Plot

Narantak Roy is the leader of Roy Group, a corporate company and the world's biggest crime syndicate that governs Waaji City, a fictional metropolitan area. While visiting Mumbai for a business deal, Roy gets killed in a deliberate car crash. Devaraj, the son of Roy's friend/mentor and former syndicate leader Pruthviraj, plans to declare himself as the next leader of Waaji City. Ibrahim, Roy's most-trusted secretary, tells Kalki, the legal advisor of Roy Group, that Roy's family has been dead for decades and that he had been hiding his son Vishwank Roy – for 25 years. Vishwank succeeds Roy as the city's leader and sets out to discover the perpetrators behind Roy's death.

In Mumbai, a masterthief steals (US$284 million) by fooling random, unrelated people to steal the money. A nationwide search ensues and the police department assigns Ashok Chakravarthy, a covert cop, to solve the case. Ashok leads the search with the help of Crime Branch officers Amritha Nair, Goswami and David. They uncover a thief Jai, whom Ashok meets in a bar. Ashok discloses to Jai about a black box – the key to the locker in Waaji City holding 2000 billion (US$28.4 billion) of all of the board members of Roy Group. On Vishwank's orders, Kalki travels to Mumbai, retrieves the black box, and deposits it in a bank.

After an intense chase to catch Jai stealing the box, Amritha, Ashok and David – the team's cyber-intelligence officer – confront Jai. However, it is revealed that Jai is the real Ashok Chakravarthy and the lead officer, who had been with the team is actually the masterthief Saaho. Saaho escapes with his partner David, who helped him disguise his identity during the operation. It is revealed that Devaraj actually killed Roy to usurp control of the city. Amritha works as a double agent and tracks Saaho, where she pretends to be in love with him and demands a share of the stolen money. However, Amritha falls in love with Saaho and betrays Ashok.

Devaraj shoots and kidnaps Amritha, forcing Saaho to provide the black box to Devaraj. However, Saaho deceives Devaraj and gives the black box to Vishwank in return for Amritha's safety, which Vishwank reveals to Devaraj. Saaho destroys Devaraj's building and steals the money in Devaraj's lockers. Ashok and the police chase Saaho with a sniper in a helicopter and a person in a jet pack. Saaho overpowers his opponents. Amritha, also in the helicopter, tries to save Saaho by distracting the sniper, who pushes her into danger. Saaho saves Amritha with a jetpack, but gets arrested. Kalki, revealed to be on Devaraj's side, opens the vault with Vishwank's fingerprint and the black box. However, Kalki, instead of money, finds pictures of Roy and his son. Saaho battles and defeats Devaraj's goons in Karana village, which Roy had previously protected.

After Devaraj arrives, Saaho reveals himself as Siddhanth Nandan Saaho, Roy's biological son. Roy had lovingly kept him hidden from the world in the hopes of Saaho taking over his reins. Kalki dies after seeing the portrait of Roy and Saaho, while Saaho kills Devaraj by decapitating him. Meanwhile, Ashok and Amritha are shocked to learn about Saaho's real identity from Vishwank and Alex Fernandes, a criminal saved by Saaho and seen by Amritha in the bar where Saaho first encountered Ashok. Ibrahim reveals to the board members of Roy Group that Vishwank is his own son Iqbal. Iqbal was brought in to protect Roy's throne until Saaho can return to claim the throne and kill his father's killers. Iqbal proceeds to kill Prince before Saaho arrives to the meeting. Ibrahim reveals Saaho's real identity to the board members and Saaho becomes the ruler of Waaji City and CEO of Roy Group.

A few months later, Saaho locates Amritha in Innsbruck, Austria, and the two share a kiss. A sniper aims at Saaho to take him out, but Saaho opens his eyes, aware of the danger from the distance.

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film reported an approval rating of based on reviews with an average rating of .

123telugu gave 2.75/5 stars and wrote "Saaho surely does not live up to all the expectations and hype laid upon it. Sujeeth’s inexperience takes the film down in many areas."[62] Ronak Kotecha of The Times of India gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Saaho is an ambitious project which relies on technical aspects and hero's larger than life image, and not on its script."[63]

Bollywood Hungama gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Saaho suffers from a lackadaisical script and a vacuous screenplay."[64] Behindwoods gave 2.5/5 stars and wrote "Saaho's pioneering attempts in stunt sequences and graphics are praiseworthy. However, the story misses to naturally engage the audience."[65]

Monika Rawal Kukreja of Hindustan Times gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Saaho is a classic action thriller that could have been made on par with Hollywood, but is reduced to an average story sprinkled with elements of romance, suspense and revenge. Watch it for the last 30 minutes and don’t expect pieces of puzzles to fall into place and make up a believable story, because there isn’t any."[66] Rahul Devulapalli of The Week gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Even with a towering Prabhas armed with a ripped body and fancy guns, Saaho fails to hit the target."[67]

Dhaval Mehta of DNA gave 2/5 stars and wrote "Saaho is a rank disappointment and an opportunity missed. Watch it for Prabhas’s patches of brilliance but you will need loads of patience!."[68] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave 1.5/5 stars and wrote "Everything a thriller needs 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."[69]

Rajeev Masand of News18 gave the film one-and-a-half stars out of five; he praised Prabhas for his "enormous presence and unmistakable sincerity" but said the film has "all the depth and emotional wallop of a video game".[70]

Lakshana N Palat from India Today gave Saaho one-and-a-half stars out of five, calling it "a 350-crore disaster", and a "laboured and exhausting watch". She has added; "the saving grace of Saaho are the visuals and the high-octane action sequences", and that "the makers got so carried away with crafting action scenes and Prabhas' starry presence that they forgot about the story and character development midway".[71]

Sangeetha Devi Dundoo of The Hindu wrote "Riding on a staid and predictable plot, this ambitious film ends up as a disappointment."[72] Anupama Chopra of Film Companion wrote "Saaho is essentially a string of expensive set-pieces strung together to showcase the leading man. A lot of hard work has gone into creating the action and the extravagant sets. The budget is a reported 350 crores but for the viewer there's little bang for the buck."[73]
