Box Office: Saiyaara goes on an overdrive on Sunday; Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer collects Rs 30 crore on day 3
The YRF-produced film opened at Rs 21.25 crore on Friday, followed by a jump to Rs 24.50 crore on Saturday, and peaking with Rs 30 crore on Sunday. The three-day total of Saiyaara is estimated to stand at Rs 75.75 crore, and the film is headed to record a strong hold in collections on Monday, as a large chunk of cinema-going audience have pre-booked their tickets for the fourth day due to capacity issues on Sunday.
While the business on day one and day two was dominated by the youth and masses, the family audience have embraced the film on the third day, which is a great sign for the trajectory in long run for the romantic saga. The music has become extremely popular, and the on-ground reports are getting strong by the day, which is an early indication of an unbelievable lifetime number in the long run.
These numbers have come in for rank newcomers, and it's after a while since a newcomer film has set the box office on fire. Saiyaara has successfully established Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda as potential stars in the horizon, and right choices from hereon can give the Gen-Z a new generation of heroes.
These numbers are beyond historic and probably the biggest for a feature film in the post-pandemic world in real terms, as a film devoid of star-power could just hit the Rs 300 crore club in India. This is certainly the beginning of a new era, with romantic films beginning to hit the marque. If the weekend numbers have shocked you, await the weekday results, as we await the magic to hit a new high in the coming few days. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates!

The romantic drama continues to garner crazy footfalls as it raked in around Rs 21.25 crore on its 6th day at the ticket windows, which takes its total to Rs 155 crore. While the film is on its way to shatter the collections of Sitaare Zameen Par (Rs 166 crore), Housefull 5 (Rs 183 crore) & Raid 2 (Rs 178.08 crore), to emerge as the 2nd highest grosser of 2025 after Chhaava (Rs 600.10 crore), it has now emerged as one of the highest first Wednesday grossers to and has even beaten Rajkummar Rao's Stree 2 in that list. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Highest 1st Wednesday grossers Pathaan - Rs. 57 cr (opening day) Chhaava - Rs. 32.40 cr Gadar 2 - Rs. 32.37 cr Pushpa 2 - Rs. 31.50 cr Animal - Rs. 30.45 cr Baahubali 2: The Conclusion - Rs. 26 cr Dhoom 3 - Rs. 25.52 cr Jawan - Rs. 23.83 cr Saiyaara - Rs 21.25 cr* Stree 2 - Rs 20.40 cr Despite not going all out with the promotions, Saiyaara garnered unprecedented excitement among the cinegoers. Before the release of the movie, director Mohit Suri spoke about it and told Firstpost, 'I've been inside the studio for the last one month. I have no idea. And unlike the past when people travel from one studio to another, this is everything inhouse at YRF. So I haven't really gone out and met the world outside. Normally, when you are working on other films, you go out for the day; for sound, edit, and VFX. It was different different places. And just hearing it now, it does feel it does feel very redeeming and validating because when I started off this film, I was quite discouraged by a lot of senior people saying that nobody would be interested in a young love story. Because at that time, larger-than-life films were being made and I just thought that my voice would be lost there when everyone was shouting. So I just went and tried to make a film which is very different from what others were doing. And to me, the fact that people are appreciating that the difference that it's standing out means a lot.'

Top Hollywood Films of 2025 in India: Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning leads followed by F1 and Jurassic World Rebirth
Hollywood movies are doing great business in India this year—be it Tom Cruise's first installment of the Mission Impossible franchise or Brad Pitt's F1.

Top Hollywood Films of 2025 in India: Mission Impossible 8 leads Mission Impossible- The Final Reckoning, directed by Christopher Macquarie, stormed over Rs 113.50 crore gross in India in its entire run. The Tom Cruise starrer is currently ruling the charts. Interestingly, Brad Pitt's F1 and Scarlett Johansson's Jurassic World Rebirth have crossed the Rs 100 crore mark today and are engaged in a neck-to-neck battle to take the second spot after the Tom Cruise movie. Currently standing at Rs 101.80 crore gross, the Joseph Kosinski-directed sports drama will likely wrap its theatrical run around Rs 110 crore, securing the second spot. While the dinosaur thriller is expected to wind up its entire run around Rs 107 crore, bagging the third spot in the list. It must be noted that Jurassic World: Rebirth currently holds the third spot with Rs 101.1 crore. However, if we include the 3D charges too, it will claim the first spot with a staggering total of Rs 114 crore, beating Mission Impossible 8. The next two spots belong to Final Destination: Bloodlines and Superman. While the former clocked over Rs 75 crore gross in India and emerged a successful venture, the latter underperformed. Directed by James Gunn, Superman currently stands at Rs 50.50 crore gross and is expected to wind up its lifetime run at Rs 55 crore gross in India, which means the movie will end up securing the fifth spot. Though Superman didn't perform to its full potential, it still managed to get a successful verdict at the box office. Had it opened with superlative box office, the David Corenswet starrer would have entered the Rs 100 crore club.
