Romantic drama Saiyaara earns Rs 119 crore worldwide: YRF

New Delhi, Jul 21 (PTI) Mohit Suri's romantic drama 'Saiyaara", featuring debutant Ahaan Pandey and actor Aneet Padda, registered the highest opening for a romantic film ever by grossing Rs 119 crore in the first three days, the makers said. The movie, which marks Pandey's big screen debut and a critically-praised turn for Padda, who previously featured in 'Big Girls Don't Cry" and Kajol-starrer 'Salaam Venky", earned Rs 101.75 (gross) and Rs 84 crore (nett) in India and brought in Rs 17.25 from international markets. Helmed by Mohit Suri of 'Ek Villain" and 'Aashiqui 2" fame, the movie is produced by Yash Raj Films. The film also marked the highest worldwide opening weekend for a debutant-led film. Pandey is actor Ananya Pandey's cousin. The film's impressive three-day run at the box office has beat lifetime collection of other debuts of star kids like Alia Bhatt's 'Student of the Year" and Jahnvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khattar's 'Dhadak", which earned Rs 70 crore and Rs 73 crore (lifetime). 'Saiyaara" follows Krish, played by Pandey, a fiery, ambitious musician, and Vaani, played by Padda, a shy lyricist recovering from heartbreak. The chemistry of the lead pair, built through soulful songwriting sessions and raw emotional moments, is the heart of the film, reads the official logline. 'Saiyaara" opened with Rs 22 crore, earned Rs 26.25 crore on day two and it has made Rs 35.75 crore on day three according to Yash Raj Films in the domestic box office amounting to 84 crore. In the international box office, the film has made Rs 17.25 crore. It is also Suri's highest opening among his other films — 'Ek Villain" earned Rs 16 crore on day one, 'Aashiqui 2" made over Rs 6 crore and 'Murder 2" earned almost 7 crore on the first day of their release. The film is the first and only romance movie to gross over Rs 100 crore in its opening weekend. The film is among the highest grossing opening weekend alongside films like Vicky Kaushal's 'Chhava" (Rs 122.43 crore), Salman Khan's 'Sikandar" (Rs 90.25 crore) and Akshay Kumar's ensemble comedy 'Housefull 5" (Rs 91.83 crore). Yash Raj Films have requested exhibitors to not hike ticket prices in order to keep them accessible for the youth supporting the film. The production house had also previously decided that Pandey and Padda not engage in promotions of the film. The music of 'Saiyaara", which features seven songs composed by Mithoon, Sachet-Parampara, Tanishk Bagchi, Rishabh Kant, Vishal Mishra, Faheem Abdullah and Arslan Nisami, is already a chartbuster. Alongside Pandey and Padda, the romance also stars Geeta Agarwal, Rajesh Kumar, Varun Badola and Shaad Randhawa in key roles.

Couple Holds Auction For First Plate Of Food Served At Wedding, Internet Divided

An unusual wedding reception idea related to food has gone viral and sparked a debate on social media. A person based in the USA took to X (formerly Twitter) to narrate that a newlywed couple at a wedding decided to hold an auction for the first plate of dinner served at their reception event. They revealed that the money the food fetched would go toward paying for their honeymoon trip. The first plate subsequently sold for $1500 (approx Rs 1.3 lakhs). The X user thought this was a "brilliant" idea. However, as comments poured in, it became evident that this sentiment was not shared by everyone. The X user explained, "The bride and groom just sat everyone down and said, 'Alright folks, we know everyone's hungry... So we're auctioning off the first plate of dinner, whoever buys it gets their table served first. Proceeds go to our Alaska fishing trip honeymoon.' Plate sold for $1500. Brilliant." Later, they added, "Selling to a room full of emotional people drinking on empty stomachs who love you... Genius."

Some liked the concept, but a few users seemed to have misunderstood the idea. They thought everyone else, except the auction winner, had to stay hungry. The X user clarified that it was "just a matter of which table they started with, literally a difference of 2-3 minutes." They called it a "Totally symbolic way to give a voluntary gift." However, this wedding idea still didn't sit well with many people. The X user responded to this, saying, "If you are hating on this idea, you hate fun. The room was filled with laughter and shouting and enthusiasm, and everyone at the wedding was talking about how clever it was." just a matter of which table they started with, literally a difference of 2-3 minutes— Thad🥛☀️ (@turbothad) July 20, 2025 If you are hating on this idea, you hate fun.

Game is game— Washed Gamer (@RealWashedGamer) July 20, 2025 If by 'brilliant,' you mean absolutely terrible, okay.— Possibly 🇺🇸 (@Possiblyinabit) July 20, 2025 This is absurd and manipulative. Everyone has spent a lot of money and time to join you at your wedding. Making them pay extra to be served food in a timely manner is terrible. Imagine how those who couldn't afford to join in the auction felt. I'm stunned how inappropriate this…— XRPamici (@XRPamici) July 20, 2025 People who are hating on this hate fun fr— Slade 🍉 (@Cow_The_God) July 20, 2025 That sounds like a great time to order a pizza delivery— j̷o̵h̶n̶🟣🏴‍☠️ (@revjohn22) July 21, 2025 I would be tempted to leave. I am not a nice person when I am hungry, and I hate the idea of having to sit through an auction just to eat.— The Lone Handmaid (@TheLoneHandmaid) July 20, 2025 Went to a wedding once where dessert was a rock-paper-scissors tournament. Things got violent. Weddings are wild these days.— Aatm Yatri (@AatmYatri) July 20, 2025 😳😮 crazy to me but hey if you have that type of guests at the wedding with deep pockets & love then, hey if it works it works!— Amy (@amyd_8) July 20, 2025 The worst wedding idea I've ever seen in my life— Playbook Princess 👑 (@PlaybookPrinces) July 20, 2025 The viral X post has clocked 5.5 million views so far.
