For Saiyaara to emerge as the biggest opener in the love story genre is an incredible feat, mainly because it features two newcomers, who are yet to leave a mark. The audiences in the post-pandemic world, don't turn up till they are enticed by the film's units.

Still, nothing explains it emerging as the number one film in the love story genre.
Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Continues To Have Highest Footfalls Among Films In This List; Its Gross Collections Remain Higher Than Saiyaara
In terms of first day footfalls, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani still has the highest footfalls from films in this list. Infact, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani's gross collections are higher than Saiyaara, as back in 2013, tax rates were close to 30 percent and now they are around 20 percent.
Saiyaara Has Strong Day 2 Bookings
Saiyaara's bookings for day 2 are strong and another Rs 20 crore plus day is on the cards. Infact, there won't be any surprise if it comes close to Rs 25 crore net too. In short, the film is a box office hurricane which won't stop soon.

Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha were set to work in this superhit film, Rekha rejected the film due to..., Dharmendra's heroine got the role, name is....
Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha were set to work in this superhit film, Rekha rejected the film due to..., Dharmendra's heroine got the role, name is.... In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, it's the success and box office hit of a film that makes it to the spotlight. However, what happens behind the surface, the backstory, is a lot more than what meets the eye. One such similar tale is of a blockbuster film of Amitabh Bachchan that was released in the year 1982. While the film earned major success and the pairing of the leads was widely hailed and appreciated, the original casting had a different actress in the lead initially. Satte Pe Satta: A Blockbuster Hit The film that we are talking about is none other than Satte Pe Satta. Released in 1982, this film was one of the biggest blockbusters of that year. Made on a humble budget of Rs 2.18 crore, it earned Rs 7 lakh on its first day and slowly picked up the pace by ultimately collecting Rs 4 crore at the box office. This film turned out to be the highest-grossing film of the year. However, what many people don't know is that Hema Malini was pregnant with Esha Deol during the shoot of this film. Initially, she was reluctant to do the role; however, it was only after Amitabh's request that she agreed to play the part. She finally signed up for the role and became Amitabh's co-star. Even in the Pariyon Ka Mela Hai, her styling was done cleverly to hide her baby bump. Who Was The First Choice As the female lead before Hema Malini? Adding to the intrigue, it wasn't Hema Malini but Rekha who had the first choice for the female lead role opposite Amitabh. However, for some unknown reason, Rekha had to step away from the project, and Hema Malini stepped into her shoes and came on board. Besides that, Praveen Babi was also signed up for a role, but due to health conditions, she couldn't make it to the film. The plot of Satte Pe Satte revolved around seven unruly brothers and their transformation. The film's story struck a chord with the audience and made a record with its massive box office collection.

Saiyaara star Aneet Padda juggled auditions and DU exams. Director was sure she will fail exams. But she proved him wrong
About Aneet's education About Saiyaara While Aneet Padda 's rise to stardom may seem like a dream run, director Mohit Suri recently revealed just how casually the young actor balanced auditions with academics—and still nailed both. Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, Suri recalled her effortless approach during her early auditions for Saiyaara He recalled that the first audition he saw of Aneet Padda was a self-tape on a mobile phone. Later, she was called for a proper audition. According to the director, Aneet used to visit, give her auditions and then go back to give her exams. What baffled Suri even more was her calmness. He even asked her once if she failed, but she replied casually, 'No, I passed.'Aneet's quiet confidence and grounded energy can be traced back to her roots. Born in Amritsar, Punjab, she completed her schooling at Spring Dale Senior School and later pursued a degree in humanities from Jesus and Mary College, Delhi University . Her early brush with the entertainment world came through advertisement commercials in Mumbai, which, as per Yash Raj Films, laid the foundation for her entry into making waves in Saiyaara, Aneet had already begun to carve a space for herself in the industry. She made her Bollywood debut with a minor role in Salaam Venky (2022), starring Kajol. In 2024, she gained further recognition with her portrayal of Roohi in Amazon Prime Video's Big Girls Don't Cry , where she starred alongside Pooja Bhatt and Raima Sen. Her performance resonated with Gen Z audiences and earned her critical praise, cementing her position as a promising new voice in the Padda's breakout moment couldn't have come with a bigger stage. Saiyaara, the romantic drama that marks her big-screen debut alongside fellow newcomer Ahaan Pandey, has emerged as one of the biggest surprises of the year, not just for its emotional storytelling, but for its historic box office numbers. Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Yash Raj Films, the film has shattered expectations, collecting a massive ₹83 crore in India during its opening weekend makes Saiyaara's success truly remarkable is that it achieved these numbers without the pull of major stars or the boost of a holiday release. The film now holds the record for the biggest-ever opening day for a debutant-led movie, and it has also become Mohit Suri's most successful opener to date. In an era where romantic films often struggle to find their footing at the box office, Saiyaara has not only struck a chord with audiences but also redefined what a love story fronted by fresh faces can achieve. For Aneet, the film's soaring popularity has only amplified the buzz around her emotionally resonant performance as Vaani Batra, a young writer facing early-onset Alzheimer's disease.
