Prabhas’ The RajaSaab Tops Streaming Charts in 2026
Prabhas’ latest film, The RajaSaab, has achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the most-watched South Indian film on OTT platforms for the first half of 2026. According to the Ormax StreamView report covering January to June, the film amassed an impressive 17.5 million views, outpacing all other South releases on streaming services in India.
Directed by Maruthi and featuring Prabhas in a horror-comedy avatar, The RajaSaab also stars Malavika Mohanan, Nidhhi Agerwal, and Riddhi Kumar. While the film had generated significant pre-release excitement, it ultimately fell short at the box office and received mixed reviews. However, its digital performance has told a different story, underscoring Prabhas’ enduring appeal among OTT viewers. The report highlights that, "Prabhas’ unmatched reach on OTT continues, with his films attracting huge audiences irrespective of their theatrical performance."
The RajaSaab’s dominance is particularly notable given the strong presence of Malayalam cinema in the top ten, with titles like Dridam, Vaazha 2, and Sarvam Maya also making the list. Telugu films such as Ugly Story, Akhanda 2, and Arjun Son of Vyjayanthi joined The RajaSaab among the most-viewed, but none could match its numbers. The film’s success on JioHotstar demonstrates the shifting landscape of film consumption, where digital platforms can redefine a movie’s legacy.
With this OTT triumph, Prabhas reaffirms his status as a pan-Indian star whose popularity extends far beyond theatrical results. Fans will now be keenly watching for his next move, as anticipation builds for his upcoming projects.
