Yash Raj Films’ romantic drama Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri, is rewriting the rules of box office success! What began with 2225 screens in its first week has now surged to a whopping 3650 screens across India—an incredibly rare feat that showcases the film’s massive popularity and extraordinary word-of-mouth traction.

The film has officially crossed a staggering Rs 175.25 crore nett in just seven days, making it one of the most successful romantic films in Indian cinema history. With this blockbuster performance, debutant leads Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda have become overnight Gen Z icons and the new sweethearts of the nation.
