Saiyaara marks a return to Mohit Suri's signature style — haunting romance with chartbuster music and emotional depth. In terms of box office ranking, Saiyaara has now gone ahead of Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi 's Bhool Chuk Maaf (Rs 72.73 crore) and going by the Monday advance booking numbers the film will go past Akshay Kumar 's Kesari 2 (Rs 92.58 crore) and Sunny Deol 's Jaat Rs 88.72 crore) by the end of the day. And by Tuesday it is expected to go past Salman Khan 's Sikandar – Ra (Rs 110.36 crore) and Akshay's Sky Force ( Rs 113.62 crore), which would place it firmly among the top 5 Hindi grossers of the year. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Die intelligentere Art, Ihre Anlageziele zu erreichen eToro Learn More Undo The film's prospects have further brightened with the recent postponement of Son of Sardaar 2 to August 1. With no major releases lined up next weekend, Saiyaara is expected to enjoy an uninterrupted two-week run, making it a strong contender to overtake , Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par (Rs 165.49 crore), and even Ajay Devgn's Raid 2 (Rs 173.44 crore). The year's top grosser so far is Chhava with Rs 585.7 crore, followed by Housefull 5 (Rs 183.38 crore). With strong weekday collections and a solid second weekend, Saiyaara could realistically aim for the #2 spot, which would be a historic feat for a film led by newcomers. In an industry where legacy names and IP-driven franchises dominate, Saiyaara proves that compelling storytelling, fresh casting, and heartfelt music still have the power to captivate audiences and rewrite the box office narrative.

Deepak Tijori: 'I narrated Baazigar to Abbas-Mustan but they made it with Shah Rukh Khan, I asked them...'
Deepak said that the directors apologised to him, saying 'please forgive us, we made a mistake.' read more Abbas-Mustan's 1993 blockbuster Baazigar made Shah Rukh Khan an overnight star, but it was Deepak Tijori who was earlier supposed to do it. He made some revelations in an interview with India Today. The actor said, 'I'm a living example of that. Abbas-Mustan were the ones who were supposed to direct it. I had actually narrated the film to them, but they deferred and went to Shah Rukh. Shah (SRK) and I were friends. There was a VHS cassette of A Kiss Before Dying at his place. I asked him about it, and he said, 'Your director came to me, left this tape, and told me not to say yes until you say no.' So he waited on me.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Deepak said that the directors apologised to him, saying 'please forgive us, we made a mistake. We'll compensate you someday', but Deepak told them that it was 'forgotten'. Shilpa Shetty has crafted an illustrious career in Bollywood, and she has delivered several iconic films throughout her journey. Among many, one of her classic films is 'Baazigar'. In recent times, the film's climax scene - featuring Shah Rukh Khan pushing Shilpa Shetty from a building - has received a lot of attention among the youth on social media. Recently, the actress graced a renowned film festival, and spilled the deets about shooting the climax of 'Baazigar'. 'I had no knowledge about films at that time, and I didn't know how to approach it. I was like a student on set. I used to be very nervous back then. Because I came from a South Indian background, I never spoke in Hindi on the sets. When I did 'Aag', I asked Kader Bhai to teach me Urdu, and that's when I learned from scratch. I used to feel very nervous about dialogue deliveries. But all of it is okay because I am able to convey. People understand what I am trying to say,' she shared.

Saiyaara box office collection day 3: Ahaan Panday's debut film surpasses Alia Bhatt-starrer SOTY's lifetime earnings, beats Sunny Deol's Jaat as it rakes in Rs 83.07 cr
Backed by strong word-of-mouth and glowing reviews from critics and the Bollywood fraternity, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's debut film Saiyaara has scored a bumper opening and delivered a record-breaking first weekend at the box office. The film is proving to be a trailblazer, setting a new benchmark for box office collections by debutant-led projects. According to Sacnilk, the film minted Rs 37 crore on Sunday, bringing its total domestic collection to Rs 83.07 crore. The Mohit Suri directorial began its box office journey by minting Rs 21 crore. The film received positive word-of-mouth, with social media abuzz with visuals of packed theatres as audiences enjoyed the film, especially in theatres across tier I, II, and III cities in India. The strong word-of-mouth helped the film register a 25 percent increase in collections on Saturday, earning Rs 25 crore. The momentum continued on Sunday, with collections surging by 48 percent to Rs 37 crore. Saiyaara recorded an overall 71.18% Hindi occupancy on Sunday, with peak turnout during the evening shows (88.15%), followed by the night (78.53%) and afternoon (78.53%) shows — showing consistent occupancy throughout the day. The film also recorded the highest number of screenings — 1,120 shows — in the Delhi-NCR region, which also reported the highest occupancy. Delhi was closely followed by other major cities like Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad in terms of high turnout. Saiyaara has emerged as one of the biggest openers and debut weekend earners for a newcomer in Hindi cinema. The film surpassed the total domestic collection of Alia Bhatt's debut film Student of the Year (SOTY) within just three days of release. SOTY had minted Rs 70 crore in India in 2012. In 2019, Ahaan Panday's cousin Ananya Panday made her debut with SOTY 2. His film has already overtaken SOTY 2's lifetime India collection of Rs 70.86 crore. Saiyaara is also on track to surpass the lifetime domestic earnings of Janhvi Kapoor's debut film Dhadak, which stood at Rs 95.12 crore. Saiyaara is already among the highest-grossing Hindi films of 2025. It has surpassed the lifetime India collection of John Abraham's Diplomat, which stood at Rs 38.97 crore. The film is also expected to cross Rajkummar Rao's Bhool Chuk Maaf, which earned Rs 90.78 crore in India. At present, Saiyaara is trailing only behind the biggest releases of 2025 such as Chhava, Housefull 5, and Sikandar. It is expected to soon surpass Sunny Deol-starrer Jaat's total domestic collection of Rs 88.26 crore. In fact, Jaat minted only Rs 26 crore within the first three days of release, compared to Saiyaara's Rs 83.07 crore.
