Plot
Narantak Roy is a powerful, influential businessman who leads Roy Group, a corporate company that governs Waaji City, a fictional metropolitan city. When Roy visits Mumbai for a business deal, he is killed in a deliberate car crash. Devaraj, the son of Roy's friend, business partner and mentor Pruthviraj, plans to declare himself the next leader of Waaji City. Ibrahim, Roy's most-trusted secretary, tells Kalki, the legal advisor of Roy Group, Roy's family has been dead for decades and that he had been hiding a secret – that he had a son named Vishwank Roy – for 25 years. Vishwank foils Devaraj's plans by succeeding his father as the city's leader. Vishwank is determined to discover the identity of his father's murderer.
In Mumbai, a master thief steals ₹2,000 crore ($284 million)[b] with ease. The culprit proves difficult to identify because he used random, unrelated people who were unaware they were assisting in a robbery, to steal the money; and a nationwide search ensues. Ashok Chakravarthy, a secret agent, is assigned to lead the search with the help of crime branch officers Amritha Nair, Goswami, and David. They uncover a thief named Jai, whom Ashok meets in a bar. Ashok discloses to Jai the information on a black box – the key to the locker in Waaji City holding ₹2,000 crore ($284 million) of all of the board members of Roy Group. On Vishwank's orders, Kalki travels to Mumbai, retrieves the black box, and deposits it in a bank.
During these incidents, Amritha and Ashok fall in love. After an intense chase to catch Jai stealing the box, Amritha, Ashok and David – the team's cyber-intelligence officer – confront Jai. However, It is revealed Jai is really the covert operative Ashok Chakravarthy. The lead officer who had been with the team is actually Saaho, who is the thief. Saaho escapes with his partner David, who helped him disguise his identity during the operation. It is revealed Devaraj killed Roy to usurp control of the city. Amritha, working as a double agent, tracks Saaho and pretends to be in love with him, and wants a share in the stolen money. Amritha falls in love with Saaho and she betrays Ashok.
Devaraj shoots and kidnaps Amritha, forcing Saaho to give Devaraj the black box. Saaho, however, deceives Devaraj and gives the black box to Vishwank in return for Amritha's safety. Saaho destroys Devaraj's building and steals the money in Devaraj's lockers. Ashok and the police chase Saaho with a sniper in a helicopter and a person in a jet pack. Saaho overpowers his opponent. Amritha, also in the helicopter, tries to save Saaho by distracting the sniper, who pushes her into danger. Saaho saves Amritha with a jet pack but is arrested. Kalki is revealed to be on Devaraj's side; she opens the vault with Vishwank's fingerprint and the black box; instead of money, she finds pictures of Roy and his son. Saaho battles and defeats Devaraj's goons in Karana village, which Roy had previously protected.
Devaraj arrives. Saaho declares himself to be Siddhanth Nandan Saaho, Roy's real son who disguised himself to seek vengeance for Roy's death. Kalki is shocked after seeing the portrait of Roy and Saaho. Saaho kills Devaraj, Shinde, Prince and Kalki. Ibrahim reveals to Roy Group board members Vishwank was not Roy's son but Ibrahim's son; his real name is Iqbal and he was brought in to save Roy's throne until Saaho returns to claim it and kill his father's murderers. Ibrahim reveals Saaho's real identity to the board members, and Saaho becomes the ruler of Waaji City and CEO of Roy Group. Months later, Saaho locates Amritha in Innsbruck, Austria, and proposes to her, which she accepts. An assassin aims at Saaho to kill him. Saaho opens his eyes, aware of the danger in the distance.

Reception
Box office
Saaho made ₹130 crore ($18.4 million) on its opening day worldwide, the second-highest ever for an Indian film, exceeding that of 2.0's ₹117 crore ($16.6 million) but lower than Prabhas's previous film Baahubali 2: The Conclusion ₹212 crore, which holds the record for the highest-opening Indian film.[56][57] After the second day, the worldwide collection was ₹220 crore.[58] Saaho made ₹294 crore ($41.7 million) gross on its opening weekend worldwide[59] and ₹370 crore ($52.5 million) in its first week.[60] On day 10 Saaho exceeded ₹400 crore ($56.8 million).[60] Its net revenue in India was ₹302 crore ($42.9 million) by the end of its theatrical run.[61]Although, some sources mentioned that the worldwide box office collection of Saaho was over ₹600 Crores.[62]
Critical response
The film received mixed to negative reviews from critics, who criticised the direction, writing and length, though the cast performances, visual effects, cinematography and action sequences received praise.[10] The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 8% based on 12 reviews with an average rating of 3.8/10.[11]
Anupama Chopra Film Companion said: "I know that a popcorn entertainer like Saaho isn't driven by logic or coherence. And I would have made my peace with it if the film delivered a good time. My biggest complaint is that it's a crashing bore. A lot of hard work has gone into creating the action and the extravagant sets. The budget is a reported 350 crores but for the viewer there's little bang for the buck."[63]
Lakshana N Palat from India Today gave Saaho one-and-a-half stars out of five, calling it "a 350-crore disaster", and a "laboured and exhausting watch". She has added; "the saving grace of Saaho are the visuals and the high-octane action sequences", and that "the makers got so carried away with crafting action scenes and Prabhas' starry presence that they forgot about the story and character development midway".[64]
Writing for The Times of India for the Tamil version, Thinkal Menon rated Saaho two-and-a-half stars out of five, praising the technical aspects but criticising the script. Menon stated the film was "largely dubbed in Tamil, leading to lip-sync issues".[65] Taran Adarsh gave the film one-and-a-half stars out of five, commenting on its "weak story, confusing screenplay and amateur direction".[66]
A reviewer for Bollywood Hungama gave Saaho two-and-a-half out of five, saying it "suffers from a lackadaisical script and a vacuous screenplay".[67] Rajeev Masand of News18 gave the film one-and-a-half stars out of five; he praised Prabhas for his "enormous presence and unmistakable sincerity" but said the film has "all the depth and emotional wallop of a video game".[68]
Sequel
Despite the film's failure, in 2023 a sequel was confirmed to be in development stage and is titled as Saaho: Let Begins The Game Again. It was reported that the movie will be a direct continuation of Saaho and if the sequel become successful then the film might be converted into a shared universe.[69]
