Looks like the audience is finally catching up with the reviews of Saaho! The trailer of the Prabhas-Shraddha Kapoor starrer did work wonders within the audience initially, however, the memes/reactions have resulted in the massive drop in box office collections. The film entered the Rs 100-crore club but did not rake in the expected amount on day five. On Tuesday, the Hindi version of the flick garnered only Rs 9.10 crore, taking the total number to Rs 102.38 crore. French Director Accuses Prabhas' Saaho of Being Copied from Largo Winch, Says 'If You Steal My Work, at Least Do It Properly?'.
Trade Analyst Taran Adarsh wrote, "#Saaho drops on Day 5... Mass circuits are contributing... Partial holiday on Day 4 helped score in double digits... Eyes ₹ 110 cr+ total in Week 1...

The festive weekend helped the makers collect a large figure at ticket windows. However, the lukewarm reviews have probably resulted in this dip in collections. Also, it is important to note that the film has collected Rs 330 crore worldwide in four days.
Sujeeth directed film is packed with heavy action scenes and an ensemble star cast. Mounted on a big budget, the film is a sort of comeback for the 'Baahubali' star especially after dedicating him five whopping years to SS Rajamouli's franchise. This film also marks as the debut in south films for Shraddha Kapoor. While Prabhas' last two films helped him become a pan-India crush, we wonder if he will need to buckle up with content-driven scripts post-Saaho.
