Saiyaara box office: Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda starrer set to beat Sitaare Zameen Par, Housefull 5 & Raid 2 to emerge as 2nd highest grosser of 2025
Ahaan Panday & Aneet Padda starrer Saiyaara is currently busy shattering records across the nation. The romantic drama has now earned over Rs 20 crore for the sixth consecutive day at the box office and currently stands with a total collection of Rs 155.75 crore.
While _Saiyaara_ has performed beyond expectation, it is now set to surpass the business of Sitaare Zameen Par (Rs 165.01 crore), Housefull 5 (Rs 198.41 crore) & Raid 2 (Rs 179.30 crore), to become the 2nd highest grosser of the year after Vicky Kaushal-Rashmika Mandanna starrer Chhaava (Rs 600.10 crore).
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
Since there is no Bollywood release, apart from Marvel's biggie, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, featuring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Joseph Quinn, Julia Garner, Natasha Lyonne, Paul Walter Hauser, and Ralph Ineson, this Friday, it would be interesting to see how Saiyaara fares in its 2nd week at the ticket windows.
Before the release of the movie, director Mohit Suri spoke about Saiyaara's comparison with Aashiqui 2 in an interview with Firstpost. He said, 'When I made Zeher, they said it looked like Murder. When I made Ek Villain, they said it looked like Murder 2. When I made Malang, they said it looked like Ek Villain. When I made Aashiqui 2, they said it looked like Woh Lame and Rockstar. So I think when I go ahead and make my next film, they'll say it looks like Saiyaara. I think when they're comparing it to my own work rather than somebody else's, it's good.'
Saiyaara is directed by Mohit Suri, known for helming movies like Aashiqui 2, Ek Villain, Awarapan, Kalyug, Zeher, Murder 2, Woh Lamhe, Raaz: The Mystery Continues, Hamari Adhuri Kahani, Half Girlfriend, Crook, Ek Villain Returns & Malang.
Bankrolled by YRF, the movie also features Varun Badola & Rajesh Kumar in supporting roles.

If you are young and this movie made you cry, ask yourself this question
A nomad interested in twisting the kaleidoscope of science and looking for new patterns I am not a movie buff, and hence it takes a lot for a movie to catch my attention. So, Saiyaara is clearly a phenomenon, more so because everyone who saw had the same experience. It appears that Saiyaara is the romantic anthem of recent times, but with a difference. It is making young people CRY. This is what has forced me to dare engage with the most pragmatic and wise people that ever walked the planet, i.e., people who are under 35 today. As I have interacted with them on various platforms, ranging from students of IIM or NID and even state universities, the first thing I have noticed that in any class that I walked in, my students were wiser than me about the ways of the world. I have noticed that my students always knew why they were in the class room. They were there to get a degree and go out to make money. Nothing more, nothing less. If I asked about their dreams, the answer was always the same. They were very clear. They will make money. They will retire. They will travel the world. This may sound completely normal to you if you are young. But, for me, a man from Gen-past, this was a huge surprise because all we could dream of when we were young was to get the girl/guy we were madly in love with. We were clear too. We wanted to our love interest to speak the three magical words of 'I love you'. And that was it. Our colleges led to as much education as heart breaks or moments of bliss when the other person also said, 'I love you'. Reality that money is the prime mover of the world did hit us, but it was a thereafter-realisation that arrived once we had passed the test of love. Due to this (misplaced?) priority for love that we suffered from, we were prone to crying in the romantic movies. So crying in the movies was not an exception but a norm, for our generation. What we know for sure is that your generation is not like us. Even if we try to think otherwise, your generation that doesn't believe in mincing words always makes it clear to us. So, What doesn't make sense is that you are crying!!! And if you are crying, I suggest that you need to introspect and find out why. As I am from a generation where people fell in love without the pragmatism that your generation has, I have a humble proposition for you to consider, especially because we have experienced the power of love. Look within. You could be crying because you too must have loved just like every other generation. The problem is that your realism must have led you to question that feeling using logic. So, while your heart must have gone down head over heels, your cynicism would have made you rationalise it as a stupid waste of time. You would have put your biological love to the test of financial and worldly realities and it would have fared poorly, making you bury it. While you must have forgotten about it and got busy with work and career, knowing love, let me tell you something that I know. The world may have moved on (as per you), but love is a very stubborn and ancient force that never believes in following the world. Love has a job to do which is considered to be of paramount importance by the mother-system called Life-on-Earth. You may want to make marketing presentations and climb the corporate ladder or build a start up and sell it for a billion dollars, but love doesn't care wee bit. All it wants is that you go through the inconvenience of going forth and multiplying just as your ancestors have done continuously for almost four billion years. You may have managed to forget it by being a realist (to your imaginary reality), love will never forget or forgive (as it responds to the actual and the only reality in which you exist as a body). You may or may not have realised it, but what made you cry is the love that you thought you have buried and moved on. But as love never believes in giving up, on itself or you, it is the culprit that would have made you cry. I know that love is tough but you think you are tougher. You may have momentarily lowered your guards, allowing love to surface but now you would be back to your desk calculating Mutual Fund gain of the day. The movie and the emotions you felt would get crushed under your wisdom about how materialistic is the world, but I have a request. Every generation before you has succumbed to love, and you too are here because someone loved. So, what you are trifling with or ignoring is something bigger than everything that humans do while existing on this planet. Love may seem like an inconvenience now, but as you age, you will realise that burying something so potent is a very dangerous idea. Burying it is not going to work. It has not worked for the entire history of humanity and it is, hence, unlikely to work just because you think you are rational. Today it was a temporary angst caused by the movie, tomorrow it will be deep regret as love is the only binding force human brain can have. If you don't bind using love, all that you will end up with is loneliness. This loneliness would by like an abyss that no amount of wealth or travelling will be able to fill. If you do manage your dream of an early retirement, all you would end up will be more lonely time. If you have cried, I see a ray of hope. Love within you is buried but still is alive as an emotion. If you have cried, you have a chance to reclaim it. Think about it. Facebook Twitter Linkedin Email Disclaimer Views expressed above are the author's own.
