The film collected Rs 24 crore net the domestic box office in the second week, taking its 14-day total collection to Rs 140 crore net.

AA Films, which has distributed Saaho in north India, has shelled out Rs 70 crore on its theatrical rights. The movie is estimated to have earned Rs 85 crore for its distributors.
