At a time when Bollywood's future seemed uncertain with even the so-called 'most anticipated' projects underperforming, director Mohit Suri's musical romantic drama Saiyaara, starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has breathed new life into the ailing industry and emerged as a surprise hit. Since day one, Saiyaara has been dominating the box office and is now poised to cross the Rs 100 crore mark in the domestic market on Tuesday. The film is also performing strongly in overseas markets, resulting in a global gross that is rising almost shockingly fast. In just three days since its release, Saiyaara has recorded an India nett collection of Rs 84 crore, marking the biggest opening weekend ever for a romantic film in India. After earning Rs 22 crore on its opening day (Friday), the film went on to collect Rs 26.25 crore on Saturday and Rs 35.75 crore on Sunday. With Rs 17.25 crore grossed overseas and Rs 101.75 crore grossed in India, the film's current worldwide total stands at Rs 119 crore (USD 13.80 million). * Highest worldwide opening weekend ever for a debutant-led Hindi film. * Biggest opening weekend for a romantic film in Indian box office history. * Sunday's Rs 35.75 crore nett is the highest single-day collection ever for a romance film in India. * Its opening weekend global gross of Rs 119 crore is the highest ever for a romantic film in Indian cinema. * First and only romance film to gross over Rs 100 crore worldwide in its opening weekend. * Rs 22 crore nett on Day One is the highest-ever opening for a love story in India. * Career-best opening for director Mohit Suri. * Most advance ticket sales for a debutant actor's film. * Most advance ticket sales for a love story. * Biggest-ever opening for a debut producer in the romance genre.

It has also overtaken the lifetime India collection of John Abraham's The Diplomat (Rs 38.97 crore). In her review of the movie, SCREEN's Shubhra Gupta wrote: 'What could have been a bitter-sweet love story, and that's what the Mohit Suri film is clearly going for, is done in by its dialogue-heavy, inconsistent bits.'

Ahaan Panday And Vedang Raina's Lookalike Memes Are The Internet's New Obsession: "Male Counterpart Of Raveena-Twinkle"
New Delhi: Saiyaara is shattering box office records, and with its success, a new memefest has taken over social media, featuring the Internet's new obsession, Ahaan Panday. What's Happening A viral post comparing Ahaan Panday and Vedang Raina has caught the attention of fans. The post shows their striking similarities: deep eyes, wavy hair and charismatic smiles. The side-by-side comparison drew parallels to the iconic Raveena Tandon-Twinkle Khanna lookalike trend from the past. The caption read: "Finally, we got the male counterpart of Raveena Tandon-Twinkle Khanna." Fans quickly joined the trend, sharing images from Saiyaara and Vedang's projects, noting how their on-screen presence seems to align. Memes and hashtags like #AhaanVedangTwins flooded X (formerly Twitter), with some users even suggesting a twin-swap plot or a future collaboration between the two actors. Finally we got the male counterpart of Raveena Tandon-Twinkle Khanna — Raymond. (@rayfilm) July 19, 2025 Background Starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, Saiyaara has now become the highest-grossing Hindi film led by debutants. The film collected Rs 83 crore in three days. The film's performance is especially notable considering its lead pair did not participate in traditional promotions ahead of release. Director Mohit Suri explained the decision, comparing it to the approach taken with his 2013 film Aashiqui 2, which also featured relatively fresh faces at the time, Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor. "It was an idea that collectively came forward. My producer Akshaye Widhani and, of course, Aditya Chopra (owner of Yash Raj Films), who has mentored us through this thing, suggested that until the two actors don't have anything behind them to talk about, the conversation will be filled with questions like 'Who is the prankster on the set?' or 'How is it to work with Mohit Suri?' It's all redundant stuff, and I don't think anyone has any interest in listening to all that," Suri said in an interview on the YouTube channel Just Too Filmy. While Saiyaara marks Ahaan Panday's on-screen debut, it is Aneet Padda's first feature film appearance. She previously gained attention for her performance in the Prime Video India series Big Girls Don't Cry last year.
