Box Office: Saiyaara enters the Rs 100 crore club in 4 days flat; Monday higher than Friday for Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer
Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri and starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda is enjoying a gravity-defying run at the box office. After a stellar first weekend of Rs 82 crore net, the movie has collected Rs 22.25 - 22.75 crore on day 4. To put things into perspective, the collections are higher than the opening Friday, and the footfalls are higher than both Friday and Saturday. Total collections of Saiyaara stand at Rs 104.50 crore and we are witnessing history right before our eyes. The Day Wise India Net Collections Of Saiyaara Are As Under Saiyaara Nets Higher Than Opening Day On First Monday; A First For A Film With A Rs 20 Crore Plus Net India Start Saiyaara is a box office force like none other, in recent memory. We have never had a Rs 20 crore plus net India opener, actually growing in collections on non-Holiday Monday. It has become the first film featuring debutants to enter the Rs 100 crore club. For it to enter the club in just 4 days is unbelievable. With Saiyaara, the total number of Rs 100 crore plus India net grossers from Bollywood in 2025 stand at 7, the other 6 being Chhaava, Housefull 5, Raid 2, Sitaare Zameen Par, Sky Force and Sikandar. The bookings are robust for 'Discount Tuesday' with footfalls sure to be higher than Monday. If the collections see a drop on Tuesday, it will likely be due to low average ticket prices. A week one of Rs 160 crore net is certain, and that means the lifetime collections of this year's biggies Housefull 5, Raid 2 and Sitaare Zameen Par will mostly be breached in 7 days flat. To note, this phenomenon is occuring for a film that was expected to open to Rs 3 - 4 crore, a week before release, with the ceiling being Rs 5 crore. Expectations for the Mohit Suri film increased once the pre-bookings started. But still, a Rs 20 crore plus day one number was something that never crossed anyone's mind. Now, the film is on course for a lifetime number that will be remembered for decades. International Markets Have Also Got On Board For Saiyaara The collections of the film being higher on Monday than the opening day is not just an India-wide phenomenon. The international markets have got on board. With Monday bookings in sync with the first Saturday, the romantic-drama is set for a lifetime number of over USD 10 million.

Mohit Suri breaks down in emotional BTS video from 'Saiyaara' set with Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda
Acclaimed director Mohit Suri was visibly emotional during the final day of shooting for Saiyaara, his latest romantic musical drama starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. A behind-the-scenes video from the wrap-up schedule has gone viral, capturing the filmmaker in tears as he embraced cast and crew in a heartfelt farewell. The video, originally shared by cinematographer Ashok Keer on Instagram, shows Suri breaking down as the unit applauds the end of filming. The clip features lead actors Ahaan and Aneet, dressed as bride and groom in traditional attire, clapping and hugging each other while visibly moved by their director's emotional reaction. As the camera pans, Suri is seen hugging crew members tightly, tears in his eyes. Actor Rajesh Kumar, who plays Aneet's father in the film, looks on with a warm smile, clearly touched by the moment. 'Saiyaara' is the love story of Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday), an aspiring singer, and Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda), a gifted writer. The film explores their emotional journey through love, heartbreak, and sacrifice, and has resonated with audiences since its release. The opening weekend saw a modest but positive performance at the box office, bolstered by praise from several industry veterans. While Suri is no stranger to helming emotionally intense stories — with credits including 'Aashiqui 2' and 'Ek Villain' — Saiyaara appears to have struck a particularly personal chord. The emotional farewell highlights the passion and dedication the filmmaker poured into the project. 'Saiyaara' released in theatres on July 18.
