From debut performances to emotional storytelling and a soul-stirring soundtrack, Saiyaara is being hailed as a cinematic experience that’s hard to forget — and audiences are clearly responding in kind.
Strong Monday Numbers Cement Box Office Success
Often, the first Monday after a film’s release signals whether it will have staying power or fade after a flashy weekend. In Saiyaara’s case, its Monday collection stood at an impressive Rs 22.50 crore, nearly matching its Friday earnings of Rs 21.5 crore.
This kind of performance is rare, especially for a film featuring debutants. The fact that Saiyaara didn’t just hold but surged on Monday reflects both strong word-of-mouth and minimal competition at the box office.
Saiyaara’s Day-Wise India Box Office Collection (Net):
Day 1 (Friday): Rs 21.50 crore
Day 2 (Saturday): Rs 26.00 crore
Day 3 (Sunday): Rs 35.75 crore
Day 4 (Monday): Rs 22.50 crore
Total (4 Days): Rs 105.75 crore
Breaking Records: Saiyaara Beats Kesari Chapter 2, Eyes Sikandar
With a four-day total of Rs 105.75 crore, Saiyaara has already overtaken Kesari Chapter 2 (Rs 92.53 crore), which featured Akshay Kumar and Ananya Panday. The next milestone in its path is Salman Khan’s action thriller Sikandar, which has a lifetime domestic collection of Rs 110.1 crore.
Given the current momentum and positive reception, Saiyaara is well on track to surpass that benchmark within the week, possibly as early as Tuesday or Wednesday.
The Star-Studded Backing: Praise from Bollywood's Finest
From Alia Bhatt to Ranveer Singh and Karan Johar, Saiyaara has found enthusiastic supporters within Bollywood itself. These endorsements have amplified the buzz around the film and brought more audiences to theatres.
