Saiyaara BO Day 13: Ahaan Panday's movie beats Chhaava, becomes biggest Bollywood grosser of 2025 overseas
According to industry tracker Sacnilk, the Mohit Suri directorial grossed approximately ₹ 94 crores overseas in just 12 days, compared to the ₹ 91 crores Chhaava earned in its lifetime at the international market.
Among all Indian releases in 2025, Saiyaara now stands as the second-highest-grossing film internationally, also beating Malayalam superstar Mohanlal's Thudarum ( ₹ 93.80 crore). Only Mohanlal's L2: Empuraan stands above it with a towering international gross of ₹ 124.50 crore.
Globally, Saiyaara has crossed the ₹ 400 crore mark, becoming the second Indian film of 2025, next only to Chhaava ( ₹ 808 crore). Its total worldwide gross has reached ₹ 413.75 crores in 12 days, and it is now eyeing entry into the prestigious ₹ 500 crore club, possibly by the end of the third weekend. Saiyaara's India gross stood at ₹ 319.75 crore.
This will be a monumental achievement for a romantic drama led by two debutants.
This dream run is expected to continue for Saiyaara till at least August 1, after which it will face some competition from Dhadak 2 and Son of Sardaar 2.
According to Sacnilk, Saiyaara witnessed a 30% fall in its earnings on Wednesday, which is just marginal considering that it is the movie's second mid-week. Saiyaara earned ₹ 7 crore on Wednesday, Day 13.
Saiyaara's 13-day total now stands at ₹ 273.50 crore net in India. It will possibly achieve ₹ 300 crore net by the end of the second week.
Saiyaara is a romance-drama about Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday), a budding musician, and Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda), a shy writer. Through their relationship, the film explores love, loss, and drama.

Actor Kalabhavan Navas found dead in hotel room
Malayalam film actor and mimicry artist Kalabhavan Navas was found dead in a hotel in Chottanikkara here on Friday evening, police said. The incident came to light when the staff of the hotel, where Navas (51) was staying for a film shoot, alerted authorities. He was rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared him dead, police said. Police suspect he suffered a cardiac arrest. Manorama News reported that Navas had completed shooting for his upcoming film Prakambanam on Friday and was preparing to vacate his room. The report added that a hotel employee found the actor unconscious in his room when he went to confirm his checkout. According to the police, no suspicious items were found in his room. His body, currently kept at SD Tata Hospital in Chottanikkara, will be handed over to his family after the autopsy on Saturday. Navas was widely known for his comedic and supporting roles in several Malayalam films, including Mattupetti Machan, Junior Mandrake, and Amma Ammayi Amma. He began his career as a mimicry artist with the famed Kalabhavan troupe, which brought him early recognition. His film debut came in 1995 with Chaithanyam. Beyond cinema, Navas was active in television and frequently performed at stage events across the state.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, in a Facebook post, expressed grief over Navas's untimely demise. 'The passing of film and television actor Kalabhavan Navas is deeply saddening. Entering the world of performing arts through mimicry, he brought new dimensions to the craft of comic impersonation and won over many hearts through stage shows. Navas was also an artist who upheld progressive and democratic values. I offer my condolences and join his family and admirers in their grief,' the Chief Minister wrote.
