The film's prospects have further brightened with the recent postponement of Son of Sardaar 2 to August 1. With no major releases lined up next weekend, Saiyaara is expected to enjoy an uninterrupted two-week run, making it a strong contender to overtake , Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par (Rs 165.49 crore), and even Ajay Devgn's Raid 2 (Rs 173.44 crore).
The year's top grosser so far is Chhava with Rs 585.7 crore, followed by Housefull 5 (Rs 183.38 crore). With strong weekday collections and a solid second weekend, Saiyaara could realistically aim for the #2 spot, which would be a historic feat for a film led by newcomers.
In an industry where legacy names and IP-driven franchises dominate, Saiyaara proves that compelling storytelling, fresh casting, and heartfelt music still have the power to captivate audiences and rewrite the box office narrative.

Ajay Devgn's 'Drishyam' has become one of Bollywood's most talked-about suspense-thriller franchises, with both previous parts achieving major box office success. Fans are now eagerly awaiting the third installment. Meanwhile, the original Malayalam version, directed by Jeethu Joseph, is also in the works. Though filming has not yet begun, the director recently cleared the air regarding rumors that the Hindi version will start shooting first. What did Jeethu Joseph say? In a recent conversation with Mathrubhumi, Jeethu Joseph confirmed that the Malayalam version holds priority since it's the original story. He revealed that there was a proposal to shoot both the Hindi and Malayalam versions simultaneously, but no final decision has been made. Initially, the Hindi makers had planned to begin their shoot earlier, but that idea was dropped after a legal warning was hinted at. Joseph emphasized that the story belongs to the Malayalam team and any breach could lead to legal consequences. When the filming of Drishyam 3 commence? Jeethu Joseph further stated that he is currently focused on completing the screenplay. The Malayalam version of 'Drishyam 3' is set to begin filming in October 2025 and only after that will work on the Hindi version resume. Speaking at an event, Joseph said, 'I finished writing the climax just last night. It's been weighing on me for a long time, but I'm glad to have wrapped it up.' About the 'Drishyam' Universe The franchise began in 2013 with the Malayalam film 'Drishyam' starring Mohanlal. It tells the intense story of a simple man named Georgekutty, whose life turns upside down after a police officer's son goes missing. The gripping narrative and emotional depth of the film earned it massive praise and led to remakes in several languages: Kannada (2014) with V. Ravichandran, Telugu with Venkatesh Daggubati, Tamil (2015) with Kamal Haasan, and the Hindi version with Ajay Devgn, which added its own unique flavor to the storyline. Now, as both Malayalam and Hindi fans await the next chapter, it's clear that the third part will again aim to keep audiences guessing till the very end.
