Synopsis Mohit Suri's Saiyaara is currently making waves. The romantic musical stars Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu praised the film. Other Bollywood celebrities also shared positive reviews. Saiyaara's box office numbers are impressive. The film is produced by Yash Raj Films. Netflix has acquired the digital rights. The OTT release date is awaited. Agencies Mahesh Babu's glowing praise for Saiyaara has added star power to the debut film of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. The romantic musical, directed by Mohit Suri, has struck a chord with audiences and critics alike. In an industry where newcomers often struggle to make their presence felt, Saiyaara has emerged as a refreshing exception — one that's breaking norms, box office records, and expectations alike. The romantic musical, helmed by Mohit Suri and released in theatres on July 18, has not only struck a chord with audiences but also found a surprise admirer in Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu. Taking to social media, the actor shared a heartfelt endorsement of the film, calling it 'a beautifully made film with honest storytelling, standout performances, and top-notch execution.' Quoting his post from X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, 'Take a bow #Saiyaara team… Big love to #AhaanPanday & #AneetPadda for living their roles so effortlessly… This one deserves all the love coming its way.' The statement has added a new layer of credibility and excitement to what was already being celebrated as a promising debut for its lead stars. — urstrulyMahesh (@urstrulyMahesh) At the centre of this cinematic wave is Ahaan Panday — nephew of actor Chunky Panday — who makes his big screen debut as Krish, a passionate singer with a turbulent past. Alongside him is Aneet Padda, playing Vaani, a character navigating heartbreak, renewal, and self-discovery. Together, they breathe life into a narrative that walks the fine line between emotional depth and youthful exuberance. Their on-screen chemistry, coupled with Mohit Suri's evocative direction, has turned Saiyaara into more than just a musical — it's a heartfelt journey of healing, ambition, and rediscovered love. The film follows Vaani as she tries to rebuild her life after being abandoned at the altar, only to cross paths with Krish, a musician nursing emotional wounds of his own. What unfolds is a tender story of connection, resilience, and the courage to love again. Beyond Mahesh Babu, industry voices have been vocal in their admiration. Alia Bhatt, Arjun Kapoor, Neha Dhupia, and Rasha Thadani have shared glowing tributes on social media, while actor Harshvardhan Rane called the film 'a melodious love story that shatters all formulas.' Even filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga reportedly sent director Mohit Suri a personal message after watching the film. According to Sacnilk, Saiyaara opened with an impressive ₹21 crore, followed by ₹24 crore on day two. With the weekend closing in, the film is projected to touch ₹73 crore — numbers that many seasoned stars would envy in today's challenging box office climate. Produced under the Yash Raj Films banner, the film has also secured a digital home with Netflix, although the OTT release date is yet to be confirmed. This move is expected to widen its reach, especially among young audiences resonating with its chart-topping music and modern emotional themes.

India's highest-grosser of 2025: Only film to cross ₹250 cr mark so far, ran 50+ days with 24-hour shows in theatres
2025 began with chatter around a dull phase for the Indian film industry, as several star-studded films featuring the likes of Salman Khan, Kamal Haasan, Ram Charan, Kangana Ranaut, and Shahid Kapoor failed to pull audiences to theatres. However, defying those predictions, a new report reveals that the Indian box office collected a staggering ₹ 5,723 crore in the first half of 2025, marking a 14% year-on-year growth. While several underdog films emerged as surprise hits at the ticket window, one film stands out as the highest-grossing Indian film of the year so far — Chhaava. This film, despite being mired in controversy, continued its theatrical run for nearly two months. Its success was so massive that the Hindi film was eventually dubbed and released in Telugu as well. It also had 24-hour running shows owing to its demand among the audience. India's highest-grosser of 2025 so far is Chhaava. Chhaava stars Vicky Kaushal in the lead as Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj. It also features Rashmika Mandanna and Akshaye Khanna. The film is based on the life of Sambhaji Maharaj, the second ruler of the Maratha Empire. According to the latest India Box Office Report: Jan–Jun 2025 by Ormax Media, Chhaava emerged as the winner of this year at the box office, earning ₹ 693 crore. In total, 17 films crossed the ₹ 100 crore mark at the Indian box office between January and June this year. However, Chhaava is the only film to cross the ₹ 250 crore mark within the timeline. Coming in next on the list is the Telugu-language film Sankranthiki Vasthunam, headlined by Daggubati Venkatesh, which recorded impressive nationwide earnings of ₹ 222 crore. Sitaare Zameen Par ( ₹ 201 crore) Housefull 5 ( ₹ 200 crore) Good Bad Ugly ( ₹ 183 crore) Game Changer ( ₹ 153 crore) L2: Empuraan ( ₹ 126 crore) June alone added over ₹ 900 crore to the year's box office total. 'The cumulative box office for Jan–Jun releases stands at ₹ 5,723 crore, which is 14 per cent higher than the same period in 2024 and just ₹ 12 crore short of the 2022 record for Jan–Jun box office,' the report mentioned. Coming to the success of Chhaava, the Vicky Kaushal film released on February 14, 2025. The film continued to run in theatres until March 21, 2025, marking its 36th day. As per multiple reports, the film held 24-hour screenings in Maharashtra due to high demand. Reportedly, 6 am and midnight shows were added for the film right after its release, recording about 97% occupancy. A little less than a month after its release, Chhaava also released a Telugu dubbed version in theatres to keep up with the demand. Later, the film made its OTT debut on Netflix on April 11. The film is directed by Laxman Utekar, and produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films.
