Box Office: Saiyaara surprises overseas with USD 2 million weekend; Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda leave a mark globally
The film started off with USD 450K on Friday, from where one would normally expect a weekend of USD 1.25 million or so. This film, however, surprised with a phenomenal trend. It saw a strong surge in business on Saturday, collecting USD 650K. On Sunday, films normally drop off a bit, rarely some remain flat, and even rarely some manage to grow. This film, however, exploded on Sunday, earning almost double its Friday biz.
The growth was all across the board, from North America in the West to Australia in the East. In the Middle East, where Sunday is actually a working day, the film showed an extraordinary hold with business on par with Saturday.
From this weekend, the film should be eyeing a finish of over USD 6 million. However, with the unconventional trend the film has shown till now, it's tough to say how high it can go. The business shall remain elevated for the next couple of days on weekdays as well, and then there may be some stabilisation, after which we will get a better idea of its closing.
The Territorial Breakdown of Saiyaara Overseas Box Office is as follows:
Middle East: USD 650K
US: USD 450K
UK: USD 260K
Canada: USD 225K
Australia / New Zealand: USD 120K
Rest of world: USD 200K
Total: USD 1.90 million

During a recent interview, she discussed the financial challenges she her conversation with Siddharth Kannan on his podcast, Bhattacharya revealed she was 'most underpaid actor' on the sets of 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi'. Although her colleagues received raises, she did not experience the same financial kabhi raise hi nahi mila (I never got a raise)," she said. When Siddharth asked her if that was the case for all seven years, Jaya Bhattacharya confirmed, 'Ek baar mila tha maangne pe (I got one raise after asking for it)." She further explained that while other actors were given Rs 2000 hikes at the time, she was offered only half of that. "Jahaan sabko do-do hazaar mile the raise, wahan mujhe ek hazaar mila tha (Where everyone else got two thousand rupees as raise, I got one thousand),' she recalled. 'Mere ego ko lag gaya. Ek toh mujhe maangna pad raha hai, aur phir mujhe wahi nahi mil raha jo doosron ko mila. Kya main itni important character nahi Hoon (My ego got hurt. I have to ask for something, and then I am not getting what others got. Am I not such an important character?)?" she said that moment made her vow never to ask for a raise again, even though others around her continued to get regular increments. 'Toh maanga nahi. Baakiyon ka toh lagataar raise hota rehta tha,' she said, pointing out how others went on to become more successful than Bhattacharya was part of the original ensemble cast of 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu', which starred Smriti Irani in the lead role and went on to become one of Indian television's most iconic daily soaps. As Star Plus gears up to launch a reboot of the show on July 29, it is unclear if Bhattacharya will return to reprise her role.- EndsMust Watch
