Day 1 of 'Saaho' was one of the best days, commercially speaking, in the history of Indian cinema. Notwithstanding the poor ratings by web reviews, the action did extremely well in Telugu and Hindi on the back of advance bookings.
Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, put together, mopped up Rs 36 Cr (share), which is the biggest non-'Baahubali-2' record.
Coming to the Telugu version, Nellore gave a huge share of about Rs 2.57 Cr, which is bigger than Baahubali-2's Rs 2.08 Cr. Nizam gave Rs 9.40 Cr, while Ceded gave Rs 4.46 Cr.
In Guntur, it earned a share of Rs 4.70 Cr, falling behind only 'Baahubali-2' (Rs 6.18 Cr). In Krishna, the Sujeeth directorial mopped up Rs 2.51 Cr (share), beating 'Agnyaathavaasi' and falling behind 'Baahubali-2' (Rs 2.83 Cr).
In the US, Friday saw half a million dollar (gross collections).
In Hindi, the Prabhas film netted about Rs 25 Cr, which is higher than even the Rajinikanth-Akshay Kumar starrer '2.0'. This happened despite unsteady initial shows.
