Time of India5 days ago
'Saiyaara' has just left everyone shocked and surprised with its box office number. Just in the span of 4 days, the film is nearing towards Rs 100 crore at the domestic box office, thus has surpassed the film's budget which was Rs 45 crore as per reports.
'Saiyaara' has become the highest grossing opening weekend love story in Hindi cinema, with debutants. The film continues to lure the crowd as the Monday number also is expected to be good.
The film's success is largely thanks to its strong connection with younger audiences, who have responded warmly to its emotional depth and storytelling. Saiyaara also brought
Ahaan Panday
and
Aneet Padda
into limelight and they have received widespread praise for their powerful performances and natural chemistry. But do you know what 'Saiyaara' really means and why the makers gave this name to their movie?
Rooted in both Urdu and Arabic, the word traditionally refers to a star or planet that moves across the sky.
In Arabic, it implies continuous movement or rotation. In Urdu, it suggests a star, solitary yet radiant, one that travels alone but lights up the world around it.
Yash Raj Films and
Mohit Suri
chose the title for its poetic and emotional depth, aiming to reflect themes of longing, eternal love, and emotional distance. The makers also tried to describe it in the official trailer of the film that, 'Saiyaara means a lonely star among the stars. Who by herself illuminates the whole world, you are my Saiyaara.'
The film's music and title track also have gotten a solid response and remain a major character, thus adding to its reception at the box office.

Box Office: Mahavatar Narsimha surprises on day one in Hindi; Animated film nets Rs 1.10 crore

Mahavatar Narsimha, directed by Ashwin Kumar and produced by Hombale Films, has surprised one and all at the Hindi box office. The dubbed animated movie from the south of India, has made its presence amply felt in the Hindi belt if the day 1 collections are anything to go by. The movie based on the 4th avatar of Lord Vishnu has opened to a pleasant Rs 1.10 crore net in Hindi for the opening day, and this is with low-lying promotions. Mahavatar Narsimha Has Opened Well In Hindi Despite Strong Holdover Competition Mahavatar Narsimha is obviously doing well in its home market, but for it to make in-grounds in Hindi with minimal promotions, and purely on the basis of the film's units is commendable. One must not forget that a blockbuster movie like Saiyaara is already retaining the lion share of screens and then there also is the Hollywood biggie The Fantastic Four: First Steps, with its share of premium screens. The Day Wise Hindi Net India Collections Of Mahavatar Narsimha Are As Under If Mahavatar Narsimha's Weekend Momentum Transcends Into The Weekdays, A Major Success Is On The Cards For Hombale Films The advance bookings for the movie are very strong and so is the initial reception. If the momentum of the movie transcends to the weekdays, a theatrical hit shall be in contention; a rarity in today's time. It is even more rare for an animated movie to emerge a hit in India because animated films are seen as something just for the kids, by most. The highest grossing animated movie in India has a net lifetime total of under Rs 50 crore. The twin Lion King movies have not been considered because they look and feel like live-action films. On the other hand, the same animated movies wreck the box office in US/Canada with a few of them going on to even hit USD 600 million; something that only a handful of movies have really been able to manage. Recently, even China showed the potential of an appreciated animated flick. Ne Zha 2 grossed around 2 billion dollars in just the Middle Kingdom, proving that the 'taboo' is only in India. Can Mahavatar Narsimha Make Animation Be Seen As A Serious Business In India? One would hope that films like Mahavatar Narsimha make animation be looked at as a serious business in India. If this movie manages to breakout, the potential of the Mahavatar Universe will increase many folds. Mahavatar Narsimha In Theatres

Hari Hara Veera Mallu Implodes on Day 2: Pawan Kalyan delivers another box office dud

Telugu film Hari Hara Veera Mallu has imploded at the box office, collapsing on its second day after a dismal opening. The Pawan Kalyan starrer period epic grossed a pathetic Rs. 9.50 crore approx on Friday in India, an eye-watering 80 per cent drop from Rs. 49.50 crore it did on its opening day. The two-day running total of the film stands at Rs. 59 crore approx. Things are even worse overseas, where the first day itself was a washout and it barely had any collection on Friday, bringing in just USD 175K (Rs. 1.50 crore) for a USD 1.35 million (Rs. 11.50 crore) cume. The worldwide box office tally stands at Rs. 70 crore approx; it is quite likely to wrap up under Rs. 100 crore. Hari Hara Veera Mallu is yet another box office turkey delivered by Pawan Kalyan, who is arguably the biggest star in the Telugu states but hasn't delivered a box office winner in more than a decade. There was a Bheemla Nayak, which did decently well, but was unlucky to release in the circumstances it did and ended up from being a success. The film is also a setback for the Telugu film industry, which is having a horrific year at the box office, except for a couple of weeks of Sankranti Vashthunam during the holiday period. The last year was also a bad one in general, but there were four major hits spread across the year. This year has offered nothing. It is also turning out to be a nightmare of a year for Mega family heroes, with Ram Charan delivering one of the biggest disasters ever in Indian cinema earlier in January and now Pawan Kalyan has joined it. Next up is Vishwambara, starring Chiranjeevi, whose teaser met with such an underwhelming reception that its release had to be delayed. How that film is going to fare, one can only imagine.
