Saiyaara Advance Booking Update: Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's musical breaks loose with HISTORIC presales; Sells 90000 tickets in top chains with 1 day to go
Saiyaara Sells Over 90,000 Tickets In Top Chains With A Day And An Hour To Release Day
The advance bookings point towards an opening in the north of Rs 15 crore and perhaps even Rs 20 crore. If the Mohit Suri film doesn't hit Rs 20 crore, that will be because of its limited release. The film is releasing in 1,750 screens in India while a film doing Rs 20 crore or more on day 1, generally has 3,500 or more screens. The makers are perhaps cautious and are focusing more on the occupancy than the collections. It is better to have a full theatre than a theatre with less occupancy.
Saiyaara Has Discount Offers But...
There is a discount offer for the first day. But these coupons can boost the film's numbers by a maximum of Rs 1-2 crore and not more. There are many films that opt for this offer but that doesn't mean that all of them get the collections they desire. Release rival Tanvi: The Great has a running discount offer too but there will be a stark difference in the opening day of both the films.
Saiyaara's Bookings Are Unprecedented
What we are seeing for Saiyaara is truly something you don't see too often. A phenomenon like this for a debutant was last seen during Refugee, which was a record opener. While Saiyaara won't be a record opener, it's impact shall be seen as no less than the Abhishek Bachchan film because getting people to theatres is more difficult than it has ever been.
Saiyaara In Theatres
Saiyaara hits theatres on 18th July. Advance bookings are now open. You can book tickets, either from the box office or from online ticketing applications. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more box office updates.

This 2 hour 29 minute thriller has 6.9 IMDb rating, earned Rs 880 crore, now trending on OTT, film is..,lead actors are… In the ever-evolving world of cinema, many films come and go. With every Friday release and overload of content on OTT, the audience is spoilt for choice. But among the array of options, some rare gems stand out for their fresh storyline and impeccable performance of the actors. One such similar tale is of a 2-hour-29-minute cinematic rollercoaster that kept the audience glued to the screen, making them think what's coming next. Stree 2: A Blockbuster The film that we are talking about is none other than Stree 2. This 2-hour-29-minute thriller drama features Rajkummar Rao and Shraddha Kapoor in the lead. Accompanying them are powerhouse performers like Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurana, and Abhishek Banerjee in crucial roles that add depth, humour, and intrigue to the plot. The film is both entertaining and has a touch of fear. What is the Plot of Stree 2? The story is set in the background of a village named Chanderi in Madhya Pradesh. The plot shows locals believe in a legend involving a mysterious spirit of a woman who appears during a specific four-day festival each year. During this time, if a woman calls a man by his name and he turns back, he disappears mysteriously. The foundation of this film is based on this haunting superstition. How Much Did Stree 2 Earn? On the other hand, RajKummar Rao, who is a tailor, falls in love with a mysterious woman who has a powerhouse, portrayed by Shraddha Kapoor. She visits the village during the same festival every year but vanishes as suddenly as she appears. Rajkumar and his friends end up thinking that Shraddha Kapoor's character is the spirit who has been troubling the villagers for years. What comes next keeps the audience hooked and guessing. Stree 2 is a blend of thrilling suspense with sharp humour. From unexpected twists and turns to a compelling plot, this film is intriguing and leaves people curious. The first sequel of Stree was released seven years ago, which was a critical and commercial success. Made on a humble budget, it earned Rs. 180 crore. Seeing the great response, the makers came with a sequel in 2024, which also turned out to be a blockbuster, earning Rs 880 crore. Where Can You Watch It? Garnering a massive collection at the box office, this blockbuster is also now available on Disney+ Hotstar and Amazon Prime Video. It has an IMDb rating of 6.9, and its popularity continues to grow as more viewers discover the film. From a compelling storyline, romance to comedy, this wholesome film is a must-watch.

‘Saiyaara' movie X review: Newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda steal hearts as netizens praise the intense love story
Saiyaara review: Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda earn praise for their performances Saiyaara, the much-anticipated romantic drama directed by Mohit Suri, is earning high praise from critics and early viewers alike. With a runtime of over two hours, the film delivers a fulfilling cinematic experience rooted in raw emotion, melodious music, and heartfelt storytelling. Early reviews describe Saiyaara as a complete 'paisa vasool' entertainer, seamlessly blending the director's signature themes of love, loss, and longing. The first half, while slightly stretched, establishes an emotional foundation powered by evocative music. But it's the second half that truly soars—delivering gut-wrenching heartbreak and a powerful payoff that cements the film in classic Mohit Suri territory, according to netizens. — varindersingh24 (@varindersingh24) Newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda steal the show with their performances, reviews suggest. While Ahaan impresses with his quiet restraint and natural presence, it is Aneet who truly shines, offering a layered portrayal that balances vulnerability with strength. Some netizens have already begun calling her the next 'national crush,' thanks to the undeniable charm and emotional depth she brings to the screen. More than just a launchpad for fresh talent, Saiyaara showcases a maturity and emotional resonance that leaves a lasting mark. At its heart, Saiyaara is a tender story of first love. It's a genre Mohit Suri has explored before, but here, he reinvents it with a freshness that feels intimate and relevant. Known for crafting some of Bollywood's most emotionally charged films like A ashiqui 2, Woh Lamhe, Zeher, and Ek Villain, Suri brings his trademark mix of intense storytelling and soulful music into the Yash Raj Films fold for the first time. This marks a significant shift for the filmmaker, as his previous successes were under the Vishesh Films banner. The casting of Ahaan Panday—cousin of Bollywood actress Ananya Panday—was not an arbitrary choice, Mohit Suri said. Suri had a clear vision from the start. When conceptualizing Saiyaara , he and his team knew they wanted to cast young, fresh faces who could embody the innocence and intensity of first love. For Suri, the decision to work with newcomers was not a gamble, but a deliberate artistic choice. He has always been a champion of fresh talent, having introduced new musicians, singers, and actors throughout his career. In his own words, these young creatives keep him relevant, forcing him to evolve with each project. — BURN4DESIRE1 (@BURN4DESIRE1) The music of Saiyaara deserves special mention. Suri, who has a deep and personal relationship with music, spent over five years curating melodies for this film. He describes his process like that of a book collector—carefully gathering tunes, lyrics, and voices until he had the perfect collection for this one-of-a-kind album. — boxofficefever (@boxofficefever) As for Ahaan Panday, the debut marks not only a professional milestone but a deeply personal one as well. In a heartfelt message, Ahaan credited the film's creative team for believing in him and helping shape his transition into the world of cinema. He even shared an emotional video of himself hugging director Mohit Suri, a symbolic moment of gratitude and hope. To seek blessings ahead of the film's release, Ahaan and his co-star Aneet Padda visited Mumbai's Siddhivinayak Temple, a gesture that reflected the earnestness and humility both actors have brought to their debut.

‘Saiyaara' Could Become Mohit Suri's Biggest Day 1 Grosser; Displacing Sidharth Malhotra and Shraddha Kapoor's Ek Villain
Mohit Suri's romantic drama 'Saiyaara' releases today. The film may break box office records. Advance bookings are strong. It stars Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. 'Saiyaara' might surpass 'Ek Villain's' opening day numbers. The film has already grossed impressive amount in advance bookings. Trade insiders believe it is very possible. The trailer has emotion, passion, and music. Mohit Suri 's latest romantic drama 'Saiyaara' hits theatres today, and all signs point toward it scripting box office history — potentially becoming the biggest Day 1 opener of the director's career. Backed by a strong advance booking wave, the film — starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda — is generating numbers that may surpass the first-day collections of Suri's previous benchmark, Ek Villain (2014), which opened at Rs 16.70 crore. Mohit Suri Spills On 20 Years In Bollywood - Ahaan & Aneet, Alia Bhatt Dream Collab & More According to data, Saiyaara has recorded an impressive Rs 9.39 crore gross in advance bookings alone, with over 3.8 lakh tickets sold across 7,850 shows nationwide. The film's average ticket price (ATP) stands at Rs 213. When block seats are added, the figure climbs to Rs 12.49 crore, signaling a strong runway for the film's theatrical launch. Mohit Suri's Top Day 1 Grossers: Ek Villain – Rs 16.70 crore Half Girlfriend – Rs 10.30 crore Ek Villain Returns – Rs 7.05 crore Malang – Rs 6.71 crore Murder 2 – Rs 6.95 crore Aashiqui 2 – Rs 6.10 crore Hamari Adhuri Kahani – Rs 4.95 crore Saiyaara is already poised to easily outperform several of these titles by the time first-day final numbers come in. The question now is: can it go all the way to dethrone Ek Villain, which featured Sidharth Malhotra and Shraddha Kapoor and was a breakout commercial success? Given the scale of advance bookings and the youthful buzz surrounding the film, trade insiders believe it's very possible. Unlike Ek Villain, which starred known faces, Saiyaara is headlined by debutants — which makes the strong initial interest even more remarkable. The trailer's blend of emotion, passion, and music — all hallmarks of Suri's filmmaking — seems to have struck a chord with Gen Z and millennial audiences. Moreover, with today being a Friday and urban centres showing higher-than-expected pre-sales, the film could easily race past Rs 17 crore by the end of the day if word of mouth holds strong.
