Saiyaara Nets Rs 27 Crore On 2nd Saturday; Crosses Rs 200 Crore In India
After becoming the first film led by debutants to net Rs 100 crore, Saiyaara has also become the first to net Rs 200 crore. Rs 300 crore is a lock deal and Rs 400 crore is also in sight, provided the film holds even after the release of Son Of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2.
The Day Wise Net India Collections Of Saiyaara Are As Under
Saiyaara Will Zoom Past Rs 350 Crore Worldwide By The End Of 2nd Sunday
Saiyaara will be standing at around Rs 240 crore net (Rs 289 crore gross) by the end of the second weekend in India. The overseas collections will be around USD 9 million (Rs 78 crore gross), taking the film, well over Rs 350 crore worldwide. The target for Saiyaara is to atleast hit Rs 600 crore gross worldwide if not more, based on its trend. To note, the day 1 expectations for the film were in the Rs 3 - 4 crore vicinity, a week prior to its release. For the musical to open with 5 times its expected day 1 numbers, and then go on the run that it has, it's is quite an achievement.
Saiyaara Is Among India's Most Profitable Films
With the songs of Saiyaara blowing up, and with the non-theatrical deal likely to be revised in favour of the film's makers, it is certain that the producers will be in profit even without the global theatrical share. The global theatrical share, that's expected to be in excess of Rs 250 crore, will be the additional profits from the film. Hand's down, Saiyaara is one of India's most profitable films.
