Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 19: Ahaan Panday's film becomes second Indian film of 2025 to cross ₹500 cr mark
Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 19: Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's debut film Saiyaara remains unstoppable at the box office even after 19 days since its release. The film is helmed by YRF and directed by Mohit Suri. Saiyaara has now touched yet another milestone, arguably the biggest so far, crossing ₹ 500 crore worldwide, claimed the film team. YRF shared that Saiyaara has grossed ₹ 507 crore at the global box office in 18 days. Sharing the news on their Instagram, the production house's official post read, '#Saiyaara found a home in your hearts - and we couldn't be more thankful.' Reacting to the news, YRF's CEO, Akshaye Widhani, who backed the film, said in a statement, 'As a company, we share this historic success with the captain of the ship, Mohit Suri who has given this generation a defining love story they can call their own, the incredible debutants Ahaan & Aneet who made the world feel love on screen through their brilliant acting, Aditya Chopra for his unwavering guidance, the entire cast and crew of Saiyaara and everyone at YRF for their invaluable contribution towards making this film into a global phenomenon.' He added, 'The success of Saiyaara, a pure love story, once again proves that the romance genre is probably the one to get most love from audience if we give them the right film to cherish and endorse. We are humbled with this success story and it fuels us to look for the next film that can break-out and make India proud globally.' Akshaye also said, 'It's deeply encouraging to see young audiences lead the way in embracing this film, disproving doubts about their theatrical participation. Thank you to every viewer, everywhere, for making Saiyaara the defining love story of our time.' With this, Saiyaara becomes the second Indian film of 2025 to cross the ₹ 500 crore mark worldwide. So far, only Vicky Kaushal's blockbuster Chhaava has achieved this feat. Chhaava minted ₹ 807.91 crore worldwide as its lifetime earnings. Saiyaara recently crossed the ₹ 300 crore mark in India on day 18. However, industry tracker Sacnilk is yet to confirm Saiyaara's ₹ 500 crore achievement at the international box office. According to their website, on day 18, Saiyaara's Worldwide Collection stood at ₹ 492.50 crore. Its Overseas Collection was ₹ 130 crore on the same day. Saiyaara is a romance-drama, focused on the story of Krish Kapur (played by Ahaan Panday), an egotistical, short-tempered musician who is in search of a big break. He meets Vaani (played by Aneet Padda), a shy, aspiring journalist recovering from heartbreak. As they cross paths, love follows, but fate takes them apart, setting them on a journey filled with love, loss and heartbreak.

Parineeta Re-Release: Makers Unveil New Trailer Of Saif Ali Khan, Vidya Balan And Sanjay Dutt's Film In 8K Restored Version
New Delhi: Pradeep Sarkar's Parineeta, led by Vidya Balan, Saif Ali Khan, and Sanjay Dutt, was released in theatres on June 10, 2005. As the film celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2025, which also marks 20 years of Vidya Balan, the film is all set to re-release in theatres on August 29, 2025. The film has been restored in a stunning 8K version by Prasad Film Labs, bringing its rich visuals and evocative storytelling back to the big screen. What's Happening Parineeta, directed by the late Pradeep Sarkar and bankrolled by Vinod Chopra Films, is re-releasing in theatres on August 29, 2025. It marks 20 years of Vidya Balan and also 50 Years of Vinod Chopra Films. To celebrate the milestone year for Parineeta, the film is returning to the big screen in a restored 8K version by Prasad Film Labs. A brand new trailer has been unveiled, celebrating the film's timeless appeal, soulful music, and the nostalgia of a bygone era. Talking about the new trailer, Vidya Balan said, "I remember listening to Piyu Bole for the first time; even then, I knew it was something special. There was a softness to it, a kind of innocence that I guess mirrored how I was feeling at the time - new, unsure, and quietly hopeful. Watching the trailer now, that melody brought back of the scenes with (Dada) Pradeep Da screaming instructions from behind the monitor and how he'd act out moments and expect us to follow. His walk as a woman in my scenes always cracked me up... I'd be like, ' Dada, you don't need to teach me how to walk!' Haha... I guess I wasn't aware of the camera; I was just living those moments. I truly couldn't have asked for a more beautiful debut. That kind of purity... the magic of a first... Uff, Parineeta is full of that because it marked the first for many of us... and that's something I'll always hold close." Adding to this, Sanjay Dutt said, "Girish was my first Bengali character, and I was very happy to play it. I love the Bengali culture. Girish was a quiet guy, but a lot is going on underneath, and I really connected with that. Pradeep Dada was solid; he was always there to guide me through every beat of the script. I love him and miss him. I was happy that Vinod offered me the film, as I have had a very successful association with him. He is family. Some scenes might look simple now, but they weren't easy at all. Watching the trailer today brought everything back twenty years later. Parineeta was never just another film for me. It was made with a lot of heart and a lot of love, and that's why even two decades on, it has a special place in everyone's heart." About Parineeta Vidya Balan plays the role of Lolita, who lives with her financially unstable Uncle. Since childhood, she has had feelings for her next-door neighbour, Shekhar, played by Saif Ali Khan. Shekhar's father, Navinchandra (Sabyasachi Chakraborty), is a wealthy but heartless businessman. Lolita soon discovers that Navinchnadra wants to seize her uncle's home and convert it into a hotel. She decides to seek help from the wealthy businessman Girish Sharma (Sanjay Dutt). However, misunderstandings arise when Shekhar suspects romance brewing between Lolita and Girish. In A Nutshell The restored version of Parineeta will be re-released in select PVR INOX cinemas across India exclusively for one week on August 29, 2025. This limited re-release of the film presents a new opportunity for the new generation to witness the film on the big screen too.
