crore)
Saaho,
featuring
Prabhas,

'Darling'
prove
his
star
power.
The
Sujeeth-directed
action-thriller,
released
in
four
languages
(Hindi,
Telugu,
Tamil
and
Malayalam),
underperformed
in
the
Telugu
states
but
exceeded
expectations
'Up
North',
which
helped
it
win
the
'perception
battle'.
Its
closing
share
was
around
Rs
200
crore.

directed
by
Surender
Reddy,
grossed
close
to
Rs
240
crore,
giving

a
reason
to
rejoice.
The
period-drama,
fared
pretty
well
in
the
Telugu
states,
benefiting
from
the
Gandhi
Jayanti
break.
Sadly,
its
dubbed
versions
(Hindi,
Tamil,
Malayalam
and
Kannada)
sank
without
a
trace,
and
this
ruffled
a
few
feathers.
Its

at
around
Rs
143
crore.

audience.
The
Vamshi
Paidipally-helmed

India
Venkaiah
Naidu,
which
worked
in
its
favour.
The
film's
closing
share
