Saiyaara Advance Booking Update: Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's film sells a blazing 26000 tickets in top national chains with over 2 days to go
Saiyaara Has Sold 26,000 Tickets In Top Chains For Day 1, With 2 Days To Go; Booking Outside Top Chains Also Excellent
The bookings are excellent even outside the top chains. Moviemax has sold over 1,100 tickets and to put things into perspective, it has already sold more tickets than this year's Kesari 2 and Jaat for the opening day. By morning, it will have gone past Sitaare Zameen Par as well. Single screens in Bihar are filling fast, indicating that collections outside the plexes will also be strong.
For its costs, the film looks to be breaking even very comfortably in its first two to three days, irrespective of the word of mouth. The movie has recovered 75 percent of its costs and the remaining 25 percent, amounting to Rs 15 crore, shall be recovered once the film grosses Rs 37-40 crore worldwide.
Saiyaara May Well Be A Hit Even Before Release
In other words, the movie seems like a hit even before release, something that's said for very few films. The last time this was said was for Gadar 2, given its low costs and phenomenal advance bookings.
There is a buy one get one offer for the first day, that the makers could have done without by gauging the interest that the people have for the film. Not that it really matters, but it gives those against the film, a thing to point out.
Saiyaara Brings A Ray Of Hope To Exhibitors
The advance bookings of Saiyaara are heartening, not just for the film's producers but also the exhibitors, who finally may have found stars other than the generational icons, to pull people to theatres.

Pablo Picasso to MF Husain: Gifting the recipe of art
Think art and the vision that instantly conjures up in one's mind would be of a canvas in a gilded frame, pronouncing its snobbery and pride from under the glare of the soft lights of a sanitised gallery. This may be true in most cases, for art does have its own settings. But there have been surprises that have broken this stereotype, time and again. Imagine walking into a bustling eatery in the bylanes of a small Indian town and encountering the artworks of the country's most famous artist. When MF Husain visited Kochi as a brand ambassador for Kerala Tourism, he often chose to eat his meals at Kayees, a popular biryani joint in Mattancherry. On the day of his first visit, he drew the leg of a goat on a piece of paper while sitting on the bench, to indicate to the puzzled waiter that he wanted a leg piece in his curry. He went on to complete the sketch of a goat and handed it over to the restaurant. He also presented a drawing of a camel as a parting gift, and today, the humble hotel proudly displays these invaluable gestures on its crowded walls. Another unusual place that features a painting by the iconic artist is the Lucky Tea Stall in Ahmedabad, renowned for its unusual location. The owner who purchased the land did so without realising that it was a cemetery. The knowledge did not prove to be a deterrent, and he went ahead with his plans, placing tables for customers amid the graves and coffins. The morbid surroundings soon became its unique feature, as well as its chai and maska bun. Husain was enamoured by the ambience and in 1994, gifted his painting to the owner, which still adorns its walls, adding its own charm to the 'dine with the dead' environment.

PC Sorcar's brand returns to Chennai after a decade
The lights dim after three bells, and the beats of a nostalgic theme song fill the auditorium. Children lean forward on the edge of their seats — some in eager anticipation, and others simply trying to see past the heads in front — but all of them concentrate with their wide eyes on the stage. Grandparents and parents, seated beside them, whisper stories from their childhood, when they experienced the same thrill, waiting to watch Sorcar senior step into the spotlight. As applause echoes, a magician emerges from the seemingly empty 'Family Album Box', continuing the tradition of 'Indrajal'. After nearly a decade, the Sorcar magic legacy comes to Chennai, and bringing this is Pourush, the grandson of PC Sorcar Sr. — fondly known as the 'Father of Modern Indian Magic' and 'The Maharaja of Magic' — and the son of PC Sorcar Young. PC Sorcar Sr. built the Sorcar brand nearly a century ago as he picked up the hitherto neglected practice of magic from Indian street magicians. Later, he went on to awe people across the globe, starting from Japan, Australia, and USA. A few of his notable tricks are the disappearance of the Eiffel Tower for five seconds, changing the time in Japan, and cutting a lady in half. Following in his footsteps, his son and grandson are upholding the legacy.
