Sashidhar Adivi· Filmfare
5.0
"While The Raja Saab attempts to blend mystery, horror, and humour, it works only in parts. Given Prabhas's stature and past performances, the film ultimately turns out to be a letdown."

"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goes grossly unrealised because of an oversight, one that ignores its novelty until very late, as well as a sloppy, outdated approach that simply seems lost from start to finish. Prabhas' affable presence and the film's solid central idea cannot save it from spiraling out of control under the weight of its own ambitions."

4.0
"Unfortunately for the Prabhas-starrer, whenever it makes an attempt at the above-mentioned romance, it tests your patience. The humour works in bits and pieces. The 'horror comedy romance' never reaches its full potential after making you sit through an over-3-hour-long film."

3.0
"Director Maruthi's The Raja Saab, starring Prabhas, Sanjay Dutt and Nidhhi Agerwal, is a fantasy horror comedy that relies heavily on the lead actor. However, there's hardly anything that's redeemable in this soulless film."

2.0
"The RajaSaab makes no sense at all. No story, no act, no climax, terrible setup, petrifying background, unrealistic dubbed dialogues, irritating songs, and a horrible run-time! It starts, and then it feels like a slow poison; you just sit and wait for it to finish and not lose your health in between!"

2.0
"To have an entire three-hour-plus movie, where everyone around the hero is as pointless as the 'zero' button of a ceiling fan, must mean a lotta pressure to deliver, when the point of it is basically hot air."

Vinamra Mathur· Firstpost
"The Raja Saab is more than just a horror comedy or a larger-than-life ode to the stardom of the leading man. It's a film that also talks about family bonds and the battle with mental illness."

Shruti Sampat· Mid-Day
"The RajaSaab is a disappointing outing that may appeal only to die-hard fans, but leaves general audiences wanting more substance and cohesion despite being a stretched attempt. Despite a few entertaining moments and the actor's undeniable screen presence, the film struggles to hold together as a coherent or engaging experience."
