Our verdict
Saaho is a big-budget action-thriller that leans heavily on Prabhas's star power and Sujeeth's stylish direction. The 171-minute runtime and convoluted plot may test your patience, but if you enjoy over-the-top action and a twisty chase for a 'black box', it delivers. It's not a flawless film, but it has enough spectacle to keep action fans engaged.
