Saaho

The movie is crisply, sometimes stylishly shot, but it's too muddled to be slick and too lacking in charm to establish any emotional stakes.

Saaho felt like an amateur movie with a pointless skyscraping budget, a typical storyline and an intolerably exaggerated and unclear screenplay.

Recent studies say a human being's attention span is now less than a goldfish's. But Sujeeth's Saaho challenges that theory by bringing it down even lower in its senseless pursuit of God-knows-what.

Appallingly atrocious.

Spectacle, that's the key word here. With one of the biggest budgets in Indian cinema history, everything is blown up in Saaho, sometimes literally.

Saaho promised to be a spectacle, and it exceeds expectation.

[A]n ostentatiously nonsensical film, which cannot be salvaged even if the makers are willing to spend another Rs 100 crore.

At 179 minutes, "Saaho" drags on and on.

[A]n over-indulgent, over-stylised film in which looks have been prioritised over substance, swagger over script.

It's not like anyone was expecting or demanding Saaho to be intelligent. But the fact that the film isn't even tolerable, is indefensible. The least Saaho could have done is not thwarted its own potential.
