Saiyaara Crosses Rs 100 Cr In 4 Days, But THIS Vicky Kaushal Film Hit Century In 3 Days In 2025
Directed by Mohit Suri and starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, Saiyaara collected an estimated Rs 22.50 crore on Day 4.
There's no stopping Saiyaara. Even on Monday which is typically a slow day for most releases, the film continued its impressive run at the box office. Directed by Mohit Suri and starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, Saiyaara collected an estimated Rs 22.50 crore on Day 4. This brings its total to Rs 106 crore in just four days, according to Sacnilk.com.
The romantic drama released on July 18 and got off to a phenomenal start, collecting Rs 25 crore (approx. $2.9 million) on its opening day in India. According to YRF, nearly 9.75 lakh people flocked to theatres on Day 1, making it the biggest opening day ever for a Hindi film led entirely by debutants. It beat the previous record set by Dhadak, which opened at Rs 8.76 crore in 2018.
What makes Saiyaara's feat even more notable is that only one other Hindi film in 2025 has managed to hit the Rs 100 crore mark faster, Chhaava, starring Vicky Kaushal. The period drama, directed by Laxman Utekar, has been one of the biggest success stories of the year. It earned a staggering Rs 49.03 crore on Sunday alone, closing its opening weekend with Rs 121.43 crore in India. While Chhaava and Saiyaara differ vastly in genre and scale, one being a historical epic, the other a contemporary love story, both have made history in their own right.
Importantly, Saiyaara's success stands tall on its own merit. It not only marks a breakout moment for Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, but also sets a new benchmark for romantic films at the box office. It outperformed recent romantic hits like Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani (Rs 11.1 crore), Teri Baaton Mein Aisa Uljha Jiya (Rs 6.7 crore), Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar (Rs 15.73 crore), and Kabir Singh (Rs 20.21 crore) in terms of opening day numbers.
The buzz around Saiyaara was strong even before release, with advance bookings crossing Rs 9.39 crore and over 3.8 lakh tickets sold. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh had reported that 1.38 lakh tickets were booked across national chains like PVR INOX and Cinepolis—a record for a debut film in recent memory.
With its soaring numbers, stellar word-of-mouth and sold-out shows across metros, Saiyaara is proving to be a cultural and commercial phenomenon. While Chhaava continues to dominate as the highest grosser of 2025, Saiyaara has earned its place in the spotlight, representing a strong, refreshing wave of new talent and storytelling in Bollywood.

Ravi Kishan says he went ‘crazy' after seeing success, wife ‘threw' him into Bigg Boss; lost arrogance after father and brothers' deaths: ‘Got whipped by life'
Politician and actor Ravi Kishan has seen massive ups and downs in both his film and political career. The actor recently received a lot of praise for his roles in Kiran Rao's Laapataa Ladies and the web show Maamla Legal Hai. In a recent interaction, Ravi admitted that he became arrogant after finding success in films, and it was his wife, Preeti Shukla, who brought him back on track. Speaking to Raj Shamani about that phase, he said, '18-19 years back, I went a little crazy. I went a little off track. All my films were silver jubilees. These days films work for a week, but at that time good films used to work for 25 weeks and all my films were silver jubilees. So anyone would get mad, I got success after seeing a lot of struggle and then suddenly got so much.' Ravi explained the reason behind the success of his films and shared that since Hindi cinema was focusing on stories about NRIs at the time, his films — rooted in local culture — struck a chord with the masses, leading to immense popularity. 'People were going mad,' he said. Ravi shared that his wife pushed him to participate in Bigg Boss during that time to bring him back on track. He said, 'So my wife threw me into the Bigg Boss house for three months.' Ravi also explained that the death of his father and younger brothers gave him a reality check and made him humble. He said, 'I got a lot of whips by life. My father passed away, my two brothers passed away very young, all my arrogance went away. My arrogance was my dad. He was my pride, and when he left my pride left with him. I became quiet after he left.' When asked about his biggest insecurity, he shared that he fears losing his wife. 'I love my wife, Preeti, and I pray that she never falls ill. I don't want to see her getting old, but I know that she will get old one day. I also know that she'll die one day and will leave me or I will leave her first. I know that nothing will be left,' he said. Ravi Kishan also shared that despite being at the helm of his career, it is his wife and kids who manage him and called them his 'protectors.' He said, 'Whenever there is a controversy, I call my wife and I call my daughter first and they give me a lot of strength. They help me with my decisions, with my career in films and even about what I will wear. They decide how am I going to look and what I will wear when I gain some weight. My four kids and my wife are my protectors.'

That was a big requirement."
