Saiyaara Box Office Day 9: Ahaan Panday's debut enters Rs 200 crore club, surpasses Housefull 5
On its second Saturday (Day 9), the film collected an estimated Rs 25.5–26.5 crore, showing a strong 40% jump from its already solid second Friday earnings of Rs 18.5 crore. That takes its total to a whopping Rs 219.25–220.25 crore, according to early estimates.
What makes this more impressive? Saiyaara is now only the second Bollywood film in 2025 to cross the ₹200 crore milestone, after Chhaava. Other highly anticipated releases like Sitaare Zameen Par, Raid 2, Housefull 5, and Sikandar couldn't breach the mark. How does it compare with other 2025 hits?
Here's a snapshot of the top Bollywood grossers of 2025 (so far): Chhaava – Rs 615.39 crore
Saiyaara – Rs 219.25–220.25 crore (est.)
Housefull 5 – Rs 198.41 crore
Raid 2 – Rs 179.30 crore
Sitaare Zameen Par – Rs 165.39 crore Box Office breakdown: Day by day Day 1 – Rs 22 crore
Day 2 – Rs 26.25 crore
Day 3 – Rs 36.25 crore
Day 4 – Rs 24.25 crore
Day 5 – Rs 25 crore
Day 6 – Rs 22 crore
Day 7 – Rs 19.50 crore
Day 8 – Rs 18.50 crore
Day 9 – Rs 25.5–26.5 crore (est.) What's driving the buzz around Saiyaara?
A debut hero, a soulful soundtrack, and Mohit Suri's romantic storytelling seem to be the winning combo. The film's strong word-of-mouth, coupled with a young fanbase and repeat audience, is fueling its momentum.
If the pace continues, Saiyaara might just give even bigger films a run for their money. All eyes are now on its 10-day total and whether it can inch closer to the Rs 250 crore milestone in Week 2.
