Mohit Suri
's Saiyaara is proving to be more than just a successful launchpad for debutants
Ahaan Panday
and
Aneet Padda
— it's now a full-fledged box office sensation. With Rs 105.75 crore net in just four days, the romantic drama has officially jumped two spots in the box office rankings to become the 7th highest-grossing Hindi film of 2025, surpassing major star-driven projects like

The film's day-wise collections speak volumes about its momentum:
Day 1 (Friday): Rs 21.5 crore
Day 2 (Saturday): Rs 26 crore
Day 3 (Sunday): Rs 35.75 crore
Day 4 (Monday - Early Estimates): Rs 22.5 crore
These numbers take Saiyaara's total to Rs 105.75 crore, placing it just behind Sikandar (Rs 110.36 crore) and Sky Force (Rs 113.62 crore). In doing so, it has already beaten:
Kesari 2 – Rs 92.58 crore
Jaat – Rs 88.72 crore
This is no small feat considering Kesari 2 is a big-budget drama led by Akshay Kumar, and Jaat featured Sunny Deol riding high on his post-Gadar 2 resurgence. Yet, despite the lack of marquee stars, Saiyaara has managed to pull in audiences purely on the strength of its storytelling, emotional core, chartbuster music, and a fresh lead pair that has struck a chord with the youth.
What's even more impressive is that this milestone has been achieved in just four days. With no major competition in the upcoming weekend — following the postponement of Son of Sardaar 2 to August 1 — Saiyaara is poised for an uninterrupted run at the box office. If current trends continue, the film is expected to surpass Sikandar – Ra and Sky Force within the next 24 hours, potentially becoming one of the Top 5 grossers of the year by the end of Week 1.
As of now, the top Hindi films of 2025 are led by Chhaava (Rs 585.70 crore), followed by Housefull 5 (Rs 183.38 crore), Raid 2 (Rs 173.44 crore), and Sitaare Zameen Par (Rs 165.49 crore). But Saiyaara has now officially entered the conversation and could very well become the 2nd biggest hit of the year.
