'Saiyaara' box office day 16: Mohit Suri's film shows strong Saturday surge and growing theatre buzz
Saiyaara continues its impressive box office run, with early estimates placing the day 16 (third Saturday) collection at ₹ 6.35 crore. This brings the total earnings to a formidable ₹ 291.35 crore, as the film edges closer to the ₹ 300 crore milestone. After earning ₹ 107.75 crore in its second week and ₹ 4.5 crore on its third Friday, Saiyaara witnessed a noticeable uptick on Saturday, reflecting growing weekend interest and positive word-of-mouth. Theatre occupancy also showed a strong trend across major cities. Nationally, Saiyaara recorded 34.38% occupancy in evening shows, up from 30.79% in the afternoon and 16.14% in the morning, indicating a steady climb throughout the day. City-wise, Bengaluru led the surge with 58.67% occupancy, followed by Chennai at 48.67%, and Pune at 35.33%. The National Capital Region (NCR) also held firm at 30.67%, while Mumbai stood at 24.33%. Other metros like Hyderabad (31.67%) and Jaipur (32.33%) contributed to the film's momentum. While some cities such as Surat (10%), Bhopal (19.67%), and Kolkata (19%) showed relatively modest numbers, the overall performance across urban centres suggests continued audience engagement. With Sunday yet to come and momentum building, Saiyaara is well on track to surpass ₹ 300 crore in the coming days. The strong Saturday performance has reinforced the film's commercial success, making it one of the top-grossing Hindi releases of the year. Saiyaara has also become the second Indian film of 2025 to cross the ₹ 400-crore mark globally, next only to Chhaava ( ₹ 808 crore). It is now eyeing entry into the prestigious ₹ 500 crore club, possibly by the end of the third weekend.

Dhadak 2 box office collection day 2: Shazia Iqbal's directorial debut starring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri released in theatres on August 1 after facing multiple delays. After having a slow start at the box office, has Dhadak 2 managed to show growth on its second day of release? As per the latest update on Sacnilk, the film is yet to cross the ₹10 crore mark. Dhadak 2 box office collection day 2: Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's love saga has stiff competition from Son of Sardaar 2. Dhadak 2 box office update The report states that Dhadak 2 has collected ₹3.75 crore on its second day of release. On Friday, the film made an opening day haul of ₹3.5 crore. The total collection of the film now stands at ₹7.25 crore. Dhadak 2 is facing stiff competition at the box office from another new release (and sequel)- Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2. The comedy saga made twice as more than Dhadak 2 on its second day with ₹7.5 crore, as per Sacnilk. Son of Sardaar 2's overall collection now stands at ₹14.5 crore. Meanwhile, Saiyaara, now in its third week, is still going strong. The film is set to cross the ₹300 crore mark by Sunday. Elsewhere, animated film Mahavtar Narasimha is also performing exceedingly well in its second week. About Dhadak 2 Dhadak 2 chronicles the turbulent love story of Nilesh (Siddhant), a Dalit law student who falls in love with his classmate Vidhi (Triptii), who hails from an upper-caste household. They have to fight casteism and classism in order to make their relationship survive. The film received positive reviews upon release, with many praising the hard-hitting direction and mature performances of the cast. It is an adaptation of Periyarum Perumal. Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap lauded the film and said, 'The film captures the conversation that we avoid on a day-to-day basis. This is what mainstream cinema was meant to be, and this is what great filmmakers like Raj Kapoor, Bimal Roy, Guru Dutt, K A Abbas, B R Chopra, Yash Chopra, and so many used to do. We forgot to make mainstream films of social relevance. They got relegated to independent art house cinema. This is what Tamizh cinema and so much of cinema from south still does.'
