Soul-Less Saaho Is Tedious And Tiresome!
Despite best intentions, Saaho is a tedious and tiresome watch. This (over) ambitious production is let down by soul-less storyline, convoluted screenplay, and never-ending action sequences. Young director Sujeeth has concocted a cocktail mixture of brain + brawn mounted lavishly on a dystopian setting with action sequences matching that of Hollywood super-hero movies and of course, mandatory love scenes and dream songs. The translation of the grand vision stumbles on execution right from the beginning and all the way till the end credit(more)

With a weak storyline, too many twists and juvenile execution, 'Saaho' ends up being a missed opportunity.
'Saaho' surely delivers well as an action extravaganza with an adrenaline pumping climax. The film's second half picks pace, but is marred by a weak narrative that requires constant suspension of disbelief. Also, the special effects and CGI often lack the finesse that a film mounted on such a grand scale deserved. (more)

Saaho's pioneering attempts in stunt sequences and graphics are praiseworthy. However, the story misses to naturally engage the audience
Saaho is well-directed with higher production values. Overall, Saaho is that kind of film where you wish you had a forward button, so that you can just watch the action set pieces and skip what's in-between.(more)

The Sum Total Of Prabhas, Shraddha Kapoor's Film Is Zilch
Saaho may, like so many other shrill, gory actioners of the recent past, end up make pots of money. But that will not take away from the fact that it is egregiously turgid. A Telugu superstar attempting to break into Hindi cinema should have chosen better(more)

Prabhas, Shraddha Kapoor's action drama aims high, but goes completely haywire
Saaho is and why he has taken that route, it is too little too late. The action set pieces are just a mere distraction. The drama is non-existent. All we get is a black box which we wish had never opened. Because the anticipation to watch Saaho was more worth the effort than the film itself. A big thumbs down.(more)

Prabhas' latest is a missed opportunity
Saaho was an opportunity to follow up on Baahubali, which had both scale and imagination, and blur the boundaries between regional and national cinema once again. Sadly, it ends up as a missed opportunity. The last scene hints at a sequel. If it happens, it will need a better story and screenplay.(more)

Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor film is a Rs 350-crore disaster
Saaho had promise. It had the cast. That's the disappointing part. Yet, the makers got so carried away with crafting action scenes and Prabhas's starry presence that they forgot about the story and character development midway. The ending of Saaho hints at a sequel. If that's the case, please pray that it is better written and more cohesive. How will we saaho that otherwise? Apologies for the bad joke but that's all you're left with at the end of the film.(more)

Things Are Not What They Seem� Bang. Boom. Pow. Yawn.
The climax fight looks surreal as if people from the past have arrived with weapons of the past (we are talking LOTR Dark Years kind of weapons here). Then some Baahubali-esque statements are made. In the end, though, as we have already discussed, it all amounts to nothing. A very lukewarm, yawn, 'reveal' is presented with a lot of smugness. Saaho is a bore.(more)

A Boring Action Thriller That Keeps Chasing Its Own Tail
The problem with Saaho, and so many obscenely designed movies like Saaho, is a disturbing lack of self-awareness. It isn't satisfied with being a slick and senseless action-spy entertainer. (more)

Extravagant, illogical and sluggish - a wasted opportunity!
The action sequences have been sleekly shot but at times just go on for way too long and there seems to be no logic behind most of them. Actually, logic seems to go for a toss, in most places. The songs are an entirely different story altogether. Though a couple of the songs are good, they are too many and very poorly placed in the movie's proceedings. The BGM is good but seems to be overpowering in quite a few places, especially the action sequences. The editing could have been far better and the overall length of the movie needs to be reduced by quite a lot. At a run-time of 2 hours and 51 minutes, Saaho is definitely sluggish.(more)

An unbearable watch!
Saaho is an unbearable watch, and even Prabhas fans are sure to be sorely disappointed. Though released with plenty of hype and hope, it falls short of all expectations. This is easily one of the worst movies in recent times and sure to be an irredeemable loss to the makers, cast and crew of the film.(more)
