Fans of Hindi, Tamil and Telugu cinema are in for a real treat today because actor Prabhas (of Baahubali fame) is back on the silver screens with his action-thriller ‘Saaho’. The film also stars Shraddha Kapoor, is directed by Sujeeth and produced by Vamsi-Pramod on a massive budget of 350 crores!
Ever since the trailer dropped, everyone has been eagerly waiting to see the magic created by International stunt choreographer Kenny Bates and Hollywood technicians that have previously worked on Transformers and Game of Thrones. And finally, the verdict is in. Here is what the janta has to say.
The Twitterati has given a big thumbs up to the insane bike chase sequence and Prabhas’ screen presence. There is an unpredictable twist right before the interval that has everyone awestruck.
Brilliant movie with powerful performances.
Prabhas on Fire 🔥🔥
Shraddha looks too good.
That pre interval twist will shock you for sure.
Don’t miss this one, best of the year for me. #Saaho #Saahoreview

Intermission.
Excellent. What else to say? Mind blowing first half. Most engaging first half ever in Indian cinema history. Action sequences are astonishing.
Bollywood isn't India’s top film industry anymore. #Tollywood is here now.
Can't wait for second half. 👍

Overall Rating – Hollywood Level Vfx
Star Rating – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ pic.twitter.com/lCMkxcyT9o— Tiger Rizwan (@beingmaaz1524) August 30, 2019
However, not everyone is impressed with the plot of this mega-budget film. Critics are slamming the makers for focusing too much on action and neglecting the script in the process. The romantic scenes between the lead pair have been declared overly sappy and corny.
#Saaho interval – Few stunts are the saving grace so far. Since it is a high budget movie – From heroes looks to motta maadi to bullet shots to car exhaust – They have VFXed everything. Romantic scenes – Sugar patients should watch with tablet in hand.

#saaho is so boring n senseless. Hope the 2nd half is better🙄#SaahoReview

Fans r disappointed, still want to keep the legacy so praising the movie. Otherwise, Wastage of big budget movie. Prabhas looking tired and direction is poor as script 2.5 Rating for action scene only #Saahoreview
— Ajit Rai (@RaiAjit) August 30, 2019
Only thing worked for me is the sound design and bgm for the action sequences in second half….👌👌 #Saaho #Saahoreview
— Dheeraj (@ITSDJHERE) August 30, 2019
Story is predictable while going through the plot points and action sequences are quite ok…but not like "oh my godddddd" #Saaho #Saahoreview

#Saaho 1st Half
Started with average pace and screenplay but ended up with Super Twist towards the Interval…#Prabhas has done his job well… But his hairstyle 🤦🏻♂️
Thalaivii @ShraddhaKapoor 🥰🥰🥰😘
Looking forward for a Good 2nd Half….#SaahoReview
