Saiyaara Box Office Preview: Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer run time, screen count, advance booking & opening day
Aditya Chopra has partnered with Mohit Suri to launch two fresh faces – Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda on the big screen with Saiyaara. The film is all set to hit the big screen on July 18, 2025, and the buzz around the film has escalated among the audience owing to the success of title track and theatrical trailer. The Mohit Suri directorial has been certified U/A by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with an approved runtime of 2 hours and 30 minutes. The film is being released all across the country by YRF with their own distribution network, and the studio is looking to bring the film on about 1750 screens nationwide, with the possibility to go higher as well based on the tremendous demand for tickets among the cinema-going audience. The advance bookings for Saiyaara opened at certain centers on Monday evening, and the sales have been out of the world. As on Wednesday at 3.00 PM, Saiyaara has sold approx. 60,000 tickets in the top 3 national chains – PVRInox and Cinepolis – and the film is headed towards a final pre-sale in the north of 1.25 lakh tickets. With 33 hours still to go, Saiyaara has already surpassed the advance booking of several big-ticket films featuring A-List stars, and the final number is sure to send shock-waves in the industry. There is movement in pre-sales of Saiyaara all across the board, be it multiplexes like MovieMax, Miraj, Rajhans, and Prasads or single screens like Shree Agra, Sanjay Cineplex, and Roopbani Cinemas among others. The final pre-sale of Saiyaara will be higher than the 2025 releases like Sitaare Zameen Par, Raid 2, Housefull 5, also big star-cast romantic comedies like Tu Jhoothi Main Makkar, and Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani among others. The film is not just headed to emerge the biggest opening ever for a newcomer film in India, but also the biggest star for a romantic film in the post-pandemic world by a huge margin. The film is looking to score the third biggest advance booking of 2025 after Chhaava and Sikandar, and there is an outside chance to top the latter too depending on the momentum it gets in the next 30 hours. At the moment, the film is looking at a start of Rs 15 crore in India, and if the makers increase the showcasing, it can also do the unthinkable of hitting the Rs 20 crore mark. These numbers are organic, as such kind of advance, especially in the non-national chains can't be orchestrated. There is an offer running on ticket booking platforms, but the response indicates that the film didn't really require the offer to get things rolling in its favour. The makers have capped the offer at Rs 1.50 crore gross, which means that any purchases after the exhaustion of the aforementioned amount allotted for discount will be at full price. Anything above the Rs 5.00 crore would have been a great result for Saiyaara, but the film is performing 4x more than what could have been a great result, which speaks volumes on how earth-shattering the start is. Saiyaara once again speaks volumes about the importance of music and theatrical trailer, as one doesn't need to do all those city tours and campaigns to set the cash registers ringing at the box office in India. The opening of Saiyaara in real terms can be called the best of the last 5 years, as never has a film with fresh faces created such euphoria among the cine-goers. The film is probably seen as an unofficial Aashiqui 3 by the audiences, as the director of Aashiqui 2 is helming the film in a similar space, launching two fresh faces in an intense musical romance – ticking all boxes of what one expects from the Aashiqui franchise. Given the costs, the film is already a HIT on arrival, as the film will be looking to breakeven in two days flat, and then enter into the profit-making phase for the producers. The film has real chances of being the much-needed blockbuster in the romantic genre, opening up the arena for more to follow in the coming two years.

Most profitable Indian movie of 2025; has no superstar, yet beats Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par, Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava, Ajay Devgn's Raid 2, film is…
The year 2025 has been great for Indian films, but in this shining year, the condition of Bollywood was somewhat dull. While South and other regional industries generated huge profits, most Bollywood films proved to be flops. So far this year, only three Hindi films have been able to make profits: Chhaava, Raid 2, and Sitaare Zameen Par. Out of these, only Chhaava proved to be a bigger hit at the box office. On the other hand, low-budget Odia and Gujarati films have created history. And have left everyone behind in terms of profits. Pushpa 2 was also forced to bow down to these regional films. Which is the most profitable film of 2025? According to Koimoi reports, the Odia film Bou Buttu Bhuta has made a huge impact at the box office. This film has been made on a budget of barely 2 to 3 crores. At the same time, the film earned 14.38 crores. In this sense, the film made a profit of up to 667%. After which, it became the highest profit-earning film of 2025. Which Gujarati film made it to the top 3 most profitable films? Gujarati film Umbro has also done wonders. Made on a budget of Rs 4 crores, this film has earned Rs 14.68 crore and has made a profit of 367% and has now become the third highest profit-earning Indian film. Superstars were left behind Although this year, many big blockbuster movies have been released. These include Akshay Kumar's Kesari 2, Ajay Devgn's Raid 2, and Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par. These movies have also earned profits, but they have not been able to make it to the top 10 list of highest profit-earning Indian movies.

‘Sitaare Zameen Par' Box Office collection day 26: Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh starrer slows down; mints Rs 80 lakh on 4th Tuesday
Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh 's latest film, 'Sitaare Zameen Par', has been enjoying a largely successful ride at the box office. Released on 20 June, this touching sports drama directed by RS Prasanna has managed to pull audiences into theatres with its blend of humour, emotion, and a fresh story. However, as it stepped into its fourth week, the film's collection has seen a clear dip on weekdays after holding strong over the weekends. Day 26 Box office update According to early estimates by Sacnilk, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' earned around Rs 80 lakh on its 26th day, pushing its total collection to an impressive Rs 162 crore. In the 4th week we can see a trend of minting under a crore on weekdays. On day 25, it collected Rs 60 lakh. The weekends have been far kinder. On the fourth Sunday, the film made Rs 2.85 crore, and on Saturday, it picked up Rs 2.5 crore. This pattern shows that while the weekdays are slowing down, families and movie lovers are still showing up in good numbers during the weekends. More than just another sports film Directed by RS Prasanna, 'Sitaare Zameen Par' is not your usual sports drama. It beautifully mixes sports, comedy and heartfelt moments. The story follows Aamir Khan as a basketball coach who is suspended and then asked to do community service. This leads him to train a team of players with disabilities for a big tournament. A special cast that steals the show What makes this film truly shine is its remarkable cast. The movie features ten neurodivergent actors, all stepping into the world of cinema for the very first time. They include Aroush Datta as Satbir, Gopi Krishnan Varma as Guddu, Vedant Sharmaa as Bantu, Naman Misra as Hargovind, Rishi Shahani as Sharmaji, Rishabh Jain as Raju, Ashish Pendse as Sunil Gupta, Samvit Desai as Karim Qureshi, Simran Mangeshkar as Golu Khan, and Aayush Bhansali as Lotus. 'Sitaare Zameen Par' review 'Sitaare Zameen Par' has mostly struck the right chord with reviewers. The Times of India gave it a solid 3.5-star rating. The review shared, 'The film mixes sentiment with spunk, avoiding overly preachy tones. ID (intellectual disabilities) is described through relatable lines like, 'Humaari kismat haathon pe nahi, chromosome pe likh ke aati hai (Our destiny isn't written on our palms — it's written in our chromosomes). ' While the underdog sports narrative and troubled-coach arc feel familiar, the film's heart and humour keep it engaging.' But it wasn't all glowing. The same review also pointed out a few bumps in the story. It noted, 'That said, the story does wander. Subplots involving his mother, Preeto ( Dolly Ahluwalia Tewari), and their butler Daulatji (Bijendra Kala) contribute little to the core story. A few other sequences feel stretched, and pacing suffers in parts. The climax gets overly sentimental in parts. Some scenes, like the team managing airfare and accommodation for the final match, come across as convenient and trite.'
