Saaho box office collections: Prabhas starrer crosses Rs 350 cr; Hindi version bags Rs 102 cr
Saaho box office collections: In just five days, Telugu superstar Prabhas' latest movie Saaho has earned over Rs 350 crore. This feat has led the film-makers to release a new poster with the tagline: "India's biggest blockbuster of the year". Notably, the Hindi version of the action thriller has entered the exclusive Rs 100 crore club at the end of five days. Notably, many Bollywood movies fail to reach this mark despite boasting top actors.

Saaho Budget
A spy thriller produced by UV Creations with a huge budget of Rs 350 crore, Saaho has been slammed by critics for poor VFX and dumb screenplay. Movie critic Taran Adarsh termed the film unbearable and a waste of opportunity, and his earlier tweet said, "#Saaho: UNBEARABLE. A colossal waste of talent, big money and opportunity... Weak story, confusing screenplay and amateur direction." Image source: Twitter/UV Creations
Saaho in tough phase now
Saaho's Hindi version has also witnessed a drop in its collections and the upcoming week could be a tough one for it. Trade analyst Joginder Tuteja reportedly said that there was a 50% drop in the collections and the rough estimate of the Hindi version on Monday stands at around Rs 13-14 crore. Tuteja tweeted, "#Exclusive - #Saaho(Hindi) - #EarlyEstimates - 13-14 cr. A good hold with ~50% drop from Friday. I expected a bit more, considering excellent weekend and partial holiday of #GaneshChaturthi Let’s see if final tally comes to around 15 cr. (sic)." Image source: Youtube
