 "Saaho box office collection: Hindi version of Prabhas' action film earns Rs 79.08 cr in opening weekend")
The Hindi version of Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor’s action film, Saaho , grossed Rs 79.08 crore in three days. According to trade analysts, the film has been a big success so far, especially in the Northern and Eastern parts of the country. On 1 September (Sunday), it earned Rs 29.48 crore.
However, critics have called Saaho “ an over-indulgent, over-stylised film in which looks have been prioritised over substance, swagger over script. ”
Here are Saaho’s latest box office figures.

It’s simple - Critics’ views have had ZERO impact in the film. It’s audience word of mouth that will do the talking and so far it’s going excellent!
Here is a comparison of how Baahubali, its sequel and Saaho have performed at the box office.
