Saiyaara Worldwide Opening Weekend Box Office: Ahaan Panday & Aneet Padda starrer is a BLOCKBUSTER with Rs 109 crore in 3 days
The business in India and international markets grew from strength to strength over the weekend, and the film is now looking to show a path-breaking hold in collections on the weekdays too. Given that Saiyaara has overperformed, the chatter of corporate bookings in the industry and social media is obvious, but the global numbers are a stamp of authenticity, as one can't orchestrate figures globally at this level.
To put things in perspective, loud and clear – the numbers of Saiyaara are ORGANIC, GENUINE attracting ACTUAL AUDIENCE with purchasing power on the seats in cinema halls. Hitting Rs 100 crore in the weekend is a dream for most of the actors outside of the Big 5, and Saiyaara has done it with rank newcomers. The content, the music, and the talent of two leads - Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda - have done the talking to draw audiences in big numbers to the cinema halls.
The film has got shoot of scoring in the North of Rs 350 crore at the global box office by the end of its run, though one can say that with surety only post the Monday hold, which most likely is going to send shockwaves in the industry. These numbers are historic to say the least, and the film has already emerged as a theatrical blockbuster in just 3-days of its run. Feature films usually slow down on Sunday night, but Saiyaara is an unstoppable force, refusing to stop selling tickets like hot cup-cakes even for the late-night shows on the third day!
Saiyaara Worldwide Opening Weekend Estimate
India Gross: Rs 96.75 crore
Overseas Gross: Rs 12.25 crore (USD 1.5 million)
Worldwide Gross: Rs 109 crore (Estimates)

Maareesan Explained: Why did Fahadh's Dayalan agree to travel with Vadivelu's Velayudham and what is latter's true identity?
Disclaimer: This article contains spoilers. Maareesan, starring Vadivelu and Fahadh Faasil in the lead roles, was released in theaters on July 25, 2025. The movie, directed by Sudheesh Sankar, is a comedy thriller flick featuring the lead actors together on the big screen after appearing in Maamannan. If you are still wondering what the film is about, here's a quick explainer to help you understand. Why did Fahadh Faasil's Dayalan decide to help Vadivelu's Velayudham Pillai? Maareesan begins with Dayalan (played by Fahadh Faasil) being released from Palayamkottai jail. The convict was imprisoned due to the multiple thefts he had committed over time. As he explains his profession, he believes that some houses call to him, wanting to be robbed. After becoming a free man, Dayalan decides to resume his profession once again, entering a new home. After making his entrance, Dayalan spots an old man, tied to a bed with chains. The man is claimed to be Velayudham Pillai (played by Vadivelu), who mistakes the robber for his son. Pleading to release him from the chains, Velayudham is revealed to be suffering from Alzheimer's disease. Soon, the old man asks Dayalan to help him out and take him to the nearest bus stand so that he can travel to his friend's place in Tiruvannamalai. Although hesitant, Dayalan decides to help him out and soon realizes Velayudham has a sum of Rs 25 lakhs in his bank account. In hopes of swindling the entire amount, the thief sticks with Velayudham. Is Velayudham Pillai truly who he claims to be? As we move ahead, Velayudham Pillai often forgets about his intention and where he planned to reach. A frustrated Dayalan decides to take it upon himself, trying to squeeze out the maximum amount from the old man as they travel from Nagercoil to Tiruvannamalai. The two men embark on a journey that forms a relationship unlike anything they have experienced before. With Velayudham often misunderstanding Dayalan as his son or a stranger, humorous moments occur throughout. However, the final blow comes to Dayalan when it is revealed that Velayudham is a serial killer known as Maareesan. The police are in search of the culprit who targets people accused of harassing and abusing young children. With a grim past in his life, Maareesan is still trying to nail another person, even as cops are hot on his heels.

Saiyaara, And The Taming Of The Tortured-Male-Rockstar
In Mohit Suri's Saiyaara, a bitter boy meets a guarded girl. He is hurting, and she is hurt. He, a singer, uses music to convey wounds, and she, a writer, uses words to cover injury. He seeks fame, and she wants solitude. As star-crossed as it comes, they are destined for a kind of love that consumes both but heals one; headed for a ruined romance where one survives and the other thrives. Such stories have a precedent, comprising mostly a man at the centre - talented but obscure, wanting love but chasing heartbreak. The ache baptises him as an artist. Karan Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (2016) is a telling instance. Snubbed by the woman he loves, the man uses shards of his heart to make music, and earns success. This is such a trope that when the protagonist in Imtiaz Ali's Rockstar (2011) wishes to be a singer, he is prescribed heartbreak. Although Ali designs him as a reluctant rockstar willing to forsake everything for love, his hero eventually gains everything his heart desired at the cost of his heart. This archetype of a tortured male artist is not a novelty in Hindi films. Guru Dutt's Pyaasa (1957), about a poet awaiting validation from a hostile world till he rejects all, is an early example. There are more, including Suri's own rendition of A Star Is Born in Aashiqui 2 (2013). Ali's Tamasha (2015) has a storyteller bleeding through the mundanity of life. In Abhishek Chaubey's Udta Punjab (2016), a biting take on Punjab's opium problem, the sole artist in the story is drug-addled. If narratives confirm broken men as a prerequisite for artistry, they also carve specific roles for women to shoulder: the breaker or the healer. She propels the man to triumph or holds his hand through the turbulence of his making. Either way, she plays a part in someone else's journey and occupies limited space even as the succour demanded of her is boundless. She imprints the art, but the artist remains a man. With Saiyaara, Suri updates the stereotypes. Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday) is a volatile singer. Life has been unfair to him, and he, in turn, has little patience for fairness. His father is an alcoholic, and his band members, wealthier and better connected, get more recognition in the press. Always seething, he is introduced as beating up a journalist for favouritism. Standing on the other side of the scuffle is Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda), a girl so sensitive that she will probably crumble if pushed. Sparks fly. This World Is A Tragedy One would assume this is the story, that he is broken enough to be healed. But Krish, being a Mohit Suri hero, is scripted for graver tragedies. And thus it begins: Krish and Vaani gravitate towards each other. She pieces him together, and the colour of his t-shirts becomes lighter with his heart; a faint smile hovers over his lips. Everything fits: he is a narcissist, and she is devotional; she wishes for his success, and he wishes to be successful. Then disaster strikes, one primed to elevate Krish, but which will first crush him: Vaani is diagnosed with Alzheimer's. So far, so Rockstar. On a trope-y level, the condition makes sense; as a metaphor, it works even better. Afflicted by a disorder that destroys memory, Vaani's fading into oblivion literalises the dispensable function women play in such narratives. But Suri flips the script. He uses the segue of sickness to craft a subversive coming-of-age story where gender roles are defined but not followed. An Intervention The swap happens gently, almost against the wishes of the leads. Till Saiyaara is predictable, the characters act derivative. Till the story is imitative, the ticks feel the same. Krish smokes like Kabir Singh, is called "animal" for his flying temper, and falls in love with the eagerness of Imtiaz Ali's heroes. Ditto for Vaani, who is content being a bystander to Krish's success. Yet, whenever they seek to assume these roles, Saiyaara uses the context of tragedy and intervenes. Moments before Krish's big concert, Vaani assures to be a cheerleader only to be disoriented; after Krish readies to go for his band's first concert tour, he runs back, an image that keeps repeating, from the airport to be next to her. Aneet Padda as Vaani in Saiyaara These deflections, slight on the surface, rework archaic optics. They allow the girl to bypass conventions and extract an Aditya Chopra hero, prone to seeing the divine in the person he loves, from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's universe of God-complexed protagonists. Saiyaara features a pliant female character whose path to healing assumes agency to be the central story, and a male artist willing to partake in it as the healer. The Real Protagonist Suri's filmmaking responds to this. Vaani might be lurking in the background, restricted to mostly reaction shots, but she is the protagonist. The camera is earlier established as her point of view; when she faints, the screen crumbles, and keeps finding her even when the stage is set for Krish. His big moments - a tour in India, a concert in London - keep getting interrupted by her condition. As if she is on the journey and he is playing catch-up. This thought gets reinforced when his acts, hitherto selfish, start being imbued with the care of service. He desires to flourish not for his sake but so that she can spot him from afar. Saiyaara, too, holds out, framing Krish as a rockstar, after teasing with the visual, only when the image pines with the purpose of finding her. So keen is he that grief of her absence, deployed by his predecessors as a license to be a man-child, is wielded by him to be tender, in preparation for a visit. Such selflessness is atypical of an artist but typical of a lover. Perhaps this explains the allure of Saiyaara. Suri's film tempts with the familiar tale of a misunderstood singer to crack open as a tale of two star-crossed lovers who, altering destiny, head for a remedial romance. Both survive because the other survives. The artistry - she writes, he sings - becomes a means. Songs billow from broken hearts but not as a memento of a finished story, but as an accessory to keep sustaining it. Who knew the tortured male artist is just a simp in disguise?
