Akshay Kumar-Vidya Balan starrer 'Mission Mangal' beats Prabhas-Shraddha's 'Saaho' in top first week Box Office of 2019Author : AZIndia News Desk
Prabhas-Shraddha Kapoor starrer Saaho released a week after Mission Mangal featuring Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Sonakshi Sinha, Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari, Nithya Menon and Sharman Joshi in pivotal roles, was already raging at the Box Office.
Saaho, being a film which has release in four languages - Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam, has not been able to collect as many collections as it probably could have if it was a Hindi release. The movie received some boost on Monday owing to Ganesh Chaturthi, but then saw a drop.
Over the week, Prabhas-Shraddha Kapoor starrer Saaho minted Rs. 9 crore on Tuesday, followed by Rs. 6.75 crore on Wednesday and Rs. 6.50 crore on Thursday. The film earned Rs. 36 crore net from Mumbai, Rs. 27 crore net from Delhi/UP, and Rs. 12 crore from East Punjab.
In totality, Saaho has minted Rs. 115 crore net. However, despite the star power of Prabhas, Saaho failed to beat the first week collections of Akshay Kumar-Vidya Balan starrer Mission Mangal. By the end of week one, Mission Mangal has earned Rs. 116.68 crore. Not only Akshay-Vidya's film, Saaho failed to beat Shahid Kapoor-Kiara Advani starrer Kabir Singh and even Salman Khan-Katrina Kaif-Sunil Grover's film Bharat collection.
