Saiyaara Box Office Day 2: Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda's Debut Earns A Smashing Rs 45 Crore

News1820-07-2025
Backed by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara is making waves not just for its impressive box office numbers but also for its unexpected promotional playbook. What makes Saiyaara's strong opening even more surprising is that neither Ahaan nor Aneet had any major visibility before the release. For director Mohit Suri, this could be the comeback he's been waiting for since Ek Villain, which was made on a Rs 39 crore budget and grossed Rs 155 crore worldwide.
Earlier, filmmaker Mahesh had said, 'Every generation has love story that defines it. Saiyaara, to me, will be the most definitive romantic film of this generation. When I made Aashiqui, I did it with a lot of purity and I was fortunate that people connected to it deeply and made the two newcomers into overnight stars. I expect Mohit Suri to do the same with Saiyaara."
The veteran director also said he had always encouraged Mohit to work with newcomers and is happy he teamed up with YRF for Saiyaara. He said, 'I'm thrilled to see him take the plunge with Saiyaara with two really talented actors who are simply sparkling on the screen. I'm also very happy that he has a studio like YRF beside him and behind him for this project, who have such a rich cinematic legacy."
