In Saaho, more care and money seem to have been invested in the action, the songs and the wardrobe than the writing. He has great screen presence but even those mighty shoulders need a sliver of a story to lean on. The actor combines a gentle manner with an outsized physicality. It’s 50 shades of Prabhas - something for every fan.

There’s also Prabhas as an avenging angel, as a good son, and as a do-gooder. It’s macho posturing taken to the next level. Just in case you don’t get it, there’s even a song called ‘Bad Boy’ in which Prabhasstands on a tank while dozens of scantily clad women and Jacqueline Fernandezshimmy around him.įor no reason at all, At the end of the song, the tank crushes two cars for no reason at all, while Prabhas walks by, smoking a cigar, in slow motion. So writer-director Sujeeth decided to throw everything into the mix - we get Prabhasas the charming, protective lover but also as the dangerous bad boy.

Amarendra and Mahendra Baahubali are a tough act to follow. Prabhas returns to screen two years after the blockbuster Baahubali franchise. Saaho is essentially a string of expensive set-pieces strung together to showcase the leading man. At least twice in the film, characters ask– what’s going on? Honestly, I couldn’t tell you. But the plot is both bizarrely complicated and incredibly silly. The film begins with a voice-over that establishes what is going on and who is who. This is a labyrinthine story with double identities, double-crosses, a secret black box, two lakh crore rupees that are missing, cops and criminals who aren’t what they seem and a fictional and a fictional city called Waaji. During promotional interviews, Prabhas kept describing it as a screenplay film, which I think meant that there are lots of twists and turns. The kindest thing you can say about Saahois that it’s a full-blown theatre of the absurd. Saaho full movie download in Hindi 480p Filmyzilla
