'The love that you have given to Tanvi, I can't measure it in money. Of course, when a film becomes as successful as Saiyara, it helps the industry. It makes other people courageous to make more films. But courage is also about making Tanvi The Great. We are getting so much love, prayers, blessings from the families of autistic people or those who believe in goodness," he said. He expressed his happiness that audiences have embraced both films, giving one heartfelt love and the other both love and box office success.
'Ek baar phir aap sabko in dono filmon ko pyaar dene ke liye. Ek ko pyaar, aur ek ko pyaar aur paisa dono. (Once again, thank you all for giving so much love to these two films—one with love, and the other with both love and money). It's beautiful! I am happy when I see the ratings of Tanvi The Great being at 9.2, 9.3," said Anupam Kher. He also praised Saiyaara stars Ahaan and Aneet, while also congratulating Shubhangi for touching the lives of so many people with her performance in Tanvi The Great.
Anupam Kher also pointed out that when his debut film Saaransh released in 1984, there were riots in Mumbai, so no one went to watch the film in theatres. However, he is now known by the film for 40 years. 'In the same way, both the films will be recognized for their success and beauty. So once again, Adi, Mohit, well done. But also Anupam, well done. God bless you," he said.

It surpasses Dunki and Singham Again collections. The film's success is driven by strong storytelling and music. Saiyaara's performance is notable with debutant actors. The film is expected to enter the Top 25 Hindi films soon. In an industry where box office numbers often define a film's legacy, Mohit Suri 's Saiyaara has etched its name in the annals of Hindi cinema by becoming the 26th highest-grossing Hindi film ever. With an India net collection of Rs 248.43 crore in just 10 days, the film has outpaced major star-driven releases like Shah Rukh Khan 's Dunki (Rs 227 crore) and Ajay Devgn 's Singham Again (Rs 247.86 crore). Mohit Suri Spills On 20 Years In Bollywood - Ahaan & Aneet, Alia Bhatt Dream Collab & More Starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda , Saiyaara was initially viewed as a promising debut vehicle. But what followed was a box office phenomenon that not only defied expectations but also reaffirmed the power of storytelling and music-driven romance. Under the deft direction of Mohit Suri and backed by a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack, Saiyaara struck a chord with audiences across metros and mass belts alike. Released with solid buzz, Saiyaara opened with an impressive Rs 21.5 crore on its first Friday. What truly stunned the trade was the film's phenomenal growth over the opening weekend — Rs 26 crore on Saturday and a massive Rs 35.75 crore on Sunday.

What makes Saiyaara's feat more remarkable is that it achieved this position with debutant actors in lead roles,something of this stature was seen about 25 years ago when Hrithik Roshan made his debut with Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai which had made about Rs 44 crore back in 2000.

Netflix's 'Aap Jaisa Koi' actress Fatima Sana Shaikh teams up with 'Saiyaara' star Aneet Padda for their next project: "There are huge plans to make..."
In an EXCLUSIVE interview with Firstpost, when Fatima Sana Shaikh too spoke on gender pay gap and for things to change, audiences need to accept women led films read more Netflix's 'Aap Jaisa Koi' actress Fatima Sana Shaikh who was also seen in Metro In Dino, is teaming up with Saiyaara fame Aneet Padda for a legal drama titled Nyaya that will be directed by Nitya Mehra and Karan Kapadia. A source told Bollywood Hungama, 'Aneet is a big screen heroine for YRF. Nyaya was shot before she signed Saiyaara and it has no bearing on her career trajectory as a theatrical heroine going forward. A girl who is delivering probably a Rs. 400 crores hit in theatres, is a true Gen Z star at the age of just 22, will be preserved for theatricals. There are huge plans to make her the face of a generation and that can be achieved only by consolidating her theatrical equity.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD About Fatima Sana Shaikh In an EXCLUSIVE interview with Firstpost, when Fatima Sana Shaikh too spoke on gender pay gap and for things to change, audiences need to accept women led films. She said, 'Finally, there are women who are asking for what they deserve, and that is commendable because to voice it and to even receive that was like a dream. And, you know, these are the women like Deepika Padukone who are paving paths for us so that tomorrow when we are in that position, we won't obviously think twice to get our due.' On working with Anurag Basu I didn't get to interact with other characters a lot. I largely interacted with Sara Khan and Ali Fazal that you've seen in the trailer also. So, I didn't unfortunately get to share the screen with all of these other actors that I'm a huge fan of. The best thing about Anurag (dada) is that you are not bound by the script and you know what you're getting into. So, you learn a lot when you go to the set. Even if there is a climax scene, even if there is a hectic scene, you come to know about it in the morning. And you just go with the flow. Whatever comes on your way, you just figure it out. You try to be as honest as possible. And that's what we all did, and there is, you know, significant fun in that too.
