has now crossed Rs 300 crore at the domestic box office on its third Monday.
Meanwhile, it has now begun to fizzle out. It began slowly from last week onwards, ever since 'Mahavtar Narsimha' slowly started getting a lot of praise and the numbers grew through word of mouth.
Meanwhile, two new movies release on August 1, Friday - 'Son Of Sardar 2' and 'Dhadak 2'. In this fight of the sequels, the Ajay Devgn starrer 'Son Of Sardaar 2' has performed better. However, it's 'Mahavtar Narsimha' that has dominated over all the three movies.
The weekend which went by was the second weekend of 'Mahavtar Narsimha'. While on Saturday, it made Rs 15.4 crore, on Sunday, the film saw a huge growth and made Rs 23.4 crore of which 17.8 crore came from the Hindi language. On its second Monday which is day 11, till evening, the film has made Rs 4.1 crore. The total collection of the film so far stands at Rs 95.35 crore, according to Sacnilk.
Interestingly, this surpasses its first-week total of just over ₹32 crore nett—a rare feat in recent box office history.

Sunday's numbers were particularly extraordinary, with the film witnessing phenomenal occupancy levels that pushed collections into overdrive. The momentum and audience response have been nothing short of electrifying. The Sunday numbers could be more also due to holiday in school for children.
Meanwhile, on day 4, Monday, till evening the collection of 'Son Of Sardaar 2' is Rs 1.43 crore and it was the same for 'Saiyaara' as well. Meanwhile, 'Dhadak 2' has made Rs 85 lakhs, till Monday evening. Thus, the Monday numbers are highest at the moment for 'Mahavtar Narsimha' as compared to all the other movies at the moment.
While 'Son Of Sardaar2 ' has emerged a winner over 'Dhadak 2' when it comes to the battle between these two movies, Saiyaara' also has begun to slow down and may end up with a lifetime business of Rs 325 to Rs 350 crore.

Saiyaara box office collection day 20: Aditya Chopra predicted Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda's film would earn Rs 100 cr; it's earned more than three times as much
Mohit Suri's romantic drama Saiyaara, starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, was never meant to be a Yash Raj Films project. Aditya Chopra's banner is best known for delivering iconic love stories like his late legendary father Yash Chopra's Kabhi Kabhie (1976), Chandni (1989), Lamhe (1991), Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), Veer-Zaara (2004), and Aditya's own Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995), Mohabattein (2000), and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008). On the other hand, Suri, who's a product of Mahesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt's Vishesh Films, is renowned for helming Aashiqui 2 (2013), Ek Villain (2014), and Half Girlfriend (2017). But their combination has wielded great results, as Saiyaara has crossed the Rs 500 crore milestone at the worldwide box office and the Rs 300 crore mark at the domestic box office in less than three weeks. It's the highest-grossing romantic film of India, and also the highest-grossing Indian movie starring newcomers. On Wednesday (day 20), it added another Rs 2 crore to the Indian box office, a slight dip from its Tuesday earnings of Rs 2.5 crore. The current box office collection of Saiyaara in India stands at Rs 306.6 crore, as per Sacnilk. In an interview with PTI, Suri revealed that Aditya Chopra had predicted Saiyaara's success, yet probably not to this historic extent. In fact, the producer predicted the film would make Rs 100 crore right after watching just the rough edit. 'I didn't really fall for that I think. I was not too sure. I was still like, 'Let me edit the film. Let me bring it down,'' said Suri. Interestingly, Saiyaara was initially being developed as Aashiqui 3 by Bhushan Kumar's T-Series. However, since Suri wanted to take time in finishing his script, the movie then went to Anurag Basu, who's developing the threequel with Kartik Aaryan and Sreeleela. 'Once there was no sequel pressure or of a star cast which had an opening number to live up to, I stopped caring about the commerce. And I just went and made a film,' said Suri, adding, 'If I was making a sequel, or a franchise, I would be somewhere playing to a commerce like 'Let's make it better than Aashiqui 2. Let's make the music better'. I didn't do that. I did what's best for the film. It was such a liberating process.'

It also serves as a launchpad for Ahaan, the first cousin of Ananya Panday and the nephew of Chunky Panday. Both the actors were strategically kept away from promotions, which seems to have paid rich dividends. 'I genuinely felt that if we arm these kids with a story, a narrative, a song, then they have a better fighting chance rather than just the way they look or how they are photographed,' Suri reasons.

The film's day 13 collections were three times higher than Son of Sardaar 2's, and about five times higher than Dhadak 2's collection.

It has also reached Oman and Bahrain. In India alone, it has sold over 3 million tickets in first 10 days on BookMyShow. Amid the success, there were rumours that the film will hit an OTT platform soon. However, the makers took to their official Instagram handle to clear the air. Ashwin Kumar, the director of the film and founder of Kleem Productions, shared a note. It read: 'We have been receiving a lot of buzz about Mahavatar Narsimha coming to OTT soon — but let us clarify: For now, our film is ONLY available in theatres across the whole wide world. We have not finalised any OTT platform yet. Please believe only authentic updates shared from our official handles.' The success of the film has also given rise to several memes with people drawing comparisons with Hollywood film Avatar. One of the meme reads: 'America — We have Avatar. India — We have MahaAvatar.' With no big releases scheduled for this weekend, films Mahavatar Narsimha and Saiyaara have another week to add to their collections. The films might get affected in the Independence weekend with two big films hitting the big screen: Hrithik Roshan's War 2 and Rajinikanth's Coolie. Meanwhile, Saiyaara has crossed Rs 300 crore mark.
