Saiyaara breaks the box office on Monday evening; Aims to match Saturday numbers
Saiyaara Is Expected To Net Rs 23 Crore On 1st Monday; Higher Than Opening Day And Close To 1st Saturday Numbers
Saiyaara has become the first Indian movie with opening day collections of over Rs 20 crore to net higher than its opening day, on first Monday. If the night shows are stronger than we expect, a number close to or equal to the first Saturday can't be discounted for the Mohit Suri directorial.
Saiyaara Shall Stand At Around Rs 105 Crore Net After 4 Days
After 4 days, Saiyaara will be standing at Rs 105 crore net or so. For a movie that wasn't expected to open above Rs 4 crore, this 4 day number is unimaginable. What will be even crazier is to expect how much the movie will collect in its full run. The wave of the film is getting stronger by the day and no number looks small enough.
Saiyaara Tuesday Bookings Are Phenomenal
Bookings for Saiyaara are robust for Tuesday as well. The 'discount Tuesday' offer in most theatres across India should ensure higher footfalls than even Monday, though the collections are likely to see a slight drop since the average ticket prices will be lower.
Saiyaara's Week 1 Numbers Shall Be Equal To The Lifetime Collections Of 2025's Biggies
After week 1, Saiyaara will be standing with numbers that are equal to the lifetime collections of 2025's biggies - Housefull 5, Sitaare Zameen Par and Raid 2. It will only be standing behind Chhaava. Will Saiyaara be able to come remotely close to Chhaava's lifetime numbers is something that will take a few weeks to know.

Ratan Thiyam: A Visionary Who Revolutionized Indian Theatre
Guwahati: Born on Jan 20, 1948, at Nabadwip in West Bengal's Nadia district, Ratan Thiyam, recognised as one of India's greatest theatre innovators, grew up in Imphal, surrounded by art and art-making, which profoundly influenced his life and work. His father, Thiyam Tarunkumar, was one of the most respected gurus of classical Manipuri dance, while his mother, Bilasini Devi, was a renowned dancer. Thiyam passed away at 77 at the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) in Imphal at approximately 1:30am Wednesday. Along with KN Panikkar, BV Karanth, Habib Tanvir, Bansi Koul, and Jabar Patel, Thiyam, affectionately known as 'Oja' (teacher in Meiteilon), was a major pioneer of the "theatre of roots" movement, developed during the 1960s-1970s. This movement sought to reclaim and integrate Indian classical, folk, and indigenous performance traditions with modern sensibilities, a powerful strategy for redefining Indian cultural identity. A graduate of dramatic arts from the prestigious National School of Drama (NSD), Thiyam was not only a powerful stage director but also a complete theatre craftsman and creative visionary. He was a multifaceted genius — a designer, music composer, choreographer, lighting expert, costume designer, architect, playwright, painter, and poet, whose brilliance extended across nearly every element of the performing and creative arts. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 15 most beautiful women in the world Undo Thiyam took Manipur and Indian theatre onto the global stage, creating a new theatrical form by synthesising diverse performance traditions from his homeland. His works showcase the seamless blending of elements from the classical Natya Shastra (Indian theatre style during the second century BC) and Western realistic theatre with Manipuri's rich indigenous performing arts such as martial arts (thang-ta), dance, music, and ritualistic gestures. Through this artistic strategy, Thiyam asserted the socio-political and cultural uniqueness of Manipur, positioning it as separate from the mainland's dominant cultural narratives. This gained him national and international recognition as a playwright and director. His celebrated plays, such as Chakravyuha and Uttar Priyadarshi, brought global acclaim to Manipuri theatre and Indian drama at large. His main contributions to Indian theatre innovations are profound and transformative, significantly shaping the direction of contemporary Indian performance. His influence reverberates through his unique stylistic language, institutional leadership, and continued advocacy for indigenous forms and social consciousness. In 1976, Thiyam established the Chorus Repertory Theatre in Imphal, which became a national hub for experimental, visually rich, and socially responsible theatre. The theatre trained and inspired generations of artists and encouraged the fusion of rural and urban motifs, traditional and modern directing techniques, and innovative stagecraft. His work is celebrated for its striking visual design, choreography, and music, combining scenic minimalism and grand imagery. His plays featured stylised movements, ritualistic gestures, symbolic props, and a deep focus on atmosphere that set new standards for Indian stagecraft, creating a holistic theatre experience. Thiyam's plays often explore profound themes. His Leima Yenlingai Khuna Kaba (1980) addresses the motif of corruption in society transforming into an instrument of religious terror, while Urubhangam (1981), adapted from the Sanskrit play by Bhāsa, focuses on Duryodhana's tragic story from the Mahabharata. Lengshonnei (1986), his adaptation of Bertolt Brecht's version of Sophocles' Antigone, reinterprets the Greek tragedy through classical and traditional Indian forms interwoven with tribal rituals. Another masterwork, Chakravyuha (1984), rooted in the Mahabharata (Drona Parva), is considered one of Thiyam's finest productions, where he presents a powerful meditation on war, entrapment, and the heroism of the young warrior Abhimanyu. Another acclaimed production, Urubhangam (Broken Thigh, 1981), adapted from the Sanskrit play by Bhāsa, is based on an episode from the Mahabharata, focusing on the tragic downfall of Duryodhana. Both Urubhangam and Chakravyuha reflect Thiyam's belief in the timeless relevance of epics, recontextualised to comment on modern dilemmas. One of his most internationally acclaimed works is Uttar Priyadarshi, an adaptation of a Hindi verse play by celebrated poet and writer Agyeya, where Thiyam retells the story of Emperor Ashoka's spiritual transformation. These works exemplify Thiyam's ability to blend ancient texts and diverse performing traditions into cohesive contemporary theatre, addressing social, political, and philosophical questions with a rooted yet innovative dramatic language. A towering figure in contemporary Indian theatre, celebrated for combining classical, indigenous, and modern elements in his plays, Thiyam's death marks the departure of one of India's greatest theatre innovators, whose lifelong dedication elevated Manipuri traditions to the global stage and enriched the country's artistic heritage.

Saiyaara: 4 Reasons Why Mohit Suri's Hero Ahaan Panday Has Become Overnight Star & Internet's Darling
Let's now take a quick look at what makes Ahaan the internet's latest obsession and subject of massive fan frenzy: Resurgence of the romantic hero This is the age of action thrillers and political-motivated patriotic films. Every Friday brings to us yet another larger-than-life action hero, who doesn't bat his eyelids before taking down a gang of goons with death-defying action sequences. At a time like this, Saiyaara, a mopey love story, has come as a breath of fresh air. The industry and the audience were awaiting the arrival of a romantic hero and Ahaan's entrance seems to be a classic case of being at the right place at the right time. His Krish Kapoor is a rugged charmer. And he loves with all his heart. With a guitar in his hand and pain in his eyes, he has truly emerged as a modern-day lover boy. When his lady love fails to recognise him, a heartbroken and misty-eyed Krish plants a kiss on her forehead (of course, with consent). He shares a scintillating chemistry with Aneet. Plus, videos of him doing the rounds on the internet that show him grooving effortlessly to the beats of a timeless track makes him desirable. Could he be our modern-day Shah Rukh Khan? Those are big shoes to fill. But at least, we finally have a Gen-Z romantic hero, who will sweep you off your feet! Noteworthy acting chops Ahaan has been winning raving reviews for his debut act in Saiyaara. Years of training and patience have surely borne a sweet, sweet fruit. Even in the most emotionally dramatic and chaotic scenes, his restraint is palpable. His screen presence is luminous. His quite vulnerability and eloquent pair of eyes are signs of masculinity that isn't quite afraid to embrace its flaws and emotionality. In Saiyaara, he truly delivers an act that can make even the experienced and seasoned envious. Ahaan's debut can best be compared to Ranbir Kapoor's. Both these performances – Ahaan in Saiyaara and Ranbir in Saawariya – bear a testament to the fact that if you have talent that sparkles and shines all the way even in a bumpy film, you're sure to soar. It's understandable why the film achieved the feat for being the highest grossing film featuring debutants. The enigma factor Saiyaara has managed to break old records and set many new ones with a unique and clever promotional strategy. These feats have happened without the actors being exposed to the public glare and without any traditional publicity and marketing approach – zero interviews, zero city visits, no reels, no influencer content. That's what perhaps explains this euphoria and frenzy surrounding this new actor, Ahaan. This secrecy and limited visibility (only through old Dubsmash videos and Alanna's vlogs) have definitely amped up the intrigue surrounding him. At a time when actors go all out to promote their films – engaging in multi-city tours and mall visits – Ahaan is a strong reminder of the old times when actors were elusive. And that directly translated into footfalls in theatres. And even with the massive success the film has and continues to witness, Ahaan along with Aneet has pretty much continued to stay away from limelight. No success interviews, limited paparazzi videos, zero theatre visits. Smart move! advetisement Boy next door
