Saaho (Hindi) recorded another strong day on Saturday as it recorded collections of 24 crore nett. The film had a little drop which is practically nothing though real value would be a little more as the film did not manage to release in places on Friday. There is huge negativity for this film especially in the trade but the audiences have come out in numbers for two days. There was solid growth in Delhi NCR and East Punjab of 10% which is actually excellent for an action film and for a primarily Telugu film this phenomenal for the North.

The final collections of the first day also finished in the 25 crore nett range which put the first day all India business to the 100 crore gross mark. The second day has collected around 24.50 crore nett for a two day total of 49.75 crore nett which is excellent numbers two days. These numbers have come with 10-12% of the normal Hindi market missing and on a non holiday with normal ticket pricing and on top there is not much star value for the Hindi markets.


Then on top there is huge negativity so the results so far are far higher than can be expected in the Hindi markets and it may not go and be a huge HIT as the emotions are missing for the core Hindi markets but it does look like the film has a chance of doing decent business and its not a disaster for sure as far as the Hindi version goes. Even if we take a flat Sunday the film is easily going over 70 crore nett which is an excellent weekend and a restricted holiday on Monday to come. The collections of Saaho (hindi) till date are as follows. The all India collections will be updated later.

Friday - 25,25,00,000 apprx

Saturday - 24,50,00,000 apprx

TOTAL - 49,75,00,000 apprx

Kudos to Prabhas. He's indeed a pan india superstar.

I underestimated his stardom. I thought he'll be a one hit wonder with Bahubali franchise. Gotta give credit where its due.

PS. If i'm not wrong, I think after Rajinikanth & Kamal Hassan (which was decades ago in the 80s), Prabhas is the first pan india male superstar who have created an uproar in Boxoffice across India (including Bollywood).

Repeating my post here.

Trade is so quiet on twitter-they are talking about Chichore.

You would expect them to talk about WAR,if not Saaho.

Telugu film worldwide gross is so huge,it will continue to make films on massive budgets,which BW cannot match.

Content wise-according to Anupama,BW is not a patch on Malayalam and Tamil Industries.

So What is the future of BW..more Kick 2,BB3,sequels of David Dhawan films?

Biopics,sports films,patriotic films-where our superstars want to shine on reflected glory of real life achievers?

That's a wrong assessment. Worldwide Bollywood is indeed bigger if it performs to its optimum. Here also, the "overseas" is not the problem.


The issue is India itself where Bollywood has been underperforming for ages. Lack of seriously made mass/masala movies is the real problem. The kind of films Rajkumar Santoshi used to make in his prime. Or the Ghajini. The resurrection of Salman Khan is due to this but he is not a serious actor to give the right impact of a masala. Even Prabhas is not, but he has better directors at his disposal who use him well in that serious masala terrain. Salman's best is Bajarangi Bhaijaan by miles which also takes the comedy route. Since then he has been trying to replicate it but has been unsuccessful.


Ranveer has been accepted in Simmba. He seems to be, only hope from Bollywood who can take that serious masala route. He can also mix up Gully Boy kind of movies, a multiplex variant of masala. Unfortunately, there are no directors who can envision larger than life masala creatively and deliver for him.

Only the star power of Prabhas can bring people to hall to watch a disastrous movie like Saaho . He really is something at this moment....a formidable presence for many 😛
