Saiyaara Crosses Rs 100 Cr In 4 Days, But THIS Vicky Kaushal Film Hit Century In 3 Days In 2025
Directed by Mohit Suri and starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, Saiyaara collected an estimated Rs 22.50 crore on Day 4.
There's no stopping Saiyaara. Even on Monday which is typically a slow day for most releases, the film continued its impressive run at the box office. Directed by Mohit Suri and starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, Saiyaara collected an estimated Rs 22.50 crore on Day 4. This brings its total to Rs 106 crore in just four days, according to Sacnilk.com.
The romantic drama released on July 18 and got off to a phenomenal start, collecting Rs 25 crore (approx. $2.9 million) on its opening day in India. According to YRF, nearly 9.75 lakh people flocked to theatres on Day 1, making it the biggest opening day ever for a Hindi film led entirely by debutants. It beat the previous record set by Dhadak, which opened at Rs 8.76 crore in 2018.
What makes Saiyaara's feat even more notable is that only one other Hindi film in 2025 has managed to hit the Rs 100 crore mark faster, Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal. The period drama, directed by Laxman Utekar, has been one of the biggest success stories of the year. It earned a staggering Rs 49.03 crore on Sunday alone, closing its opening weekend with Rs 121.43 crore in India. While Chhaava and Saiyaara differ vastly in genre and scale, one being a historical epic, the other a contemporary love story, both have made history in their own right.
Importantly, Saiyaara's success stands tall on its own merit. It not only marks a breakout moment for Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, but also sets a new benchmark for romantic films at the box office. It outperformed recent romantic hits like Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (Rs 11.1 crore), Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (Rs 6.7 crore), Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar (Rs 15.73 crore), and Kabir Singh (Rs 20.21 crore) in terms of opening day numbers.
The buzz around Saiyaara was strong even before release, with advance bookings crossing Rs 9.39 crore and over 3.8 lakh tickets sold. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh had reported that 1.38 lakh tickets were booked across national chains like PVR INOX and Cinepolis—a record for a debut film in recent memory.
With its soaring numbers, stellar word-of-mouth and sold-out shows across metros, Saiyaara is proving to be a cultural and commercial phenomenon. While Chhaava continues to dominate as the highest grosser of 2025, Saiyaara has earned its place in the spotlight, representing a strong, refreshing wave of new talent and storytelling in Bollywood.

'Saiyaara se aashiqui ho gayi': Shraddha Kapoor calls Ahaan-Aneet's film 'pure magic'
Mohit Suri's Saiyaara is continuing to win hearts across the country—and Shraddha Kapoor just joined the list of celebrities gushing over the film. The actor, who immortalised the character of Aarohi in Aashiqui 2, shared her love for the romantic drama on Instagram, calling Saiyaara 'pure cinema' and 'pure magic.' Taking to her stories on Tuesday, Shraddha posted a video of herself cheering and clapping during a scene featuring lead pair Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. 'Saiyaara se Aashiqui ho gayi hai mujhe,' she wrote, comparing the emotional high of the film to her own 2013 blockbuster. She also posted a still of an intense moment from the film, Ahaan's character Krrish Kapoor on his knees, staring at a photo of Vaani (played by Aneet). 'Pure cinema, pure drama, pure magic. Uff… bohot time baad itna emotion feel kiya hai… Iss moment ke liye 5 baar dekhungi (Felt so emotional after such a long time. I'd watch it five times just for this moment),' she captioned it. Shraddha Kapoor wrote on Instagram, 'Pure cinema, pure drama, pure magic.' The reaction comes amid growing comparisons between Saiyaara and Aashiqui 2, both helmed by Mohit Suri and known for their soul-stirring music and emotionally charged romance. Before Shraddha, Alia Bhatt had also praised Saiyaara, calling it a film 'full of heart, full of soul.' In a note shared online, she wrote, 'Saiyaara isn't just a film. It's a moment. And I'm so glad I got to feel it.' Karan Johar also posted that he was 'blown away' by Ahaan and Aneet's debut, adding that the film's music 'lingers long after the credits roll.' Saiyaara has emerged as a breakout success story in 2025. The film grossed ₹ 100 crore in just four days, with opening weekend figures touching ₹ 82 crore globally. On Spotify, its title track—composed and sung by indie artists Faheem Abdullah and Arslan Nizami—has soared to No. 7 on the Global Top 50 chart, a rare feat for a debut film's soundtrack. The reactions online have been equally passionate: 'I am surprised she went to theatre to watch the movie , and not use AI for writing a fake review ,' a user wrote. 'loved how she titled it, chahe PR ho ya kuch, loved it ki jaise hum local me baat krte hn waise hi likha. Minute thing but it connects with people unlike fake English para generated from AI,' another user wrote. 'The eyes scene was my Roman Empire, so beautiful,' the third wrote. Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara tells the story of Krrish, a struggling musician, and Vaani, an aspiring journalist, whose lives collide in a whirlwind of love, longing, and loss. With powerful performances and a soundtrack that's dominating charts, Saiyaara is fast becoming the most talked-about love story of the year.

‘Kaha Se Aate Hai Ye Log?' Saree-Clad Woman Sits Atop Tree In Bizarre Viral Video
The dramatic visual was deeply unsettling, more so because the tree where the woman sat was swaying dangerously. How far can you go for an Instagram reel to reach millions of views? From dancing on moving trains to recording oneself at the edge of a cliff, some people really take it too far, risking their lives just for some likes and comments. In a similar display of absurdity, a woman has grabbed attention online for executing a bizarre stunt. It involves her sitting atop a leafless tree and calling herself 'pedo ki rani (the queen of trees)." The video of the same was posted by the woman on her Instagram handle, sparking mixed reactions. The woman was seen perched on the bare branches of a tree, clad in a red saree. Rolling hills and a distant townscape featured in the backdrop. While the exact height of the tree was unclear from the video, it appeared to be towering. The dramatic visual was deeply unsettling, more so because the tree where the woman sat was swaying dangerously. Not to forget, her choice of outfit added to the risk. One misstep and the situation could turn into a tragedy in a matter of seconds. The video opened to the woman acting as if she were the queen of trees. She said, 'Mai pedo ki rani aur itni jaldi khatam nahi hogi meri kahani. Senapati, jake rajya mei ghoshna kardo ki paedo ki sirf ekhi rani, maharani hai. Kuynki koi bhi pedo par apna hak nahi bana skta. Pedo par sirf mera haq mai. Inke suraksha karne ka dwaitta sirf mera hai. Aj chali hun mai shuru karne apni intekaam ki kahan. (I'm the queen of trees, and my story won't end so easily. General, go announce across the kingdom that there is only one queen—one empress—of the trees. Because no one else can claim authority over them. The trees belong to me alone. The responsibility of protecting them lies solely with me. Today, I set out to begin the story of my revenge." The internet had lots to say about the video. One user called the woman a 'Branch manager." 'Agle Bahubali mei tumhe hi cast krenge (You will be cast in the next Bahubali movie)," wrote another. 'Pedo ki rani, neeche giri toh khatam kahani (Queen of trees, if you fall your story will end)" joked one person. A social media user questioned, 'Kaha se aate hai ye log?" An individual pointed out that the woman was trying to send the message 'to protect trees and forest around us". 'All jokes apart, this seems to be a very risky place to sit like shaking the entire tree for the effect. Also, even if this is just an illusion and the tree is very close to the ground, a fall from it can still lead to injuries. Funny video though," commented a concerned person. So far, the video has received over 14.2 million views. Location : Delhi, India, India First Published: July 22, 2025, 13:44 IST News viral 'Kaha Se Aate Hai Ye Log?'
