With such figures, the high-octane action-thriller cruises to a comfortable third position among the top grossers this year, in terms of their box office business on opening day. Ranking after Salman Khan's Bharat and Akshay Kumar-starrer much-loved Mission Mangal, Prabhas' film beat the figures of Dharma Productions' Kalank and Kesari. Good publicity, and appropriate advance booking sales were credited to the big opening for Saaho.   Check out the tweet here
