Box Office: Saiyaara enters the Rs 100 crore club in 4 days flat; Monday higher than Friday for Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer
The Day Wise India Net Collections Of Saiyaara Are As Under
Saiyaara Nets Higher Than Opening Day On First Monday; A First For A Film With A Rs 20 Crore Plus Net India Start
Saiyaara is a box office force like none other, in recent memory. We have never had a Rs 20 crore plus net India opener, actually growing in collections on non-Holiday Monday.
It has become the first film featuring debutants to enter the Rs 100 crore club. For it to enter the club in just 4 days is unbelievable. With Saiyaara, the total number of Rs 100 crore plus India net grossers from Bollywood in 2025 stand at 7, the other 6 being Chhaava, Housefull 5, Raid 2, Sitaare Zameen Par, Sky Force and Sikandar.
The bookings are robust for 'Discount Tuesday' with footfalls sure to be higher than Monday. If the collections see a drop on Tuesday, it will likely be due to low average ticket prices. A week one of Rs 160 crore net is certain, and that means the lifetime collections of this year's biggies Housefull 5, Raid 2 and Sitaare Zameen Par will mostly be breached in 7 days flat.
To note, this phenomenon is occuring for a film that was expected to open to Rs 3 - 4 crore, a week before release, with the ceiling being Rs 5 crore. Expectations for the Mohit Suri film increased once the pre-bookings started. But still, a Rs 20 crore plus day one number was something that never crossed anyone's mind. Now, the film is on course for a lifetime number that will be remembered for decades.
International Markets Have Also Got On Board For Saiyaara
The collections of the film being higher on Monday than the opening day is not just an India-wide phenomenon. The international markets have got on board. With Monday bookings in sync with the first Saturday, the romantic-drama is set for a lifetime number of over USD 10 million.

Saiyaara director Mohit Suri thanks Sandeep Reddy Vanga for ‘being the first one to openly support' his film
Mohit Suri may have directed one of the most successful romantic films in recent memory with Saiyaara, but he's a self-proclaimed fan of another filmmaker. Suri recently expressed his admiration of Sandeep Reddy Vanga, best known for helming Arjun Reddy (2017), its Hindi remake Kabir Singh (2019), and most recently, Ranbir Kapoor-starrer 2023 blockbuster Animal. Suri took to social media on Thursday and shared a note of gratitude for Vanga. 'Sandeep, @imvangasandeep thank you for being the first one to openly support and express your generous belief in Saiyaara. It meant the world coming from a filmmaker whose craft I deeply admire. I've always respected the raw emotion, fearlessness and intensity you bring to your stories. It reminds me why we do what we do to move people, to connect. Grateful to walk this path alongside storytellers like you. Here's to more powerful cinema and always a fan,' wrote the filmmaker. On July 9, Sandeep Reddy Vanga had shared the Saiyaara trailer on social media along with the caption, 'Witnessing a hindi heartland love story completely emphasizing on romance and drama. Waiting to watch it on the first day. Wishing the debutants all the very best :-) It's purely Mohith suri's Magic.' Mohit Suri had replied in the comments section of the post, writing 'Thank you so much sir ! Means a lot #saiyaara.' Saiyaara is an intense love story of a young couple, played by Ahaan Panday, who makes his acting debut, and Aneet Padda, known for featuring in web series Big Girls Don't Cry and the Kajol-starrer Salaam Venky. The movie is backed by Aditya Chopra's Yash Raj Films. The romance also stars Geeta Agarwal, Rajesh Kumar, Varun Badola and Shaad Randhawa in key roles. The film has breached Rs 150 crore mark at the domestic box office within six days of release. It earned Rs 22 crore on Wednesday, which took its box office score to Rs 155.75 crore. Saiyaara's impressive opening weekend run of Rs 84 crore at the box office has beat lifetime collection of other debuts of star kids like Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan's Student of the Year (2012) and Jahnvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khattar's Dhadak (2018), which earned Rs 70 crore and Rs 73 crore, respectively.

The film is the first and only romance movie to gross over Rs 100 crore in its opening weekend. Yash Raj Films have requested exhibitors to not hike ticket prices in order to keep them accessible for the youth supporting the film.

Metro In Dino 3 Weeks India Box Office: Anurag Basu's movie gradually moves towards Rs 50 crore net club after poor start
Metro... In Dino, directed by Anurag Basu and starring Ali Fazal, Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Nina Gupta, Anupam Kher, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma and others, has ended its 3rd week at the Indian box office on a slow but steady note, as has been the case for the film throughout its run. After a slow Rs 3.25 crore net start, it seemed as though there will be no way the movie will be able to manage even decent numbers. Dino Did Well To Hold Its Own Amidst Competition With Jurassic World: Rebirth and F1 doing the business that they were, and with Superman and a couple of other reasonably sized Bollywood films like Maalik and Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan hitting theatres immediate after, it looked like the movie would get completely sandwiched by its competition. That however didn't happen to be the case as Dino stood its ground, week after week. It netted Rs 25.45 crore in week 1 and dropped by less than 40 percent in week 2, as it collected Rs 16.25 crore. In week 3, the movie has added Rs 6.65 crore. These are excellent numbers considering that blockbuster Saiyaara hit the screens in this week. The Day Wise Net India Collections Of Dino Are As Under Particulars India Net Collection Week 1 Rs 25.45 crore Week 2 Rs 16.25 crore 3rd Friday Rs 1 crore 3rd Saturday Rs 1.70 crore 3rd Sunday Rs 2 crore 3rd Monday Rs 50 lakh 3rd Tuesday Rs 60 lakh 3rd Wednesday Rs 45 lakh 3rd Thursday Rs 40 lakh Total Rs 48.35 crore in 3 weeks Dino Looks To End Its India Run Netting Rs 55 Crore With Rs 48.35 crore net after 3 weeks, the musical romance is just inches away from the Rs 50 crore mark. It is likely to end its run in the vicinity of Rs 55 crore net (Rs 66 crore gross). The overseas collections are expected to end at an above-expected USD 1.4 million (12 crore gross), meaning that the movie will end up with a gross total of Rs 78 crore. This is not a solid or even a good number. But it shall be looked at respectfully since it opened to numbers where even a Rs 40 crore worldwide looked like a distant dream. Dino May Barely Breakeven BUT... Due to high production costs, the movie may just about breakeven at the box office. Had the costs been managed well, this could have been a profitable movie. All is not lost as T-series stands to gain big from the film's music. The music of Dino is a bonafied hit. Dino In Theatres Dino still plays in select theatres across the globe. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
