'Saaho' Review Live Updates

• IndiaGlitz, [Friday,August 30 2019]

• 'Saaho' movie just started. Run time is 172 minutes. Watch this space for exciting LIVE updates. [ 8:50 am ]
• As the titles roll, a brief history of Jackie Shroff, his mafia and feuds between gangsters is narrated. Tanikella Bharani is seen as a Union Minister. [ 8:55 am ]
• Prabhas enters as Ashok Chakravarthy, an undercover cop whose entire life is "off the record". The story unfolds in Mumbai. [ 9:12 am ]
• Arun Vijay is seen as Vishwak. The first fight has Prabhas showing different shades of his expressions. [ 9:16 am ]
• Prabhas acquires a lighter veined demeanour in the initial scenes. Vennela Kishore is Goswami, his sidekick. Shraddha Kapoor is a cop who is determined to solve a case on her own. [ 9:23 am ]
• Rom-com portions are on. Shraddha looks dashing in the 'Psycho Saiyaan' get-up. Prabhas is busy doing comedy but the situations are vacuous. [ 9:42 am ]
• Mandira Bedi is Kalki, who is expectedly on the villain's side. She is seen more often than most male villains. [ 9:50 am ]
• Neil Nithin Mukesh gets much space. So far, nothing spectacular about action scenes. Interval bang is the only hope. [ 10:15 am ]
• Interval [ 10:16 am ]
• The second half begins on an interesting note but the tempo is left in the lurch by a song. The over-made, undifferentiated villains are unexciting. [ 10:34 am ]
• There is a long gun battle which may not be pointless but looks pointless. Some of the lines are outdated. And they come in crucial scenes. [ 10:42 am ]
• Utterly chaotic story telling. This one wouldn't have worked after 'Mirchi'. And it has come after 'Baahubali'. You can imagine. [ 11:02 am ]
• The much-touted chase sequence is punctuated with vaguely narrated war room proceedings. Also, can someone please tell the bad guys to change their expressions? [ 11:14 am ]
• Prabhas becomes a silent man of few jaded lines in the second half. The desert fight is underwhelming. Yes, it's underwhelming. [ 11:30 am ]
• The climax has an interesting revelation in store. With clear-cut narration, this film would have been okayish. [ 11:41 am ]
• The End [ 11:45 am ]
