Though it released on a non-holiday spot it has managed a decent opening however, according to critics it didn't meet expectations of the viewers. Also not so popular starcast has added to movie's slow start, maintaining a linear pace. Though Prabhas got overnight fame with Baahubali in the Hindi territory, his attempt to spear through the Hindi market didn't do much for the movie.
Rating the movie Two and a half star SpotboyE Editor, Vickey Lalwani wrote in his review, "As I trudge out from this Sujeeth's lactic acid- inducing 'bonanza', I wonder why Prabhas frequently kept saying in the second half 'It's showtime'. Well, I see a few early birds having rushed in for the next show and connect that dialogue for just the heck. Oh yes, I mean you really stop caring soon enough into the film- TOO MANY plots, TOO MANY villains, TOO MANY chases and NO substance."
Saaho released in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi starring Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor in lead roles on August 30.
