8:50 am : 'Saaho' movie just started. Run time is 172 minutes. Watch this space for exciting LIVE updates.
8:55 am : As the titles roll, a brief history of Jackie Shroff, his mafia and feuds between gangsters is narrated. Tanikella Bharani is seen as a Union Minister.
9:12 am : Prabhas enters as Ashok Chakravarthy, an undercover cop whose entire life is "off the record". The story unfolds in Mumbai.
9:16 am : Arun Vijay is seen as Vishwak. The first fight has Prabhas showing different shades of his expressions.
9:23 am : Prabhas acquires a lighter veined demeanour in the initial scenes. Vennela Kishore is Goswami, his sidekick. Shraddha Kapoor is a cop who is determined to solve a case on her own.
9:42 am : Rom-com portions are on. Shraddha looks dashing in the 'Psycho Saiyaan' get-up. Prabhas is busy doing comedy but the situations are vacuous.
9:50 am : Mandira Bedi is Kalki, who is expectedly on the villain's side. She is seen more often than most male villains.
10:15 am : Neil Nithin Mukesh gets much space. So far, nothing spectacular about action scenes. Interval bang is the only hope.
10:16 am : Interval
10:34 am : The second half begins on an interesting note but the tempo is left in the lurch by a song. The over-made, undifferentiated villains are unexciting.
10:42 am : There is a long gun battle which may not be pointless but looks pointless. Some of the lines are outdated. And they come in crucial scenes.
11:02 am : Utterly chaotic story telling. This one wouldn't have worked after 'Mirchi'. And it has come after 'Baahubali'. You can imagine.
11:14 am : The much-touted chase sequence is punctuated with vaguely narrated war room proceedings. Also, can someone please tell the bad guys to change their expressions?
11:30 am : Prabhas becomes a silent man of few jaded lines in the second half. The desert fight is underwhelming. Yes, it's underwhelming.
11:41 am : The climax has an interesting revelation in store. With clear-cut narration, this film would have been okayish.
11:45 am : The End
