The Rajasaab

Sankranthi 2026 kicks off with The Rajasaab — and yes… it’s a romantic horror comedy starring Rebel Star Prabhas, directed by Maruthi. We watched it on opening night and walked out feeling like this movie has moments… but also feels choppy, overstuffed, and weirdly edited — like entire scenes vanished between the trailer and the final cut. From the “this could be interesting” bits to the “wait… what is even real?” climax chaos (hello crocodile + giant ), we break down what worked, what didn’t, and why this might be getting more hate than it deserves online.⚠️ Spoilers start mid-episode — we clearly mark the chapter.Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/7hWLpaJVDJo⏱️ Timestamps0:24 Intro + Happy New Year / Sankranthi1:10 Maruthi filmography + expectations for Rajasaab2:34 Genre check: romantic horror comedy + release delays + budget blowout3:32 First impressions: “has moments” but feels incoherent4:48 Missing trailer scenes + choppy edits5:24 Is it better than Radhe Shyam / Adipurush?
