Critic Review
Saaho (2019)SAAHO is the story of a mysterious man on a mission. The foreign city of Waaji is ruled by gangsters and criminals and the biggest of them is Roy (Jackie Shroff). He cleverly manages to get the approval of an Indian minister, Ramaswamy (Tanikella Bharani) for a hydro project in India. He then reaches Mumbai and this is where he’s killed in a road accident. His son Vishwank (Arun Vijay) then takes over, which angers Devraj (Chunky Panday) as he wants to sit on Rao’s throne. Meanwhile the Mumbai crime branch is investigating the death of Roy and other related crimes. The case is handed over to Ashok Chakravarthy (Prabhas), a macho and extremely intelligent officer. He insists that Amritha Nair (Shraddha Kapoor) is also made a part of his team after he gets smitten by her photograph. While scanning the CCTV footage, they come across a mysterious person (Neil Nitin Mukesh) who they believe is a suspect. In the absence of evidence though, he can’t be arrested. Ashok however manages to speak to him and finds out that he’s hunting for a black box which can be used to access the wealth left by Roy in Waaji. Not just this chap but even Vishwank is trying to find the black box, which is hidden in Mumbai. He sends his associate Kalki (Mandira Bedi) who for some reason secures the box but instead of taking it to Waaji, she deposits it in a bank. When the mysterious person comes to get it, the cops who are already on his trial arrest him. However, the cops get a shock of their lives at this point when they realize they have a mole in their team. The mole runs away with the black box and this baffles not just the police force but also the gangsters of Waaji. What happens next forms the rest of the film..
A seamless narrative with a different end twist is what was needed. However, it is not as simple as said, and that is where the director’s talent lies..
Dreaming to continue his pan Indian image, Prabhas attempted a complete action entertainer Saaho. Poor direction, screenplay and below par VFX, the film turned out a substandard confusing product and failed to meet the expectations. Inevitably, Prabhas an.
Though one must appreciate the producers to spend such lavish money to give out-of-the-ordinary feel for action sequences, they should have taken care of duration, screenplay and a better direction.
All in all, the film is a huge let-down.
Bottom-li.
On the whole, Saaho surely does not live up to all the expectations and hype laid upon it. Prabhas leads from the front and the action part is very good. But all this only comes in the last half an hour. Rest of the film has an improper screenplay and con.
Saaho' unveils too many characters and two consequential twists. It is helped by breathtaking visuals in bits and pieces. However, at its core, it's a bloated film that fails to manifest its potential. The storyline holds promise but the story-telling .
Saaho` is an Amateurishly Directed Action Thriller with Top notch Production Values and Grandeur. The film has enough twists and high octane action to command a visit but on the whole it doesn`t leave the desired impact. `Saaho` is letdown by its confusin.
‘Saaho’ is a huge disappointment. This is a classic example of another attempt by the makers to use the star power, and his image than telling a story. Based on ‘Largo Winch’ with copied scenes from other foreign films, this turns into a mess tota.
director Sujeeth wasted the chance given by Prabhas.
And when it comes to Prabhas, he completely got confused while choosing the movie concept. People who want to see Hollywood range action in Tollywood can go & watch the movie. In two action scenes, P.
Saaho is a disappointment on many levels as it fails in every aspect. Not even the performances are worth remembering. Director Sujeeth clearly lacked the vision to make such a high budget action film and in the process he couldn't even write a proper scr.
