Publicized as India’s biggest action drama, “Saaho” has ended its first-week run in a mixed way.
The film was released in Telugu, Tamil, Hindi and Malayalam languages across the world in thousands of screens amidst huge expectations.
True to the hype, the film stunned all the trade pundits by raking in humungous collections everywhere on the first day and the collections remained the same during the first weekend.
However, its story of great glory at the box-office ended on its fifth day. It saw the first huge drop on Tuesday and never bounced back. Thus the first week had ended on a bad note.
While the film has already been declared a huge disaster in Tamil, the action drama has become one of the biggest hits this year in Bollywood as it raked in a nett of Rs nearly 120 Cr.
Now coming to the collections for the Telugu version in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, “Saaho” is looking at huge losses for the distributors.
Nizam and Vizag regions were released by Dil Raju on an advanced basis. Nizam is the only region that has better placed among all the territories. Remaining all areas tend to lose heavily.
The film’s first week collections are whopping Rs 74 Cr in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. But the movie is facing an uphill task now onwards.
It needs another Rs 50 Cr in AP and TS to reach the break-even stage which looks impossible at this moment.
