Radar of the movie lovers in the country is on Young Rebel Star Prabhas' upcoming entertainer Saaho which is slated for a grand release on Aug 30. Expectations are increasing as it is Prabhas' first after the sensation he created with Rajamouli's magnum opus Baahubali across the world.
In the meantime speculation is on as to what is Saaho is gunning for on the first day and in its full run. Trade analysts opine Saaho may mint around Rs 125 crores share in just the Telugu version for its full run.
Since the film's Hindi version is releasing across the country in record number of screens, in the final run, the makers are expecting around Rs 500 crs. Many are wondering whether this is really possible.
Some may cite the example of Baahubali and how it broke all the records. Baahubali is an exception because it revolved around a fantasy. Movie lovers got interested as it revolved around folklore and featured kings and had extravagant graphics.
But Saaho case is extremely different and though the makers may spend huge money, it is just a commercial action entertainer. One cannot expect the Sujeeth directorial to equal or go past Baahubali records. Everything depends on the first day talk and if the talk is unanimous hit and there is no stopping for Saaho.
