Saaho box office collection Day 13: Prabhas starrer is on a roll.
Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor starrer Saaho opened to poor reviews but it continues to mint money. The film has, so far, earned over Rs 400 crore at the worldwide box office.
Director Sujeeth recently spoke to Deccan Chronicle about the criticism coming his way.
“What did I do? I made the film that Prabhas sir, my producers, and I believed in. The audiences came in large numbers to watch it, but still, I am being treated harshly as if I have committed a crime,” he said.
Sujeeth also added that the star and producers of Saaho continue to support him. “Prabhas sir and the producers are supporting me. That’s the only good thing happening in my life right now.”
Alongside Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor, the film also starred Murali Sharma, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Chunky Panday, Mahesh Manjrekar, Mandira Bedi, Prakash Belawadi, Arun Vijay, Jackie Shroff and Evelyn Sharma.
A user @NuetralBee took to Twitter and wrote, "Critics and people making fun of saaho. Watch it with your mind and full concentration. Don't just watch it for fun. Give it some importance like u do with ur fav Hollywood movies which u worship unconditionally. Give some love to well made Indian movies also #saaho #Saahoreview"
Despite a tepid start, Chhichhore is gaining pace at the box office. Taran Adarsh posted on Twitter, "#Chhichhore continues its winning streak... The super-strong hold on weekdays increases its chances of hitting 100 cr... Fri 7.32 cr, Sat 12.25 cr, Sun 16.41 cr, Mon 8.10 cr, Tue 10.05 cr, Wed 7.20 cr. Total: Rs 61.33 cr. #India biz."
A user @shubhkaus tweeted, "#Saaho Hindi is eyeing for 150 Cr finish now. Nothing less than an achievement for a movie which was supposed to be a disaster by few so called fake critics/trade people. You can't take out masses from the equation. #Prabhas is now only next to Salman in mass circuits. HIT"
A user @Rahuman_MA shared on Twitter, "Watched #Saaho the cast was so good. Everything is just right in this delightful concoction. Kudos to the producers for backing this :) So happy for you @arunvijayno1 You are a masterpiece. Hatsofff. @ShraddhaKapoor Cute as always."
A user @ursdpm wrote on Twitter, "#Saaho is a near perfect Hollywoodish kind of modern style action thriller. May not be for the masses..but none of the popular critics got it right. They don't deserve to be called a 'critic' if they can't recognise the excellent cinematic artistry of this film."
“I am on top-of-the-world — both my films have been received so well and loved by the audiences. Saaho is my biggest grosser till date. I am cherishing every bit of it. I am super grateful and happy about both doing well,” Shraddha Kapoor told DNA.
