Has the new Prabhas film, Saaho, been a hit or flop? Is it worth the hype? Let’s take a look at the Budget, Box office collection, Review and Star Value. Let’s begin with Prabhas’ star value. After all, the movie is one of the biggest releases of Prabhas’ career so far. But is the movie worth your time?
Prabhas’ star value
‘Saaho’ is a box office smash and a Pan-Indian superstar. He is a star of the Baahubali franchise and is now making his Bollywood debut with Saaho. The film has received mixed reviews, with some describing it as a “disaster.” While it was made on a budget of around Rs 350 crore, the movie has earned close to Rs 130 crore on its first day. However, the film is doing exceptionally well in a few regions, and it is proving to be a blockbuster for Prabhas.
It is true that Prabhas’ star value depends on the success of the film, but it’s important to note that the rest of the cast is equally impressive. Besides Prabhas, Mandira Bedi, Jackie Shroff, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Chunky Pandey, and Mahesh Manjrekar all contribute to the film’s supporting cast. Tinnu Anand plays the villain.
Budget
The upcoming Indian action film Saaho is touted to be one of the biggest movies in the history of the Telugu film industry. Directed by Sujeeth, the film stars Prabhas, Shraddha Kapoor, and Neil Nitin Mukesh. But despite all the buzz surrounding the film, some of its cast and crew are still reluctant to open their wallets. In order to dispel any doubts about the movie’s budget, Prabhas has kindly revealed some of the details. This film was shot in Abu Dhabi, which is a costly location for an action movie.
The film stars Jackie Shroff as an antagonist, sporting salt and pepper hair, a beard, and kohl-rimmed eyes. He wears a grey suit and stares at the camera intensely. It is the first film featuring Jackie Shroff in Telugu, and features a number of actors who make their debuts in Hindi and Telugu cinema. Apart from Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor, the film also features Jackie Shroff, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Mandira Bedi, Chunk Panday, and Mahesh Manjrekar.
Box office collection
‘Saaho’ is a 2019 Indian action thriller film directed and written by Sujeeth. Partially shot in Tamil, the film stars Prabhas, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Mandira Bedi, and Jackie Shroff. The film also stars Chunky Panday, Arun Vijay, and Neil Nitin Mukesh. The film is being released in IMAX format in India.
The Hindi version of Saaho has already entered the Rs 100 cr club. Meanwhile, Mission Mangal, starring Akshay Kumar and Vidya Balan, is running successfully on multiple screens across the country and has crossed the 350 crore mark worldwide. However, Saaho’s global box office total will be a few crores below this figure. That’s a long way from a number one film, but the numbers are still impressive.
Prabhas’s first Bollywood outing is going well despite the gloomy reviews. Though the film was delayed from its original release date of 15th August, the delay has worked in Prabhas’ favor. Technical aspects were the only saving grace for Saaho. The film boasted top-notch art direction, camera work, stunts, and production values. Despite the poor reviews, Prabhas and the crew behind Saaho are happy with the box office response to the movie.
Review
Prabhas’ action thriller Saaho has been released in the country on the 15th of August, but its box office collection hasn’t met the high expectations.

Let’s take a closer look at the film and find out whether it was a hit or a flop.

As a result, the film is bound to have a strong opening weekend and an extended weekend, but its shortcomings will only make it a flop in the post-weekend.
