Sharing the film's phenomenal performance at the box office, Taran Adarsh tweeted: "Saaho drops on Day 5... Mass circuits are contributing... Partial holiday on Day 4 helped score in double digits...

Take a look:
Saaho, a high-octane action film, opened in theatres last Friday to poor reviews. However, because of Prabhas' stardom, the film managed to earn over Rs. 24 crore on its release day alone. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee reviewed the film for NDTV and gave it 1.5 stars out of 5. He wrote: "The film's unrelentingly shrill pitch is aggravated by the ear-splitting background score and its never-ending action set pieces. Saaho has obviously been made by people who have no faith in tonal variations."
Other than Prabhas, Saaho also features Shraddha Kapoor, Chunky Panday, Mandira Bedi, Jackie Shroff, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Mahesh Manjrekar and Arun Vijay. The film marks Prabhas' first movie after Baahubali 2: The Conclusion and Shraddha Kapoor's debut in the Telugu film industry.
