Aamir Khan Congratulates Saiyaara Team, Cheers For Ahaan Panday And Aneet Padda
Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda has been winning hearts with their performance in debut film Saiyaara. The romantic drama is going strong at the box office
Aamir Khan congratulated the Saiyaara team on its remarkable theatrical success. The coming-of-age romantic drama, which marks the debut of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has struck a chord with audiences. Aamir Khan's production house shared a congratulatory note praising debutants' performance.
Taking to their Instagram stories, Aamir Khan Productions shared the congratulatory note and praised the team. 'Congratulations to the entire team of Saiyaara on its remarkable theatrical success! Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda shine in their debut with such grace and depth. Mohit Suri brings his signature intensity and passion to the film, and full credit to YRF for championing this melodious and heartfelt story," it read. Many celebrities including Karan Johar, Arjun Kapoor, Shraddha Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Sharvari and others have congratulated the team.
Saiyaara collected an estimated Rs 22.50 crore on Day 4, bringing its total to Rs 106 crore, according to Sacnilk.com. Released on July 18, the film opened to a massive Rs 25 crore (approx. $2.9 million) on Day 1 in India. As per figures shared by YRF, nearly 9.75 lakh people watched the film in theatres on its opening day—making it the biggest opening day for a Hindi film led by debutants. It beat the previous record set by Dhadak (Rs 8.76 crore) in 2018.
In fact, Saiyaara also emerged as the highest opening day earner for a romantic film in recent years, surpassing Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (Rs 11.1 crore), Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (Rs 6.7 crore), Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar (Rs 15.73 crore), and Kabir Singh (Rs 20.21 crore).
Remarkably, the film achieved all this with just 8,000 screenings across India, less than half the usual count for films of this scale. Despite the limited show count, many theatres reported houseful shows in major cities.
Globally, Saiyaara raked in $11.9 million over its opening weekend, placing it at number 9 on the global box office chart, per Comscore. The Indian weekend gross was $6.6 million, with the final tally expected to go higher.
On the work front, Aamir's Sitaare Zameen Par minted around Rs 165 crore Net in India after a month of its release. Directed by RS Prasanna, the film also featured Genelia D'Souza in the lead.
The film follows the story of Gulshan Arora, a suspended basketball coach who, as part of his community service, is assigned to train a team of neurodivergent adults. Initially, Gulshan is reluctant, but through his interactions with the team, he learns empathy and discovers a new perspective on life.
