Screenplay is the KING. @sujeethsign hats off to your writing skills. #Prabhas you have made a right decision of trusting this young director. Thanks. Now cinema is for intellectuals. #Saaho"

Thank you for all your unconditional love for Saaho: Prabhas

Prabhas wrote on Instagram, "To my beloved fans and audience, Thank you for all your unconditional love for #Saaho. This film is what it is because of the sheer appreciation and incredible response you all have given. Lots of love to you all! @shraddhakapoor @sujeethsign @neilnitinmukesh @apnabhidu @chunkypanday @arunvijayno1 @mandirabedi @maheshmanjrekar @sharma_murli @vennelakish @uvcreationsofficial @bhushankumar @tseries.official @officialsaahomovie @quarter.land"

While the audience showered love on Saaho, the film did not receive an overwhelming response from critics.

The Indian Express film critic Shubhra Gupta gave the film a rating of 1.5 stars. Shubhra wrote, "Everything a thriller need is in here, and you settle down, fully prepared for a non-stop, breathless, firing-from-all-cylinders ride. But Saaho turns out to be a damp squib."

She added, “Prabhas is perfectly suited to throwing sharp things at tattooed guys built like trucks, and mowing down a phalanx of heavies without expending too much effort. And he does have an ability to underplay and be droll. What’s also nice is that his distinctly South Indian accent is not hidden in the dubbed version: our heroes are finally pan-Indian. When he is being easy and light are the only watchable moments in this mammoth enterprise. And also when Chunky Panday gets off a few good lines, and delivers them with the ease of a veteran.”
