Saiyaara Box Office Day 12: Ahaan Panday's Debut Earns Rs 9.5 Cr On Tuesday, Eyes Rs 300 Cr
Last Updated: Saiyaara continues its golden run at the box office, collecting Rs 9.5 crore on Day 12. The film nears Rs 300 crore, OTT release now delayed. Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara is showing no signs of slowing down. The romantic drama, directed by Mohit Suri, continues its triumphant box office run by earning Rs 9.50 crore (early estimates) on its second Tuesday, Day 12. The film had collected Rs 9.25 crore on Monday, indicating strong weekday retention. As per early estimates by Sacnilk, the film's total domestic box office collection now stands at a staggering Rs 266 crore. Having crossed the Rs 200 crore mark in just nine days, Saiyaara is now eyeing the Rs 300 crore club—an impressive feat for a film led by newcomers. The film, which released on July 18, 2025, started modestly but quickly gained momentum thanks to strong word-of-mouth and a deeply emotional storyline. It follows the journey of Krish Kapoor, a struggling musician, and Vaani Batra, a soulful poet, as they navigate themes of love, loss, and healing. The chemistry between Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda has been widely praised, marking a successful debut for both actors.

The emotional depth of the film, combined with Mohit Suri's signature storytelling style, has helped Saiyaara emerge as one of 2025's biggest surprises. According to The Times of India, Netflix has acquired the OTT rights for Saiyaara. However, due to its ongoing theatrical success, the digital premiere has been postponed closer to Diwali. This strategic delay is expected to give the film a longer theatrical shelf life and cater to a wider festive audience once it hits streaming platforms. With steady weekday collections and strong weekend potential, Saiyaara is poised for an even bigger box office haul in the coming days. If the current momentum continues, the film could become one of the highest-grossing romantic dramas of all time. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Saiyaara box office collection day 12: Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda starrer becomes India's biggest love story, crosses Rs...
Directed by Mohit Suri and led by newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, Saiyaara has done what few love stories ever have: earned over Rs 400 crore globally. With a domestic gross of Rs 318 crore and a net earning of Rs 260.25 crore in India alone, it's more than just a commercial success; it's a phenomenon. Saiyaara broke multiple records In just 11 days, Saiyaara overtook Kabir Singh to become the highest-grossing romantic film in Indian cinema. The Shahid Kapoor-Kiara Advani film had earlier set the bar with Rs 387 crore worldwide, but Saiyaara crossed that in nearly a quarter of the time. Nope. It had already outperformed Kabir Singh during its opening weekend with Rs 83.25 crore net in India, compared to Kabir Singh's Rs 70 crore. That's not all, Saiyaara also recorded the biggest ever opening for a film headlined by debut actors. How strong was the film's release day? Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's launch vehicle opened to Rs 21.50 crore on day one in India. The last record for a debut pair belonged to Dhadak (Rs 8.76 crore) back in 2018. Even compared to Hrithik Roshan's Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai and Abhishek Bachchan's Refugee from 2000, Saiyaara, stands tall, making it the biggest day-one ticket-seller among debut films in 25 years. What helped Saiyaara capture hearts so quickly? The music. Saiyaara's soul-stirring soundtrack played a huge role in its massive reach. With hits like the title track Saiyaara, Barbaad, Humsafar, and Dhun, the album turned into a chart-topping playlist. Composed by a diverse group including Tanishk Bagchi, Mithoon, Vishal Mishra, The Rish, Faheem Abdullah, Arslan Nizami, and Sachet-Parampara, and penned by Irshad Kamil and Raj Shekhar, the soundtrack follows Mohit Suri's long-standing tradition of music-driven storytelling. With more records possibly in sight and strong word-of-mouth keeping the box office alive, Saiyaara may soon become more than just a love story; it could be a landmark moment for new-gen Bollywood.
