Saiyaara box office prediction
Saiyaara, director Mohit Suri's new film, is almost upon. The film is slated to hit the screens on July 18 and it promises to set the box office on fire. According to Rohit Jaiswal, a trade analyst and critic, the romantic thriller is expected to earn Rs 24 crore in India on the first day.
'Saiyaara has created a buzz. Given the Rs 36 crore budget, it is a blockbuster in the making. The day 1 collection will be around Rs 24 crore,' he told Indiatimes.
If this is indeed the case, Saiyaara will outperform films such as Mohit Suri's Ek Villain Returns (Rs 7 crore), Anurag Basu's Metro In Dino (Rs 4 crore) and the Kajol-led Maa (~Rs 5 crore). It will, however, not be able to outperform Sikandar (Rs 30 crore) and the Vicky Kaushal-fronted Chhavaa (Rs 33 crore).
What trade says about Saiyaara
Sayaara has taken many in the trade circles by surprise with its advance bookings. According to Variety, it has broken advance booking records for a film with a debutant hero in India, selling over 45,000 tickets across major theater chains in its first 24 hours of pre-sales. This figure reflects the initial response in PVR Inox and Cinepolis, which account for over 60% of a Hindi film's revenue.
Factors influencing Saiyaara's box office Success
Saiyaara has taken the trade circles by storm because of the way Ahaan and Aneet have been projected onscreen.
' Ahaan has been showcased brilliantly so far and Aneet is a craze among the youth. Also, the audience was craving for a proper romantic thriller with some erotic elements. This fulfills the need,'said Jaiswal.
He also added that songs such as Barbaad and Humsafar have clicked with the youth. Moreover, he emphasised that Mohit Suri has a strong connection with the audience because of his fast-paced brand of storytelling
