The multilingual thriller Saaho — starring Baahubali‘s Prabhas opposite Shraddha Kapoor — hits Chicago area theaters on Friday, August 30, with preview shows starting on Thursday, August 29 at 4:30 p.m. The action film was shot simultaneously in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil.
I’ve listed the various formats and what Chicago area theaters are carrying them below:
IMAX: AMC Niles 12 in Niles (Hindi), AMC South Barrington 24 in South Barrington (Telugu and Hindi), AMC Naperville 16 in Naperville (Hindi), and Cinemark at Seven Bridges in Woodridge (Telugu)
Hindi: Niles 12, South Barrington 24, MovieMax Cinemas in Niles, Regal Cantera in Warrenville, and AMC Woodridge 18 in Woodridge
Telugu: MovieMax, South Barrington 24, Seven Bridges, Century 12 Evanston in Evanston, Century Stratford Square in Bloomingdale, and Cinemark Tinseltown USA in North Aurora
Tamil: Century 12 Evanston, MovieMax, Tinseltown USA, and Seven Bridges
The movie is also showing at the Marcus Addison Cinema in Addison, but they haven’t listed the language. The employee I talked to at the theater didn’t know either. Saaho is coming to Netflix in November (probably, dependent upon regional streaming rights).
Mission Mangal carries over for a third week at MovieMax, South Barrington 24, Cantera, Naperville 16, Woodridge 18, AMC River East 21 in Chicago, and Regal Round Lake Beach in Round Lake Beach.
Batla House also holds over at MovieMax and the South Barrington 24.

- Evaru (Telugu) at MovieMax and Seven Bridges
