Saiyaara box office collection day 12: Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda starrer becomes India's biggest love story, crosses Rs...
Saiyaara broke multiple records
In just 11 days, Saiyaara overtook Kabir Singh to become the highest-grossing romantic film in Indian cinema. The Shahid Kapoor-Kiara Advani film had earlier set the bar with Rs 387 crore worldwide, but Saiyaara crossed that in nearly a quarter of the time.
Nope. It had already outperformed Kabir Singh during its opening weekend with Rs 83.25 crore net in India, compared to Kabir Singh's Rs 70 crore. That's not all, Saiyaara also recorded the biggest ever opening for a film headlined by debut actors.
How strong was the film's release day?
Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's launch vehicle opened to Rs 21.50 crore on day one in India. The last record for a debut pair belonged to Dhadak (Rs 8.76 crore) back in 2018. Even compared to Hrithik Roshan's Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai and Abhishek Bachchan's Refugee from 2000, Saiyaara, stands tall, making it the biggest day-one ticket-seller among debut films in 25 years.
What helped Saiyaara capture hearts so quickly?
The music. Saiyaara's soul-stirring soundtrack played a huge role in its massive reach. With hits like the title track Saiyaara, Barbaad, Humsafar, and Dhun, the album turned into a chart-topping playlist.
Composed by a diverse group including Tanishk Bagchi, Mithoon, Vishal Mishra, The Rish, Faheem Abdullah, Arslan Nizami, and Sachet-Parampara, and penned by Irshad Kamil and Raj Shekhar, the soundtrack follows Mohit Suri's long-standing tradition of music-driven storytelling.
With more records possibly in sight and strong word-of-mouth keeping the box office alive, Saiyaara may soon become more than just a love story; it could be a landmark moment for new-gen Bollywood.
