Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor's 'Saaho' has been making headlines ever since its release. The mega action thriller promised to raise the bar for cinema a notch higher after the trailer released but it has failed to do so. Social media has been abuzz with negative reviews of 'Saaho', with netizens pegging it as 'unbearable', 'boring', and 'disappointing'.
SAAHO BOX OFFICE:
Although, the film has crossed Rs 100 crores at the box office, given the fact that it has been made on a budget of Rs 350 crores, 'Saaho' has not been able to reap all the benefits. Trade and business analysts have said that the main reason is due to the poor reviews on the internet and the word of mouth not working in favor. On the fifth day of its release, the film minted a total of 9 crores.

SALLE ACCUSES MAKERS:
Salle, who was being tagged by a lot of users on microblogging site Twitter, seemed upset by the team of "Saaho" and advised Telugu directors to at least make the copy "properly". "It seems this second "freemake" of Largo Winch is as bad as the first one. So please Telugu directors, if you steal my work, at least do it properly?" Salle tweeted. This tweet came after a user on August 30, tweeted: "Buddy another day and another free make of your Largo Winch movie in India #Saaho. You are the real Guruji." Salle immediately responded and said: "I think I have a promising career in India."
