‘Saiyaara' box office: Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda romance crosses ₹100 crore mark in just four days
The romantic drama had already surprised the industry with a stellar opening weekend, collecting ₹21.5 crore on Friday, followed by ₹26 crore on Saturday and ₹35.75 crore on Sunday. While Monday saw a dip of around 37% from Sunday's total, the day's earnings still exceeded those of its opening day, which is an especially rare feat for a film led by newcomers.
Saiyaara has quickly emerged as one of the most successful Hindi releases of 2025. It now ranks seventh among the year's top-grossing Hindi films, overtaking the total lifetime domestic collections of several big-ticket projects, including Kesari Chapter 2 (₹92.53 crore) and Jaat (₹88.26 crore). The film is now eyeing Sikandar, Salman Khan's release, which currently sits at ₹110.1 crore.
With a reported 41.87% occupancy rate on Monday — peaking at nearly 60% during night shows — Saiyaara has also outperformed recent romantic dramas by a wide margin. Its four-day total surpasses the first-week numbers of films like Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Teri Baaton Mein Aisi Uljha Jiya, and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar.
Driven largely by positive word-of-mouth and audience engagement on social media, Saiyaara has bucked conventional marketing trends and delivered a breakout success. The film's performance on weekdays will be crucial in determining how far it can climb in the coming weeks, but early signs suggest it's far from slowing down.

'Will do television only if I get something extraordinary' Is he open to doing more TV shows? The Tamanna actor says, 'I will do it only if I get something extraordinary, a one-of-a-kind show or character. While working in television, you are bound by the same kind of character for the entire show. While it pays you well, you don't get time to spend that money due to the hectic schedules. So, what is the point? Doing films has made me freer to explore different roles and mediums.' And what about reality shows? He says, 'Not right now. I have been approached by makers for three years now, but I am not ready to take it up yet.' 'Want to do light-hearted films before exploring complex roles' Talking about his D-Town experience, he says, 'It has already been a great start to my career in Gujarati films. In my first two films, I played a cute boy in love and I think I'll continue doing light-hearted genres for one or two films before I actually showcase my potential as an actor here by exploring complex roles. I want to do good films and be the new face of this industry.' Was it challenging to enter regional films as a lead? Bhavin shares, 'Not at all. I am grateful that a few makers have approached me with scripts. But I want more makers to at least approach me without inhibitions about my alleged fees.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Talking about keeping the identity of his fiancée hidden, he says, 'Early in my career, I would tag my family and friends in my social media posts, and fans used to stalk and spam them a lot. My fiancée is a very private person, and I am happy we are getting to spend time together away from the public eye.' He adds, 'I won't disclose the date, but we will get married by the end of this year (smiles).' Bhavin shares, "I have released only singles (music videos) till now. But in Shubh Saanjh, my next Gujarati film, I am also a singer and composer. I have sung three songs and wrote two of them." The actor is also very active on social media. Is it something he is passionate about? He says, "On social media, change is the only constant. It is a medium that we have to be on, and it is sad, but it's a reality that we might get work there. I make reels and videos for the sake of doing it, but mere andar ka actor is satisfied only while facing a big camera."
