Saaho celebrates its five years of theatrical journey today. Starring Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor in the leading roles, the action-thriller enjoyed a lot of pre-release buzz. However, it turned out to be a losing affair at the Indian box office due to its high cast salary and massive budget. Scroll below as we revisit the business!
The Sujeeth directorial was filmed simultaneously in Hindi and Telugu. Directed by Sujeeth, the supporting cast featured Chunky Panday, Arun Vijay, Jackie Shroff, and Neil Nitin Mukesh. While star performances, VFX, and the high-octane action sequences received a big thumbs up from critics as well as audiences, the 2019 movie was majorly criticized for its direction and script.
Saaho Budget vs Box Office Collection
Prabhas starrer was made on an estimated budget of a whopping 350 crores. It earned 311 crores in its lifetime at the Indian box office, which is about 11% less than its cost. To gain the hit verdict, it needed to at least earn 700 crores, but what happened was quite the opposite. Thus, Saaho was declared a flop affair at the Indian box office.
