Prabhas’s ‘Saaho’ beats Rajinikanth’s ‘2.0’
Director Sujeeth’s ‘Saaho’ seems to be on a huge run at the domestic box-office as the film streamed through several films to make its spot in the highest first weekend collections. The action thriller managed to beat Rajinikanth‘s ‘2.0’ but failed to break the first-weekend record of ‘Baahubali’.
Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor starrer managed to draw attention of the audience to the theatres in spite of failing to impress the critics. The movie received a lot of mixed reviews due to the lack of a gripping story line which was blamed to be the reason for its failure.
In spite of bad reviews, ‘Saaho’ has managed to battle the odds and make a mark at the box-office. With Rs 79 crores in its first weekend, Prabhas’ film has managed to overcome Rajinikanth’s ‘2.0’ which had collected Rs 61.29 crore in its first weekend. But S. S. Rajamouli’s ‘Baahubali 2: The Conclusion’ still manages to top the list with a staggering figure of Rs 127.28 crore.
On the other hand, ‘Saaho’ has even managed to cross the first weekend collections of Shahid Kapoor starrer ‘Kabir Singh which had collected Rs 70.67 crore. Grabbing the second position putting behind Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif’s ‘Bharat’ which had raked in Rs 90.47 crore, ‘Saaho’ has succeeded in proving its mantle.
