Saaho (Hindi) has had the fourth highest first week collections of the year behind Bharat, Kabir Singh and Mission Mangal. These are huge numbers for this film to be among the biggest Hindi films of this year and has actually beaten most of the star cast films.

These numbers have come without much star power. The hero Prabhas is the hero of Bahubali but just one film does not make a star that can pull these sort of numbers in the first week. The film does have emotions missing but the audiences have come for the big action in the theaters and obviously the film is not the disaster it was made out to be when released last week. If we go by territory numbers it has beaten Mission Mangal in all circuits barring Mumbai and West Bengal and has also beaten Kabir Singh and in Bharat in some circuits. If a South film with limited face value can do these numbers our films should be doing much higher numbers than they are doing at present. The top first weeks of 2019 are as follows.

1. Bharat - 1,56,71,00,000

2. Kabir Singh - 1,33,13,00,000

3. Mission Mangal - 1,16,68,00,000
