Over the past 15 days, Mohit Suri's directorial has surpassed the lifetime collections of several major releases, including Kabir Singh (Rs 278 crore), Tiger 3 (Rs 276 crore), Dhoom 3 (Rs 271 crore), and Brahmastra Part One (Rs 241 crore).

Morning and afternoon shows recorded 11.89% and 19.15% respectively, while evening and night shows performed slightly better with 20.24% and 26.40%. Background Among recent debuts in Bollywood, Ahaan Panday's launch has proven to be one of the most successful. His cousin Ananya Panday debuted with Student of the Year 2, which earned Rs 70 crore in India, a figure Saiyaara crossed in just three days. Shanaya Kapoor's debut in Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan (Rs 1.77 crore), co-starring Vikrant Massey, struggled at the box office in comparison. Ajay Devgn's Son of Sardaar 2 was delayed to avoid a clash with Saiyaara. The film's success has been attributed to its lead pair, its title track, and strategic decisions by director Mohit Suri and producer Yash Raj Films.
