Saiyaara storms box office: INR 85 Cr in 4 days, sets new debut record

KATHMANDU: The romantic drama Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri, is setting new benchmarks at the box office while winning hearts with its emotionally driven story and standout performances by newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda.

The film opened with massive anticipation and didn’t disappoint.

In its first three days, Saiyaara collected a staggering INR 83 crore net at the Indian box office — one of the highest opening weekends of 2025.

Monday’s collection added another INR 2.9 crore, taking the four-day total to INR 85.9 crore.

This performance has made Saiyaara the highest-grossing debut film for newcomers in recent years, surpassing the lifetime earnings of films like Student of the Year and Dhadak.

It now ranks as the 9th biggest Hindi film of the year and continues to grow strong with exceptional word-of-mouth.

Critics and audiences alike have praised the film’s emotional depth, soulful music, and the palpable chemistry between its leads.

While the storyline follows familiar romantic-drama tropes, it’s the raw performances and musical backdrop that have struck a chord with the youth audience in particular.

Despite facing piracy concerns on release day, the film’s theatrical momentum has not slowed.

High weekend occupancy, especially on Sunday, signals the movie’s continued success across multiplexes and single screens alike.
