wrote, “#TheRajaSaabReview (2.5/5) : The Raja Saab has an engaging plot and prabhas brings good energy but weak storytelling and poor execution make the film an okayish watch.” Overall ‘The Raja Saab’ needs a bigger push on Sunday or the coming days to attain magnificent box office numbers.
