Nobody expected that 'Saaho' would be a rip off of some or the other movie. The audience of 'Saaho' have been reminded of 'Agnyaathavaasi' (2018), the Pawan Kalyan disaster which itself was a copy of the French film 'Largo Winch'. If the characters of 'Agnyaathavaasi' lived in a world of corporate crime and farce, 'Saaho' is a mafia-police story. And this is exactly where we are reminded of the South Korean movie 'New World'. This one tells the story of an underworld don who dies in a car crash (much like in 'Saaho') and a police officer who sets up an undercover cop to infiltrate the gangster world. The twists in this film bear a resemblance to Saaho's twists.
Director Sujeeth borrowed ideas from these movies and it's clear as daylight. At least, Trivikram Srinivas tried to Pawan Kalyan-ise 'Largo Winch' by making the hero do mindless antics. Sujeeth should have made an effort to Indianize the story. He has failed to do that.
