Mohit Suri, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's ‘Saiyaara' becomes 16th biggest hit of Hindi cinema surpassing Salman Khan's ‘Sultan' and Deepika Padukone's ‘Padmaavat'
Saiyaara, starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda and directed by Mohit Suri, has achieved remarkable success, grossing Rs 302.25 crore in 18 days. The romantic drama has surpassed blockbusters like Padmaavat and Sultan, becoming the 16th highest-grossing Hindi film. This triumph marks a significant comeback for Suri and establishes Panday and Padda as promising talents in Bollywood. In what can only be described as a dream launch for Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda and a triumphant comeback for director Mohit Suri , Saiyaara has stormed its way into Bollywood's elite box office club. With a staggering Rs 302.25 crore in just 18 days, the romantic drama has now become the 16th highest-grossing Hindi film of all time, surpassing even blockbuster biggies like Padmaavat and Sultan. Mohit Suri Spills On 20 Years In Bollywood - Ahaan & Aneet, Alia Bhatt Dream Collab & More The film opened to a solid Rs 21.5 crore on its first Friday, but it was the weekend that truly catapulted its fortunes. With Rs 26 crore on Saturday and a staggering Rs 35.75 crore on Sunday, Saiyaara raked in Rs 172.75 crore in its opening week — one of the most impressive debut weeks in recent memory. While the second week did witness a typical drop, the collections remained steady with Rs 107.75 crore coming in. The third weekend showed resilience, with strong Saturday (Rs 6.75 crore) and Sunday (Rs 8 crore) numbers, and even Monday held with Rs 2.5 crore, taking the 18-day total to Rs 302.25 crore. By crossing the Rs 300 crore mark, Saiyaara has dethroned blockbusters like Ranveer Singh , Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor's Padmaavat ( Rs 302.15 ) and Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma led Sultan ( Rs 300 .45 ) crore. If the film holds steady into its fourth weekend it can challenge films like War, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Tiger Zinda Hai. The film's success also marks an emphatic return to form for director Mohit Suri, whose previous outings had seen lukewarm receptions. With Saiyaara, he revisits the emotional storytelling that once defined hits like Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villain.
