, the film may have seen a slight dip in numbers, but it's now just a step away from touching the Rs 275 crore mark at the Indian box office.
Mints LOWEST on day 13
According to early estimates shared by Sacnilk, 'Saiyaara' earned approximately Rs 7 crore on its day 13, Wednesday, 30 July 2025, bringing its total domestic net collection to Rs 273.50 crore. While the film's pace has slowed slightly, especially when compared to its initial blockbuster opening, the numbers remain impressive for a romantic drama fronted by two debutants.
The film's occupancy across Hindi shows stood at 14.54% on Day 13, with morning shows recording 10.33%, afternoons at 15.67%, evening shows at 15.03%, and night shows at a strong 17.11%.
Drop on weekdays after a solid second weekend
The second week of 'Saiyaara' saw some ups and downs. After a huge Rs 30 crore on its second Sunday (Day 10), the film dropped to Rs 9.25 crore on Monday. It then picked up slightly on Tuesday with Rs 10 crore, only to fall to Rs 7 crore on Wednesday. This was its lowest single-day collection since release.

Big moment for 'Saiyaara' at the global level
While the film is close to Rs 275 crore in India, it has already made a massive impact worldwide.
In just 11 days, 'Saiyaara' crossed the Rs 400 crore mark globally — a huge feat for a romantic drama with debut leads. This big win puts it ahead of some of Bollywood's biggest love stories. It has now beaten Shahid Kapoor's 'Kabir Singh' (Rs 379 crore) and Aamir Khan's 'Sitaare Zameen Par' (Rs 264 crore) in total global earnings.
The proud moment was shared by YRF on their official Instagram handle, with the caption, "#Saiyaara is touching hearts everywhere..."
A poster shared in the post read, "Highest grossing love story in Indian cinema history Rs 404 crore (46.84 Million) Worldwide gross."
New films may bring box office fight
The coming Friday could shake things up at the cinemas. On 1 August, 'Son Of Sardar 2' and 'Dhadak 2' are set to release, and both films are expected to bring competition. If they receive good word of mouth, they could cut into 'Saiyaara''s audience, especially in urban centres. Still, with a strong lead so far and growing fan love, 'Saiyaara' might just hold its ground even in the face of new releases.

Bakaiti Review: Netflix's Delhi Crime fame Rajesh Tailang & Sheeba Chaddha series shows the woes of a middle-class family in the most realistic way
Language: Hindi Director: Ameet Guptha Cast: Rajesh Tailang, Sheeba Chaddha, Aditya Shukla and more Not impoverished, but middle-class people have their own set of problems. Unlike those under the poverty line, they are not really poor, but their challenges are huge. They are mostly struggling to make both ends meet. Sadly, they have to maintain a certain status in the society, yet they don't have that kind of disposable income. And that is the story of Kataria Parivaar of Bakaiti web series set in Ghaziabad. They can give basic education to their children, but they can't afford the kind of education that every ambitious child dreams of, going to a reputed college away from home. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Bakaiti is indeed a story of every middle-class family shown in the most nuanced possible way. Revolving around the Kataria family, the Bakaiti series shows the helplessness of the father, Sanjay (Rajesh Tailang) of the family, who is unable to send her studious daughter for post-graduation to Mumbai despite her getting half the scholarship. As an advocate, Sanjay is unable to make enough money, but is not willing to sell off the house that his father and he built. He and his wife, Sushma (Sheeba Chaddha) decide to rent out one of the rooms of the house. Now, the problem is that both the kids, Naina (Tanya Sharma) and their cricket-obsessed younger son Bharat (Aditya Shukla), are not willing to share a room. They are used to their own privacy and their own space. A still from Bakaiti Bakaiti beautifully navigates middle-class struggles. The water motor in the house also plays a very important role in the series. Whenever there is a tense moment in the series, it starts giving the alarm that it is time to switch it off. But not a single member in the family is willing to run up to the terrace to do this chore. The show also talks about another family that is Sanjay's ( Rajesh Tailang) side. Sanjay's brother, who runs the family furniture business, is desperate to sell the ancestral house because he believes that is logical, but Sanjay refuses. Though both families fight among each other, they come together in times of need. Like all middle-class families, there is always financial tension, but they try to navigate through all the hurdles and stay together. Layered with clashing views and generation gap, the family is together through thick and thin. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD No out-of-the-box storyline, but it will touch your heart for its simplicity. The story takes a turn when Naina (Tanya Sharma) goes missing when her father refuses to send her to Mumbai for her post-graduation. We, belonging to the middle class, will understand the feelings of sacrificing dreams because of family situations. And one who has gone through such situations of sacrificing her dreams of moving to a big city for education, being crushed because of financial crunch, will empathise with Naina (Tanya Sharma) all the more. Life can be really cruel if you don't come from money or circles of power. Rating: 3 out of 5 WATCH the trailer of Bakaiti here:

Imax lures more viewers as premium demand rises across metro cities
Big screen means good business: audience demand for large-format screens, mostly IMAX, is helping cinema companies like PVR INOX and Cinépolis India fill up theatres. The trend comes at a time when viewers have access to a wide range of digital content at home, but still go to theatres for a 'premium cinematic experience'. To entertain them, the number of films digitally remastered for release in India increased by about 15-20 per cent from January to June compared with the same period last year, according to Cinépolis India. PVR INOX said 23 films were released in IMAX format in the first six months of 2025 and 19 in the same period last year. IMAX, short for Image MAXimum, is a comprehensive cinematic system that employs high-resolution cameras, large-format film and digital media, and advanced projection to deliver an immersive viewing experience. In India, most films are digitally remastered to be released in IMAX format, rather than being shot or filmed in the format. 'We're witnessing a consistent surge in audience demand for IMAX screenings, particularly for high-octane, spectacle-driven films. Metro cities such as Mumbai, Delhi-NCR, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Pune continue to lead the demand curve,' said Sanjeev Kumar Bijli, executive director of PVR INOX, which has 25 IMAX auditoriums, the most in India. 'These cities host some of our most successful IMAX properties, with near-full occupancy for major releases. The appetite for premium cinematic experiences is steadily growing, and IMAX remains at the forefront of that consumer preference,' he said. Devang Sampat, managing director of Cinépolis India, said 30 to 35 Hollywood movies are released in IMAX annually, but in India the number is between six to 10 titles. However, the Indian audience engagement with IMAX films has significantly increased, he said. Pune, Kochi, Bengaluru, and Mumbai drive the demand in the segment for Cinépolis India, which operates five IMAX screens. 'We anticipate that upcoming releases such as War 2 will generate substantial demand for IMAX viewing experiences,' said Sampat. Some IMAX-format Bollywood films this year include Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava, Salman Khan's Sikandar, The Diplomat starring John Abraham, and Akshay Kumar's Sky Force. War 2, Yash Raj Films' spy movie starring Hrithik Roshan, will be released in IMAX format. Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, fantasy adventure How to Train Your Dragon, James Gunn-directed Superman, and the F1 movie starring Brad Pitt are Hollywood films that have helped the demand for IMAX as well. 'This trend reflects the industry's growing recognition of the IMAX format's value proposition and the increasing availability of post-production enhancement technologies,' Sampat said. Vipul Shah, chairman and managing director of Sunshine Pictures, said improved availability of IMAX screens and premium services justify higher ticket pricing: audiences are willing to pay when the cinematic scale warrants it. Bijli agreed with Shah's statement, noting that the IMAX release of a movie can contribute up to 25 per cent of the film's overall box office revenue. Movie trade analyst Girish Wankhede said that ticket prices for IMAX films range from Rs 1,200 to Rs 1,400. 'From a production standpoint, unless a film is shot using IMAX cameras, the cost of converting a regular film to IMAX is not prohibitively high. Currently, India has very limited access to IMAX cameras…perhaps just one or two, which makes shooting natively in the format a rarity,' said Shah. 'But as the number of IMAX screens continues to grow and filmmakers look for ways to attract audiences back to theatres, we're likely to see more films being shot specifically for IMAX in the future.' IMAX is an integral part of PVR INOX's premium screen strategy. Bijli said that in FY26 the company plans to expand its IMAX footprint with several additional screens in select high-demand markets. Sampat said Cinépolis India, an arm of the Mexico-based international cinema exhibitor, is in talks with IMAX Corporation to expand their partnership. The company has growth plans for India and its global operations in FY26. Miraj Cinemas, which added one IMAX screen in Wadala, in central Mumbai, last year, has signed agreements for two more IMAX screens with IMAX Corporation. Wankhede said he expects the number of movies releasing on IMAX screens will increase this year, noting that large production houses are working to have their films (especially those with huge star casts) digitally remastered for the format.

Books and brews bring Bengaluru together
A typical weekend in Bengaluru often finds its residents soaking in the city's rhythm — dancing to live music, unwinding at bustling breweries, or catching a cultural performance. But for those seeking a slower pace, the city offers quieter, more contemplative corners. One such haven is the growing number of book cafés — spaces where you can read, reflect, and leave feeling creatively recharged. 'BOOK CAFÉS ARE BECOMING SANCTUARIES WHERE IDEAS ARE SHARED' In an age where technology dominates daily life, book cafés offer a much-needed pause Udai Kiran, founder of Dialogues Café, has noticed a shift in what people seek from public spaces. 'Book cafés are becoming sanctuaries where ideas are shared, voices are heard, and creativity is nurtured. We're moving beyond mere transactions. I believe we'll see more hybrid spaces like this in the future — places that grow into true communities,' he explains. Prerna Prakash, store manager at Atta Galatta, believes in giving visitors the freedom to engage with the space in their way. 'Some come for conversation and company — and they'll find plenty of it here — but we're just as happy when someone tucks themselves into a corner and makes it their own,' she says. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Candi: Unsold Sofas May Be at Bargain Prices (Prices May Surprise You) Sofas | Search Ads Search Now Undo You Can Also Check: Bengaluru AQI | Weather in Bengaluru | Bank Holidays in Bengaluru | Public Holidays in Bengaluru People often bring books to read while enjoying a cup of coffee or a meal, showing how naturally the two habits complement each other – Nathan Harris, co-owner of The Hole in The Wall 'EACH BOOK CAFÉ TELLS ITS OWN STORY' At Atta Galatta, the shelves are devoted entirely to Indian writing in both English and regional languages. Dialogues Café, on the other hand, has a more organic collection, with most books donated by patrons eager to share their favourites. The Hole in the Wall offers an eclectic mix — from fiction and autobiographies to nursery rhymes. 'BOOK CAFÉS OFFER A DIFFERENT VIBE ALTOGETHER' For many, book cafés offer an atmosphere unlike any other. Bengaluru-based author Sumaa Tekur explains, 'Book cafés have a more intellectual energy. Surrounded by books, you naturally slip into a reading mood. It's very different from regular cafés, where the focus is often on socialising or eating.' She adds that such spaces can help revive a stalled reading habit. 'At home, we all have our favourite reading spots. But sometimes you hit a wall. A new environment — shelves full of books, other readers lost in their pages — can give you that push to start reading again,' she says. For Fariha Jawed, a 32-year-old creative consultant, weekend visits to a book café are a cherished ritual. 'It's my go-to reset. I sit with my favourite drink, switch off from everything else, and leave feeling centred and creatively recharged.' My friend took me to a book café recently. I picked up a book at random and ended up finishing it before I left. Spaces like this remind you why you fell in love with reading in the first place D Shravan, 29, a UI/UX designer in Bengaluru 'BENGALURU IS A CITY OF THINKERS AND DOERS' Bengaluru, according to Udai, is inherently a 'city of thinkers, dreamers, and doers.' He says, 'There's a natural curiosity here. People are always seeking new communities. But it's also a city that values calm, which is why book cafés fit so well. And sometimes, the experience can be transformative.'
