The film is expected to enter the Top 25 Hindi films soon. In an industry where box office numbers often define a film's legacy, Mohit Suri 's Saiyaara has etched its name in the annals of Hindi cinema by becoming the 26th highest-grossing Hindi film ever. With an India net collection of Rs 248.43 crore in just 10 days, the film has outpaced major star-driven releases like Shah Rukh Khan 's Dunki (Rs 227 crore) and Ajay Devgn 's Singham Again (Rs 247.86 crore). Mohit Suri Spills On 20 Years In Bollywood - Ahaan & Aneet, Alia Bhatt Dream Collab & More Starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda , Saiyaara was initially viewed as a promising debut vehicle. But what followed was a box office phenomenon that not only defied expectations but also reaffirmed the power of storytelling and music-driven romance. Under the deft direction of Mohit Suri and backed by a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack, Saiyaara struck a chord with audiences across metros and mass belts alike. Released with solid buzz, Saiyaara opened with an impressive Rs 21.5 crore on its first Friday. What truly stunned the trade was the film's phenomenal growth over the opening weekend — Rs 26 crore on Saturday and a massive Rs 35.75 crore on Sunday.

What makes Saiyaara's feat more remarkable is that it achieved this position with debutant actors in lead roles,something of this stature was seen about 25 years ago when Hrithik Roshan made his debut with Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai which had made about Rs 44 crore back in 2000. If inflation is adjusted it would made about Rs 200 crore now.

Mahesh Bhatt claims Parveen Babi should have withdrawn from Bollywood due to her ‘spiralling into madness'
Mahesh Bhatt and Parveen Babi 's relationship is not hidden from anyone. The actress was dealing with her mental health concerns even at the time. But since it was during the 1970s, Babi was never really formally diagnosed. During a recent interview, the filmmaker spoke about how she should have withdrawn from the industry as she had a physiological vulnerability. Despite that, she was trying to fit herself back into the competitive world. Mahesh Bhatt recalls Parveen Babi's final days In the Himanshu Mehta Show, Mahesh Bhatt recalled Parveen Babi's final days. He claimed that despite her vulnerable condition, she couldn't distance herself from the limelight. The filmmaker revealed that all attempts were made to make the late actress realise that once she had that kind of breakdowns, there was no way she should try to fit herself back in this fiercely competitive space. Mahesh further added, 'But I think once you have tasted this business, the high of the arc lights, it's very difficult to turn your back on it. But what happened to her was an unimaginable tragedy.' Mahesh Bhatt recalls Parveen Babi's last words In the same interview, Mahesh Bhatt also spoke about Parveen Babi's last words, which were 'dar lagta hai' (I feel scared). He also revealed that though she always showed only the glamorous side to the world, she was a simple woman at heart. 'Behind closed doors, she was a simple woman from Junagadh, Gujarat, who wanted to put oil in her hair and cook food at home. But the clothes she used to wear were very glamorous, so that she looked like a superstar. But on the inside, she was a simple girl.' Mahesh Bhatt on Parveen Babi's past life Earlier in an interview with BBC News Hindi, Mahesh shared that Parveen rarely mentioned her past marriage, but the topic occasionally surfaced during visits from her mother, who came from Junagadh.

Dhanush Says Aanand L Rai Invested Own Money To Cast Him In Raanjhanaa: 'They Didn't Have Budget'
Last Updated: Dhanush reveals he nearly turned down Raanjhanaa due to budget issues, and shares how director Aanand L Rai personally backed him to play Kundan. Dhanush might be a big name in Tamil cinema, but back in 2013, when he was gearing up for his Bollywood debut with Raanjhanaa, things weren't exactly smooth sailing. In fact, he nearly walked away from the film altogether. The actor recently looked back on the film during a special fan screening celebrating its 12th anniversary. While Raanjhanaa became a cult favourite over the years, Dhanush admitted that he was close to saying no – and it all came down to the budget. 'At that time, they didn't have the right kind of budget for hiring me as the lead actor. But this man's (Aanand L Rai) passion was so strong that he just wanted me to play Kundan. He could have offered any actor this part and they would have happily come on board. After all, it's such a great part," Dhanush shared, as quoted in SCREEN. The part he's talking about – Kundan – was a lovestruck Varanasi boy whose obsession and heartbreak eventually pull him into the world of politics. According to him, director Aanand L Rai had to take a big risk to make it happen. 'He went against all odds. I don't know I am supposed to say this and I don't care! He invested his own money as well. He went all out (to cast me). He saw Kundan in me and he stayed true to his vision," Dhanush said. Even for a seasoned performer like Dhanush, the pressure was real. He revealed that stepping into the Hindi film world brought a kind of fear he hadn't experienced before. 'I was not scared during my first film. When I was written off, I was not scared. That's how I am. But for the first time, I was scared. I felt responsible. So, I was praying so hard to God that 'Somehow save this man,'" he said, reflecting on the weight of expectations. In the end, the gamble paid off. Raanjhanaa clicked with audiences and critics alike. 'They made a cult classic. It is not the story of Kundan and Zoya. It is the story of two mad men who believed in this," Dhanush added. The film also starred Sonam Kapoor, Abhay Deol, Swara Bhaskar and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub, and became a defining moment in Aanand L Rai's directorial career. Since Raanjhanaa, Dhanush and Aanand L Rai have teamed up again, including in the 2021 film Atrangi Re, and are working together on Tere Ishq Mein – a film Rai has said is set in 'the same world as Raanjhanaa."
