Prabhas’ action thriller Saaho has stayed strong in the first week of its theatrical run. While it is performing well worldwide and in south India, its Hindi version is super strong as well.
Saaho, which stars Shraddha Kapoor as the female lead, has grossed more than Rs 400 crore worldwide. A tweet from the official Twitter handle of the movie read. “Can you imagine anything getting bigger than this. #Saaho crosses 400Cr+ at BOs worldwide”
Jackie Shroff, Chunky Panday, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Mandira Bedi, Mahesh Manjrekar, Arun Vijay and Murali Sharma are also part of the film’s cast.
While reviews are mixed, Saaho is mostly earning praise from the audience. Moviegoers are particularly loving its action scenes, stunt work and visual effects.
Director Sujeeth had thanked fans for showing love on his film. In an Instagram post, he said, “Made my first short film when I was 17 years old. No money, No team but had a lot of support from Orkut and family. I edited, shot and directed 90% of my short films. I learned from my mistakes and criticism was always like an extra boost for my journey. Travelled very long way and faced many hurdles but never gave up. TODAY MANY PEOPLE saw SAAHO – some expected more from it, but many loved it! Thanks to all for watching the movie :) Please watch it again if you missed anything. I am sure you’ll enjoy even more. #Saaho.”
Andhra Box Office shared on their Twitter account, "#Saaho only 4th Film in Telugu States to Collect a DISTRIBUTOR SHARE of ₹80 Cr+ ( 10 Days, ₹80,24,87,822). Released mostly on Advance Basis through Different Distributors. Expectations were higher though."
"I watched #Saaho today one thing I can say it’s master movie until end, those who says there is no story or those critics giving bad reviews they don’t understand what’s action trailer movie , all cast did great job. Love from Finland," tweeted a user @zabiali3.
@Naveen61493881 shared via Twitter, "Watched little late, but it is a best action movie on indian screen in recent times kudos."
Ramesh Bala tweeted, "#Prabhas' #Saaho continues to rule the Hindi Box office on the second weekend too as it collects 14.95 cr on its second weekend. Fri 3.75 cr, Sat 4.6 cr, Sun 6.6 cr, Total: 130.98 cr. @UV_Creations @TSeries @itsBhushanKumar #ShraddhaKapoor"
UV Creations took to Twitter and wrote, "Can you imagine anything getting bigger than this. #Saaho crosses 400Cr+ at BOs worldwide"
Nani starrer Gang Leader is scheduled to hit screens on September 13. The thriller, also starring Karthikeya, Priyanka Arul Mohan, Lakshmi, Saranya, Aneesh Kuruvilla, Priyadarshi, Raghubabu, Vennela Kishore, Jaija, Pranya and Sathya, shouldn't pose a threat to Prabhas starrer Saaho.
A user @Taan13041249 posted on Twitter, "Producers and directors, please stop putting the entire burden on one man. #Prabhas will pull the film alone, do 50% of the promotions alone, face criticism alone. Not done. Rope in heroines with box office pulls as well. #Saaho"
Everything a thriller needs is in here, and you settle down, fully prepared for a non-stop, breathless, firing-from-all-cylinders ride. But Saaho turns out to be a damp squib.

Ramesh Bala wrote on Twitter, "#Saaho Hindi has done well over the weekend. All-India. The 10 day total nett is around ₹ 131 Crs."
A user @MokaBhuvan shared on Twitter, "I can confidently say that this level of depth and intelligent storytelling and screenplay has never come in an Indian movie, probably world cinema. Not always Hollywood and foreign movies are great. Now we have #Saaho as a strong answer. This should be accepted by all."
"#Saaho has crossed ₹ 400 Crs+ Gross at the WW Box office in 10 days," Ramesh Bala said via Twitter.
A user @Amankaushik004 tweeted, "What A Movie #saaho. India's biggest thrill. Gud to see @ShraddhaKapoor @NeilNMukesh #Prabhas great work. Well Done Guys."
A user @sdilip476 posted on Twitter, "#Saaho is all about living in other's shadows. Saaho lives in the shadow of Ashok Chakravarthy and fools police. Arun Vijay lives in the shadow of Saaho and fools the gangsters. Its all about mind games."
A user @bullseye11007 wrote on Twitter, "Today watched #Saaho in Hindi. Very nice and gripping. Superb stunts. Prabhas is superb. @ShraddhaKapoor is very beautiful, glamorous and very good as cop. A good entertainer. So many twists and turns."
Ramesh Bala shared on Twitter, "#Saaho crosses A$1 Million at the #Australia Box office."
