Saiyaara advance booking: Ahaan Pandey could just be the new overnight sensation

India Today3 days ago
Yash Raj Films' 'Saiyaara' is making just the right kind of noise at the box office. The film's advance booking, which began two days back, has shown an incredible performance. The YRF musical is the grand Bollywood debut of Ahaan Pandey, cousin of actor Ananya Panday, and Aneet Padda. Directed by Mohit Suri, it could just become the best launchpad for any Bollywood debutant in a long time.advertisementThe film has already sold over 1 lakh tickets on its opening day in India, grossing around Rs 4.57 crore (with block seats). As reported by the trade website Sacnilk, 'Saiyaara' will have sold over 1.50 lakh tickets before Friday, and that is both fantastic and unprecedented for a debutant film with no solid promotions whatsoever.'Saiyaara' is set to have a double-digit opening. If the trade experts are to be believed, then the film will end up collecting in the range of Rs 12-15 crore. The collections could be more if the film receives good word-of-mouth, adding more to the spot bookings for the evening shows.
The film seems to be on its way to making Ahaan Pandey the new Bollywood sensation of the generation. Honestly, there has been no Bollywood debutant since Hrithik Roshan in 'Kaho Na Pyaar Hai...' who could create a grand aura of stardom overnight. 'Saiyaara', with all its surprising craze, could be that one film for Pandey. It stars the actor as a rising singer, Krish Kapoor, who falls in love with his manager, Vaani, played by Aneet. The film follows two people who are deeply and passionately in love with each other, but things get complicated when life happens.'Saiyaara' is slated to hit the screens on July 18.- Ends

F1 Day 23 India Box Office: Brad Pitt's film grows by 65 percent on 4th Saturday despite Saiyaara wave; Nets an exceptional Rs 2.50 crore

F1, directed by Joseph Kosinski and starring Brad Pitt, Kerry Condon, Damson Idris, Javier Bardem and others is the biggest success story among Hollywood movies in India this year. F1 's opening day multiplier is a mindboggling 14 times after 23 days and by the end of its run, it can be even 16 or 17 times, given the excellent collections that the film is still registering after 3 weeks, that too with new local competition every week. F1 Grows By 65 Percent On 4th Saturday To Add Rs 2.50 Crore Net; Remains Unaffected By Saiyaara F1 collected Rs 1.50 crore on 4th Friday, actually growing by 25 percent from 3rd Thursday. The movie registered a 65 percent growth on Saturday to collect Rs 2.50 crore net. The total collections of the film stand at Rs 76.50 crore net after 23 days and by the end of day 24, it will be flirting with Rs 80 crore net. The Day Wise India Net Collections Of F1 In India Are As Under F1 Has Enjoyed The Best World Of Mouth For A Hollywood Film In A Long Time F1 opened to modest Rs 5.50 crore net including few early screenings. For it to reach this far is a testament of how strong the movie's word of mouth is. What's most surprising is that close to Rs 15 crore net of the film has come after it lost its IMAX exclusivity to Superman, and there's obviously a lot more to come. If all goes well, it can hit Rs 90 crore net too. And there's no reason not to believe it won't go well since the movie has been defying every trade prediction with a hold that not many films get to see. There is an outside chance that it may cross Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning in the country, and that would be insane because the opening of F1 was practically a third of the former. F1 Is Kosinski And Pitt's Highest India Grosser F1 is the highest grossing Kosinski and Pitt film in India. The fact that both F1 is Kosinski and Pitt's highest Indian grosser when they literally have higher global grossers shows how much the Indian market for Hollywood films has grown. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more box office updates of F1.

Burglars break into actress's unguarded Maval farmhouse

Pune: Thieves broke into Bollywood actress Sangeeta Bijlani 's farmhouse near Pavana dam in Maval, about 60km from the city, and decamped with a TV set and Rs 50,000 in cash. The burglary came to light on Friday when Bijlani visited the farmhouse with her staff and found the window grilles broken. Senior inspector Dinesh Tayade of the Lonavla Rural police, told TOI, "Bijlani had not visited the farmhouse since March, and its isolated location near Pavana dam made it vulnerable. With no security guard on site, authorities suspect the thieves may have cased the property before breaking in over the past two days." In her complaint, Bijlani stated the the thieves made off with Rs 50,000 in cash meant for her father's emergency needs, which was kept in a cupboard. "Upon visiting the farmhouse on around 11.30am on Friday with her staff, Bijlani was shocked to see the main entrance forcibly broken. Further inspection revealed damage to household items, including the fridge and decor," Tayade said, citing the complaint.

Mohit Suri reveals why he felt bad after receiving a message from Sandeep Reddy Vanga post 'Saiyaara' release: 'After Animal, half the world was against him'

Mohit Suri is currently riding high on the success of his latest film 'Saiyaara', and the filmmaker has now opened up about a generous gesture from Sandeep Reddy Vanga, who supported the film by sharing its trailer on his social media handle ahead of its release.

'Personal praise is common in this industry, but public acknowledgement is rare. Sandeep did both, and that takes a secure and generous person.
