Top Opening Weekend 2025: Saiyaara takes the 2nd spot surpassing Housefull 5, Sikandar and Raid 2; Chhaava retains top position
Mohit Suri's Saiyaara starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda is wrecking the box office. After a phenomenal Rs 21 crore day 1, Saiyaara grew by close to 20 percent to net Rs 25 crore on Saturday. It added another mindboggling Rs 35-36 crore net on Sunday, to take the weekend to Rs 81-82 crore net. This is a debut of a kind we have not seen, nor shall we see in the next few years. Saiyaara Takes A Magnificent Rs 81.50 Crore Net Opening Weekend; Makes A Mockery Of Pre-Release Expectations Saiyaara made a mockery of all pre-release predictions, and by a margin. There were numbers like Rs 3 - 4 crore net floating in the trade circle for the opening day, with few expecting an under Rs 3 crore number. For the film to open 7 times as much only proves how unpredictable box office can be. The unpredictability of the film is far from over as the bookings for not just Monday, but also Tuesday are historic. With Son Of Sardaar 2 postponing, the film has yet another open week to keep the cash registers ringing. Saiyaara Takes The 2nd Best India Net Opening Weekend Start For A Bollywood Movie This Year Coming back to analysing the India net weekend of Saiyaara, it has taken the 2nd best opening weekend for a Bollywood movie of 2025. The collections of the film are just under Chhaava, which opened to Rs 108 crore net and legged to Rs 550 crore plus. Housefull 5, Sikandar, Sky Force, Sitaare Zameen Par and Raid 2 follow suit.

Box Office: Saiyaara surprises overseas with USD 2 million weekend; Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda leave a mark globally
Just like India, Saiyaara worked its magic abroad as well, going from strength to strength over its opening weekend, collecting nearly USD 2 million. Combined with Rs. 98 crore approx. in India, the YRF musical love story grossed Rs. 115 crore worldwide through Sunday. The film started off with USD 450K on Friday, from where one would normally expect a weekend of USD 1.25 million or so. This film, however, surprised with a phenomenal trend. It saw a strong surge in business on Saturday, collecting USD 650K. On Sunday, films normally drop off a bit, rarely some remain flat, and even rarely some manage to grow. This film, however, exploded on Sunday, earning almost double its Friday biz. The growth was all across the board, from North America in the West to Australia in the East. In the Middle East, where Sunday is actually a working day, the film showed an extraordinary hold with business on par with Saturday. From this weekend, the film should be eyeing a finish of over USD 6 million. However, with the unconventional trend the film has shown till now, it's tough to say how high it can go. The business shall remain elevated for the next couple of days on weekdays as well, and then there may be some stabilisation, after which we will get a better idea of its closing. The Territorial Breakdown of Saiyaara Overseas Box Office is as follows: Middle East: USD 650K US: USD 450K UK: USD 260K Canada: USD 225K Australia / New Zealand: USD 120K Rest of world: USD 200K Total: USD 1.90 million Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates!

Popular Star Kid: Meet Mahesh Babu-Namrata Shirodkar's 22-year-old niece Anoushka Ranjit who's a budding lawyer and a fashionista
Bigg Boss 18 participant and actress Shilpa Shirodkar 's daughter Anoushka Ranjit turned heads when she made a rare appearance on national television as she came to visit her mother in the house-based reality show. Besides this, the young lady occasionally makes her presence known in social media posts shared by her aunt, Namrata Shirodkar, as well as cousins Sitara and Gautam Ghattamaneni. In this article, we will learn a little more about her. Who is Anoushka Ranjit? Born in 2003, Anoushka Ranjit is the daughter of Bollywood actress Shilpa Shirodkar and her UK-based banker husband Aparesh Ranjit. The couple had tied the knot in 2000. For the uninitiated, Shilpa took a hiatus from films soon after her marriage, when she relocated to London and started her family. It wasn't until 13 years later that the actress resumed work and relocated back to Mumbai. Anoushka Ranjit's educational qualifications Anoushka Ranjit pursued her high school diploma from the North London Collegiate School Dubai. She then bagged an MA Honors degree in International Relations and Modern History from the University of St Andrews. Currently, she's pursuing a course in law from the University of Law in London. Besides her academic track record, Anoushka Ranjit also happens to be a young entrepreneur at the age of 22. She is the co-founder of Pulse Creative Collective, a student-run company providing event services based in St Andrews, London. This collective hosts numerous community-driven events, radio shows, magazines, and other creative endeavors within a span of less than a year. When it comes to her social media presence, Anoushka Ranjit appears to be quite an experimentalist when it comes to her fashion choices. Much like her cousin and Mahesh Babu 's daughter, Sitara Ghattamaneni, Anoushka has also showcased a flair for unmatched styling and versatile outfits. Anoushka Ranjit's close family relations Additionally, her social media is also proof of her close and loving bond with her family members, including her aunt and uncle, Namrata Shirodkar and Mahesh Babu, as well as her cousins, Sitara and Gautam, and parents, Shilpa Shirodkar and Aparesh Ranjit. The 22-year-old is also an avid traveler, and it is often that she shares glimpses of her many vacations, which are either solo trips or joined by her family members.
