YRF's 'Saiyaara' has been doing extensively well at the box office. The film received mixed reactions from critics, but grew fabulously on positive word-of-mouth. So much so that it is on its way to becoming the biggest Bollywood film headlined by debutants. However, the future of the film depends on how the audience responds to the new releases - 'Son of Sardaar 2' and 'Dhadak 2'.advertisementIndiaToday.in spoke to trade analyst Girish Johar to understand what lies in the future for 'Saiyaara', and how new releases are going to affect its run at the box office.The Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda-starrer is "poised for a Rs 400 crore" collection at the domestic box office, said Johar.
"'Saiyaara' is tracking very well, and it's poised to have a very successful run. We all know that. I believe Rs 400 crore box office in the domestic market is a very good number. The film can very easily achieve that," he said.Saiyaara vs Son of Sardaar 2 vs Dhadak 2 vs Mahavtar Narsimha at box officeReferring to the new releases which are hitting the screens this weekend, the trade analyst shared, "There is a rush of fresh releases. 'Dhadak 2' is looking very good, everyone is talking about it. 'Son of Sardaar 2' is there. There are other films also. Even the 'Mahavtar Narsimha' animation film is doing well. Having said that, I believe that 'Saiyaara' has a very long innings at the box office. I hope it does 50 days as well, and I believe 55 days or Rs 400 crore is definitely on the cards."But how would the fresh releases impact 'Saiyaara's' business in the long run? While a "speed-breaker" will be experienced, the overall run doesn't look bleak, he added."As we all know, when new releases come, they do tend to give a little roadblock or a speed-breaker to the previous film which is running. So, in this case, 'Dhadak 2' is also a similar genre film, and people are talking about it. It's a youthful romance, a musical, and the audiences seem excited about it." He talked about the other film: 'Son of Sardar 2' is also a family entertainer. I believe if the reception of both these new releases is good, it will have some impact at the box office. However, eventually 'Saiyaara' is an audience-approved film. I don't think much difference is going to be there. It has already done a major part of its business." Considering the current trend, 'Saiyaara' is expected to continue its domestic run, but overseas will see a slight shift due to new international releases.Johar said anything between "9-10 million mark from overseas business is good."'Saiyaara' is running at around Rs 273 crore nett in India, and it will be able to enter the Rs 300 crore club by the end of its third weekend. The journey to Rs 400 crore will not be as smooth as it has been so far, but the film is likely to hit a home-run at the end of its lifetime business. It will be difficult for any romantic film to follow the same path as 'Saiyaara', at least this year. - EndsTrending Reel
