Saiyaara vs other albums
Mohit Suri's Saiyaara is rewriting records and redefining romance at the box office. Not only has it emerged as the biggest opening for a Bollywood love story, but it's also taking the global music scene by storm—leapfrogging past BLACKPINK and Justin Bieber on Spotify. With its title track topping Spotify's Global Viral 50 chart, Saiyaara has become the first Indian song ever to achieve this feat, making waves far beyond cinema halls and into international playlists.
A significant moment for Indian music on the global scene, the Saiyaara title track, which was sung by Faheem Abdullah and created by Tanishk Bagchi, has surpassed international music heavyweights like Justin Bieber, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, BLACKPINK, and Sabrina Carpenter.
In addition to the title track, the album includes the tracks like Dhun by Mithoon and Arijit Singh, Saiyaara (Reprise) by Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal, Barbaad (Reprise) by Jubin Nautiyal and Shilpa Rao, and Tum Ho Toh by Vishal Mishra.
Tanishk Bagchi wrote in a post on Instagram: "We did it. Saiyaara is now #1 on Global Viral Spotify. This moment belongs to every heartbeat behind the song. Thank you to Mohit Suri sir, the man with the vision. Irshad bhai, for penning words that pierced hearts. Arsalan & Faheem, your music and your voice brought the sky closer. YRF, for backing us with belief. And to every listener, every sharer, every dreamer — this is yours too. Indian music isn't rising. It's already flying. Saiyaara is the proof," he concluded.
Saiyaara's box office collection
As Saiyaara the song conquers global streaming charts, Saiyaara the film is shattering box office records back home. The romantic drama has raked in enormous box office collections since the day of its release.
The movie reportedly made Rs 21 crore on its first day of release and more than Rs 100 crore in the first four days. Saiyaara has made a total of Rs 247.25 crore at home so far. Its chart-topping music, which has now utterly dominated Spotify India's Top 10, is largely responsible for its success.
All About 'Saiyaara'
On July 18, Mohit Suri's film 'Saiyaara' was released in theaters. The movie centers on Krish Kapoor, who aspires to be the biggest singing sensation, and Vaani Batra, who aspires to be a journalist. They fall deeply in love with one another once their worlds collide. But there are some challenges in their love story.
Saiyaara is about the power of love to overcome obstacles. Ahaan Panday is introduced as a YRF hero in the movie. As the new YRF heroine, the studio has hand-picked Aneet Padda, who won hearts with her outstanding performance in the highly acclaimed series Big Girls Do not Cry.

Son of Sardaar 2, Dhadak 2 Movie Review LIVE Updates: Ajay Devgn or Siddhant Chaturvedi's film, which will survive the Saiyaara box office threat?
Son of Sardaar 2, Dhadak 2 Movie Review, Rating and Release Live Updates: It's Friday and two films have hit the big screens. First is Ajay Devgn's return as Jassi in the film Son of Sardaar 2, which is a sequel to his 2012 hit. The second film is Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi's Dhadak 2. These films will have a head-to-head fight for the box office collection where Aneet Padda-Ahaan Pandey's Saiyaara is still going strong. Dhadak 2,a romantic drama, is a written and directed by Shazia Iqbal and produced by Dharma Productions, Zee Studios and Cloud 9 Pictures.

Bollywood director was targeted by gangsters, received training from CID, had to quit films and flee the country to protect himself
Director Rajiv Rai, known for his 1997 film Gupt starring Kajol and Bobby Deol, and Mohra starring Akshay Kumar and Raveena Tandon, faced several threats from gangsters and even an attack at his office when Bollywood was facing a lot of heat from the underworld. He relocated to the UK and has now returned to India. In a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, the director recalled the horrific time in the 90s. He also revealed that the police had asked him to not engage with the underworld calls. They also advised Rai to take training from the CID for precautionary purposes. During the conversation, Rajiv shared, 'The problem happened after Gupt. After that one, I gave two films that weren't upto the mark. So, that was also very troubling for me. I got a call on my landline the next day. Nobody asked for money. I didn't say anything, I never came on call, we never talked. I right away called the police and they asked me to not talk.' He added, 'We had recorders in the office, everything was recorded and sent to the police. I must have said hello on the first call, main samajh gaya yeh galat hai. I spoke for four seconds, then I pretended that I am someone else. I feel that the number of calls I used to get at that time, maksad toh paisa hi hoga (they must want money).' Recalling the attempt of attack at his office in 1997, he was relieved that his bodyguards protected him that day. 'Mere upar attack hua, maine kaam chorra tha (I was attacked after I left work). It happened in my office, I don't talk about it much. They came with guns and bullets. Agar mere aage aate toh main abhi hota hi nahi. I was inside, but my bodyguards were there. Vo bhaage toh darr gaye. It's complicated, chaar neeche, chaar upar, inka mission confusion mein hi kharaab hojaata hai (Lack of planning and confusion spoiled their mission). 90% of the time, the police used to tell me that they misfire professionally,' he said. ALSO READ | Chunky Panday lost Tridev as he haggled over Rs 1-2 lakh, recalls director Rajiv Rai: 'He is a kanjoos, keeps one cigarette so no one borrows it' When asked if he fled the country because of the threats, he answered, 'I went because there was a lot of pressure. My father was very unwell, I had to take care of him. I couldn't afford to die. I thought that agar mujhe goli lagg gayi, toh kaun dhyaan rakhega (My father was unwell, who would have taken care of him)? My son wasn't well, he was autistic and I had to educate him. There were so many threats. So, I had multiple reasons. I thought that I should call it a day, God has given me a little bit of money.' Moreover, the director revealed that he went on to make more money after moving away. 'And, when I didn't work for 20 years, I actually made money through my old films. I made more money, jitna maine unn dino mein nahi banaaya jab main kaam karaha tha (I made less money when I was working). Legally fight has to be you come to my office, we don't even have Rs 5K in cash. Rakhte hi nahi the log.' After receiving the threatening calls, the police advised him to undergo training from the Crime Investigation Department. 'I used to keep visiting after every three months to check on my father. I went to several countries, mujhe police ne bola tha kabhi bolna nahi (police advised that I should never reveal this). When this attack happened, I had to take training,' Rajiv shared. 'So, I used to go to CID for training. Jab phone aaye toh mujhe bola gaya ki training lo. They used to teach kaise gaadi badalni hai, always look over your kuch (When I got the threatening call, I was asked to train. They taught me how to change the car, look over my shoulder… a lot). I had a police permission to cut the red lights, because at that time, they can shoot you when your car stops,' he concluded.
