'Saaho' Box Office Report: Prabhas-Shraddha Kapoor starrer witnesses 80% drop on second weekendAuthor : AZIndia News Desk
Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor starrer Saaho ruled over the Box Office for a week since its release. The movie saw a solo release after it was pushed from Independence Day release, which was already taken up by Akshay Kumar, Vidya Balan, Sonakshi Sinha, Taapsee Pannu, Kirti Kulhari and Nithya Menon starrer Mission Mangal alongside John Abraham, Mrunal Thakur and Nora Fatehi's Batla House.
The solo release for Saaho, featuring Prabhas and Shraddha Kapoor in lead roles, helped the film to a great extent. The movie entered Rs. 100-crore-club within the first week of its release. It minted Rs. 115 crore by the time the week ended, but just as soon as the second week began, the movie saw a downfall.
Saaho earned Rs. 3.50 crore on its second Friday, followed by news of the movie being a complete washout in southern regions of India, which is where Prabhas' fan-following mostly is. Post that, the movie saw little growth over the weekend. It minted Rs. 4.50 crore on Saturday, and later went on to collect Rs. 6.25 crore on Sunday.
The total collections of Saaho (Hindi) on the second weekend thus was Rs. 14.25 crore, as compared to Rs. 79 crore net on the first weekend. The movie saw an 80% drop in the second weekend due to big drops in larger multiplexes. Despite that, in some circuits, the movie will be the second best-grossing film of 2019, beating Uri: The Surgical Strike, Bharat and Mission Mangal at the Box Office.
