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.
#Saaho sets the BO on 🔥🔥🔥... Shows big gains on Day 3... Packs a phenomenal total in its opening weekend... North and East India are exceptional, other circuits fantastic too... Fri 24.40 cr, Sat 25.20 cr, Sun 29.48 cr. Total: ₹ 79.08 cr Nett BOC. India biz. #Hindi version.

Trade analysts further wrote that negative reviews have not affected the film's performance. Positive word-of-mouth has attracted audience to cinemas.
#Exclusive- #Saaho (Hindi) - #EarlyEstimates
The film is going great guns today with collections heading towards 26-27 cr
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!
