Newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda are making an impressive debut in Mohit Suri's romantic musical drama Saiyaara.
Since its July 18, 2025, release, the movie has won over hearts across the country and is still doing very well at the box office.
Ten days into its theatrical run, the movie is already making double figures and is quickly getting close to the coveted Rs 250 crore milestone in India.
According to early estimates from Sacnilk, Saiyaara has amassed a stunning Rs247.25 crore net collection in India. The film grossed approximately Rs 30 crore on its second Sunday, pushing its cumulative earnings tantalisingly close to Rs 250 crore. If this momentum continues, joining the Rs 300 crore club may not be far off.
On its second Saturday, the film recorded Rs 26.5 crore—a nearly 50% increase from its second Friday earnings of Rs 18 crore. Notably, Saturday’s total mirrors the collection from the film’s first Saturday, suggesting strong word-of-mouth and consistent public interest. Over just two days of the second weekend, Saiyaara raked in Rs 44.5 crore.
The second week began with a minor dip, with the film bringing in ₹18 crore—a drop of only 5.26%. Yet, the weekend surge quickly corrected this, as audiences returned in large numbers, especially over Saturday and Sunday. The Sunday figures, bolstered by early estimates, reflected an impressive ₹30 crore.
As per Sacnilk, audience turnout across the day remained solid:
Morning Shows: 23.21%
Afternoon Shows: 56.38%
Evening Shows: 63.46%
Night Shows: 42.99%
Directed with Suri’s trademark emotional depth and musical flair, Saiyaara follows the touching journey of Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday), a spirited young musician, and Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda), a contemplative writer. As their love story unfolds, the narrative explores themes of heartbreak, healing, and human connection.
Critics and audiences alike have praised the film for its engaging storytelling, powerful performances, and moving soundtrack. With strong box office performance and sustained public interest, Saiyaara is quickly becoming one of 2025’s most talked-about films.
