Saiyaara Box Office: Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer sings 10 million overseas
Saiyaara topped USD 10 million internationally yesterday on its eleventh day. It did so with another fantastic weekday hold, collecting USD 650K on its second Monday. That's a drop of less than 50 per cent from Sunday. While the summer period usually brings stronger weekday trends, this level of hold remains impressive even within that context. The United Kingdom showcased the strongest hold with a staggering GBP 125K on its second Monday. This is likely the biggest second Monday ever for an Indian film, though it would need verification, in case some film with a holiday may have done better. Regardless of that, the film is looking to speed past the GBP 2 million mark, which is a monumental figure achieved only by fifteen films in history. In fact, the way it is going, it would end up in the top five biggest, maybe even the top three. Other markets also saw robust holds. Australia put up AUD 85K yesterday, higher than its Monday last week. North America saw a sub-50 per cent drop from Sunday as well. The Territorial Breakdown for Saiyaara Overseas Box Office is as follows: Monday takeout has set Saiyaara for a USD 6.50 million second week, which will be around 20 per cent higher than its first week. The film will quite possibly cross the USD 15 million mark before the end of its third week and, with a conventional trend from there on, is looking at a finish somewhere in the high teens. Of course, the film could do better than that, much better. Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani was released in the last week of July, where it grossed USD 4 million over the weekend, USD 725K on Monday and then went on to have unfathomable legs, grossing over USD 20 million. Saiyaara, in the last week of July, which is its second week, has so far performed at a similar level. If it could manage the late legs fraction of RARKPK, it could go over USD 20 million as well.

EXCLUSIVE: NOMAD picks favorite Indian food, opens up on musical inspiration and deep appreciation for fans
With the rising interest in K-pop across India, an increasing number of artists are finding their way to the subcontinent to interact with their admirers and build a greater fanbase. During the finale of the All India K-POP Contest 2025 earlier this month, boy group NOMAD sought their first-ever visit to the country and impressed the fans with their performance! Speaking to us in an exclusive chat just a day after landing in India, the group appeared thoroughly intrigued and interested in all that was going around. Speaking about the high-tensioned and high-pitched people around them, leader DOY shared, 'Firstly, Indian people around us are very energized and passionate so we felt welcomed by them right as we landed.' He added how the members had the opportunity to try out some amazing Indian food, which had them hooked. NOMAD's introduction to Indian cuisine Youngest member Junho spoke about their most anticipated dish, one that even Koreans are crazy about, which was Chicken Makhni (Butter Chicken) and Dal Makhni, the first authentic tastes of which exceeded their expectations. Other members chimed in with their own favorites, including Mango Lassi and Gulabjamun, which they said were right up their alley. The classic Indian Samosa had taken over their sense, making them term it as 'special'. Member ONE revealed how it was a country they hadn't visited before and therefore were able to experience it with a clean slate in their minds, and made them glad to have decided to come. Among the many places they'd like to visit, one of the seven wonders, the Taj Mahal, excited them the most. Talking about their experiences as musicians, DOY shared that the visit to Los Angeles remained as their top pick, owing to the fun and learning-filled time that they had while in the USA. RIVR, mostly quiet throughout so far, perked up on being asked about their fans and recalled how the support made him appreciate them more each time, and work hard to release good content. DOY mentioned how maintaining their thoughts of why the members first began their careers as K-pop stars has been the biggest driving force for the group's unity. Giving a shoutout to some of their most-cherished inspirations, the group dropped some big names, including Park Hyo Shin, as their reason to pursue music. Summing it up, the team added that wanting to make the world a better place to live and provide strength to their listeners via their music is the purpose of dreaming about the idol life. The members reminisced about their debut day of February 28, 2024, when their families and friends cheered for their future, in hopes of seeing the team grow further. Much like their name, NOMAD, they wish to set their unique identity in the musical scene and leave a mark with their actions, much like graffiti. The group continues to live with that thought while working to get better each day.

Sarzameen director Kayoze Irani reveals he cut Kajol's role based on suggestions from the Indian Army: ‘For sensitivity reasons…'
Kajol, Ibrahim Ali Khan, and Prithviraj Sukumaran's latest film Sarzameen, which released on JioHotstar on 25th July, has not been well received. While the film has gotten bad reviews, many have also been upset over Kajol's limited screen time in the film. Recently, in a conversation with Zoom, Kayoze Iranoi revealed that he had to cut out a crucial chunk from Kajol's character in the film. There was a flashback sequence that explained her character arc, which had to be dropped from the final cut. Kayoze revealed that the deletion of this part was deliberate after they got feedback from the Indian Army. Also Read: Sarzameen: Ibrahim Ali Khan's terrible film accidentally gets you to root for a terrorist to kill a soldier, and you can't even deny it In the interview, Kayoze explained that Kajol's character couldn't be explored in depth due to a request from the Indian Army. He said that her scenes were cut not due to time constraints but because they wanted to be secured by the Indian Army. He had shown the film to them and also shared the script in order to get their permission for the release. And it was due to 'sensitivity reasons' that Kajol's part was removed. Kayoze also recalled how, when he had shown the rough edit to the Indian Army while in Delhi, they had strongly reacted to it. They sat with the team for 35 to 40 minutes, suggesting how the screenplay could be improvised and nuances could be gotten right. One strong requirement from them was that the story 'be faithful to the men in uniform.' Earlier in a conversation with SCREEN, Kajol had spoken about her character in Sarzameen and said, 'In this film, I took a toll on my knees because Kayoze insisted that for every shot I had to start crying and keep falling on my knees. I got irritated with him, every scene I couldn't keep falling just because it was written in the script, eventually I was like, what kind of a character is she that she keeps falling to her knees every five minutes.' Sarzameen marks Kayoze Irani's directorial debut and is Ibrahim Ali Khan's second film after Naadaniyaan.
