Box Office: Saiyaara goes on an overdrive on Sunday; Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer collects Rs 30 crore on day 3
The YRF-produced film opened at Rs 21.25 crore on Friday, followed by a jump to Rs 24.50 crore on Saturday, and peaking with Rs 30 crore on Sunday. The three-day total of Saiyaara is estimated to stand at Rs 75.75 crore, and the film is headed to record a strong hold in collections on Monday, as a large chunk of cinema-going audience have pre-booked their tickets for the fourth day due to capacity issues on Sunday.
While the business on day one and day two was dominated by the youth and masses, the family audience have embraced the film on the third day, which is a great sign for the trajectory in long run for the romantic saga. The music has become extremely popular, and the on-ground reports are getting strong by the day, which is an early indication of an unbelievable lifetime number in the long run.
These numbers have come in for rank newcomers, and it's after a while since a newcomer film has set the box office on fire. Saiyaara has successfully established Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda as potential stars in the horizon, and right choices from hereon can give the Gen-Z a new generation of heroes.
These numbers are beyond historic and probably the biggest for a feature film in the post-pandemic world in real terms, as a film devoid of star-power could just hit the Rs 300 crore club in India. This is certainly the beginning of a new era, with romantic films beginning to hit the marque. If the weekend numbers have shocked you, await the weekday results, as we await the magic to hit a new high in the coming few days. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates!

Son Of Sardaar 2 Vs Dhadak 2 Box Office Collection Day 3: Check Who Leads The Race
New Delhi: August witnessed a major box office clash between two high-profile sequels: Son of Sardaar 2, starring Ajay Devgn, and Dhadak 2, featuring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri. Both films premiered on Friday, August 1, setting the stage for a dramatic Bollywood face-off. Strong Start for 'Son of Sardaar 2' Son of Sardaar 2, the sequel to the 2012 action-comedy hit, has taken an early lead. The film collected Rs 9.25 crore on its third day, bringing its total India net collection to Rs 24.75 crore over the weekend. Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the film follows the story of a man who pretends to be a decorated war hero to help a couple gain their conservative parents' approval for marriage. With a mix of comedy, action, and emotion, the film has resonated well with mass audiences. Mukul Dev's Final Performance The film also holds emotional significance, as it marks the final on-screen appearance of veteran actor Mukul Dev, who passed away on May 23, 2025. His portrayal in the film has been widely praised and is being remembered as a poignant farewell by fans and colleagues. The cast includes Sanjay Mishra, Neeru Bajwa, Chunky Panday, Kubbra Sait, Deepak Dobriyal, and others, blending mainstream Bollywood with Punjabi cinema flair. The film was initially slated for release on July 25 but was delayed to August 1. 'Dhadak 2' Box Office In contrast, Dhadak 2 has had a more modest start. The film earned Rs 4.15 crore on its third day, with a total India net of Rs 11.4 crore across the weekend. A spiritual sequel to the 2018 romance Dhadak, this installment tackles a more socially charged narrative. Siddhant Chaturvedi plays Nilesh, a law student from a marginalised community, who falls in love with Vidhi (Triptii Dimri), a girl from an upper-caste background. As their relationship grows, Nilesh faces increasing harassment from Vidhi's family, who view the relationship as a threat to their so-called honour. Critical vs Commercial Appeal While Dhadak 2 has been praised for addressing caste-based discrimination and showcasing strong performances, it appears to be drawing a niche audience. On the other hand, Son of Sardaar 2 seems to be enjoying broader commercial success with its mass-friendly blend of humour and action. What's Next at the Box Office? With both films still early in their theatrical run, the coming days will determine whether Dhadak 2 can gain momentum through positive word-of-mouth, or if Son of Sardaar 2 will continue to dominate the August box office. FAQs Q1. When were Son of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2 released? Both films hit theatres on August 1, 2025, sparking a high-profile box office clash. Q2. What genre is Son of Sardaar 2? A: It's a comedy-action entertainer featuring Ajay Devgn in a quirky lead role. Q3. Who stars in Dhadak 2? The film features Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri in lead roles. Q4. Why is Son of Sardaar 2 significant? It marks the final on-screen performance of veteran actor Mukul Dev, who passed away in May 2025.
