Review of Saaho (2019) by Tejasnair — 03 Jul 2020
I don't know what is worse in my viewing take-away from Saaho (given name; Succeed): an advertisement for Astral pipes, a scene where Prabhas' character reads David Baldacci, or the uncomfortable air of Prabhas as a slick action hero.
Whatever it may be, watching this 3-hour-long torture nearly gave me a headache, but that was not because of the convoluted plot or the mind-numbing gaudy CGI or the big budget stunt sequences or the playing of a lounge track in the middle of a bullet war, but this try at sluggard show-off by Prabhas that is present throughout.
It is extremely annoying to watch even from the so-called hero. It turned me off big time and I am now also convinced that he cannot act and that [link=tt2631186] was a fluke (or Rajamouli is a better director).
It is clear that Saaho has been written by an unimaginative person who watched a lot of recent popular movies and TV shows and ended up just vomiting. The difference: it cost his producers 350 crore rupees.
TN.
