The film witnessed a significant jump in collections on Sunday, showing strong word-of-mouth traction and excellent audience response, especially in urban multiplexes and tier-2 cities. With 71.18% Hindi occupancy on Sunday, Saiyaara is running to housefull shows across India.
Second-Biggest Day 3 of the Year for Bollywood
Saiyaara has recorded the second-highest Day 3 collection for a Bollywood film in 2025, trailing only behind Vicky Kaushal’s Chaava, which netted Rs 117 crore by its third day. This puts the romantic drama in league with some of the year’s biggest commercial successes, especially impressive for a film led by newcomers.
About the Film: A Passionate Story Brought to Life
Directed by the maestro of intense romances, Mohit Suri, Saiyaara is a deeply emotional love story featuring a fresh pairing. Ahaan Panday, making his big-screen debut, plays the male lead opposite Aneet Padda, best known for her roles in the web series Big Girls Don’t Cry and the Kajol-starrer Salaam Venky.
The film explores themes of young love, longing, and sacrifice—classic Suri territory, known from his previous hits like Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villain.
Director Mohit Suri Praises Newcomers
Suri has spoken highly of his lead actors’ commitment to their roles, calling them “film buffs before they were actors.”
“What I like the most about these two was that they were film buffs before they became actors—not just fashion icons or influencers. That passion shows on screen,” Suri said.
He added that both Ahaan and Aneet prepared for their roles by immersing themselves in his previous work to understand his storytelling style.
“Something of the filmmaker always bleeds into a film. It’s important to know who you’re working w
ith, what kind of world you’re stepping into,” he shared.
YRF’s Winning Formula: Fresh Talent and Strong Narratives
With Saiyaara, Yash Raj Films has once again proven that content-driven storytelling combined with new talent can deliver massive box office returns. The film’s success is also a nod to the production house’s long-standing ability to spot and nurture rising stars.
What’s Next for Saiyaara?
Given the strong box office momentum, the film is expected to cross the Rs 100 crore mark within its first week. If current trends hold, it may emerge as one of the top-grossing romantic dramas of the year.
Trade analysts are now closely watching its weekday performance, which will be a key indicator of whether Saiyaara has the legs to sustain long-term success.
Final Thoughts: A Blockbuster in the Making
With glowing audience reviews, packed theatres, and rising word-of-mouth, Saiyaara is proving to be much more than just a star launchpad. It’s a breakout box office hit that reaffirms audiences’ appetite for emotional storytelling and fresh faces.
As Saiyaara continues to soar, both Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda are already being hailed as promising newcomers to watch—and Mohit Suri is back in the spotlight for delivering yet another emotionally charged success.
