Saiyaara box office collection day 12: Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda starrer becomes India's biggest love story, crosses Rs...
Directed by Mohit Suri and led by newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, Saiyaara has done what few love stories ever have: earned over Rs 400 crore globally. With a domestic gross of Rs 318 crore and a net earning of Rs 260.25 crore in India alone, it's more than just a commercial success; it's a phenomenon. Saiyaara broke multiple records In just 11 days, Saiyaara overtook Kabir Singh to become the highest-grossing romantic film in Indian cinema. The Shahid Kapoor-Kiara Advani film had earlier set the bar with Rs 387 crore worldwide, but Saiyaara crossed that in nearly a quarter of the time. Nope. It had already outperformed Kabir Singh during its opening weekend with Rs 83.25 crore net in India, compared to Kabir Singh's Rs 70 crore. That's not all, Saiyaara also recorded the biggest ever opening for a film headlined by debut actors. How strong was the film's release day? Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's launch vehicle opened to Rs 21.50 crore on day one in India. The last record for a debut pair belonged to Dhadak (Rs 8.76 crore) back in 2018. Even compared to Hrithik Roshan's Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai and Abhishek Bachchan's Refugee from 2000, Saiyaara, stands tall, making it the biggest day-one ticket-seller among debut films in 25 years. What helped Saiyaara capture hearts so quickly? The music. Saiyaara's soul-stirring soundtrack played a huge role in its massive reach. With hits like the title track Saiyaara, Barbaad, Humsafar, and Dhun, the album turned into a chart-topping playlist. Composed by a diverse group including Tanishk Bagchi, Mithoon, Vishal Mishra, The Rish, Faheem Abdullah, Arslan Nizami, and Sachet-Parampara, and penned by Irshad Kamil and Raj Shekhar, the soundtrack follows Mohit Suri's long-standing tradition of music-driven storytelling. With more records possibly in sight and strong word-of-mouth keeping the box office alive, Saiyaara may soon become more than just a love story; it could be a landmark moment for new-gen Bollywood.

This 90 minutes thriller will send chills down your spine, made on budget of Rs 2.5 crore, earned Rs 7 crore, has IMDb rating of 7.8, movie is…, lead actors were…
In the late 1990s, when Bollywood was dominated by song-and-dance routines and family dramas, a unique psychological thriller emerged, challenging the conventional norms of Indian cinema. This film, characterized by its minimalist approach and intense narrative, stood out as an anomaly in the industry, which is now hailed as cult classic of all time. Which film is this? The film we are talking about is 'Kaun?', a 1999 Hindi-language psychological horror directed by legendary Ram Gopal Varma and penned by maverick Anurag Kashyap. Featuring a compact cast of Urmila Matondkar, Manoj Bajpayee, and Sushant Singh, the movie unfolds entirely within a single house, emphasizing suspense and character dynamics over elaborate sets or musical interludes. Remarkably, the film was shot in just 15 days with only 3 actors, showcasing Varma's efficiency and Kashyap's vision. What is the storyline? This film revolves around a nameless woman, portrayed by Matondkar, who is alone at home during a stormy evening. Her solitude is interrupted by the arrival of a stranger (Bajpayee), leading to a tense and unpredictable interaction. The narrative delves deep into themes of trust, fear, and deception, keeping viewers on edge throughout its 90-minute runtime. What impact was created by RGV's thriller on audience's mind? Upon its release, Kaun? received mixed reviews. While some critics appreciated its experimental nature and tight storytelling, others found its deviation from mainstream Bollywood elements jarring. Commercially, the film had a modest performance, earning approximately Rs 7 crore against a budget of Rs 2.5 crore. However, over the years, it has garnered a cult following, with many praising its innovative experimental approach and compelling performances. How were the performances? Urmila Matondkar's portrayal of the enigmatic protagonist is often highlighted as one of her most nuanced performances. Her ability to convey vulnerability and unpredictability added depth to the character, making the film's climax all the more impactful. Manoj Bajpayee, too, delivered a memorable performance, oscillating between charm and menace with finesse. Sushant Singh had a brief but powerful role in Kaun? as the mysterious third character. Though his screen time was limited, his intense and silent presence added a sharp twist, enhancing the film's suspense. It was one of his early roles that showcased his potential in thrillers. Did Kaun receive any accolades? While Kaun? didn't receive major awards upon its release, but its influence on the genre is undeniable. It paved the way for more experimental thrillers in Indian cinema, proving that compelling stories could be told without the usual Bollywood tropes. Today, Kaun? is studied and celebrated for its contribution to the evolution of Indian thrillers, solidifying its place as a masterclass in suspenseful storytelling, which has hold its IMDb rating at 7.8.
