The RajaSaab Fails: Why North India is Choosing Dhurandhar and Laalo Instead (2026)

In a surprising turn of events, the Hindi version of the film 'The RajaSaab' has underperformed at the box office, leading to a significant change in the release strategy. The film's poor performance has forced exhibitors in North India to replace its shows with other films, including 'Dhurandhar', 'Laalo', and 'Happy Patel'.

Roshan Singh, a prominent film exhibitor from Bihar, shared his experience, stating, 'The RajaSaab has recorded shockingly low collections in Hindi. We had to cancel night shows for zero attendance and replace them with Dhurandhar and Laalo.'

The success of 'Dhurandhar' at the box office is notable, and this Friday, Aamir Khan's 'Happy Patel Khatarnak Jasoosis' is expected to make a significant impact. However, 'The RajaSaab' is facing substantial losses, estimated to be around Rs. 200-250 crore. Interestingly, the director Maruthi believes that the film can only be truly understood after watching it twice, which has raised eyebrows among viewers.

This development raises questions about the film's appeal and the strategies employed by exhibitors. It remains to be seen whether 'The RajaSaab' can recover its losses and find its audience. Meanwhile, 'Dhurandhar' and 'Happy Patel' are set to dominate the box office, offering a contrast in genres and storytelling.
