Against all odds and with zero promotional blitz, Saiyaara has struck an emotional and commercial chord with audiences. Featuring debutant Ahaan Panday and model-turned-actress Aneet Padda, the musical romantic drama has not only defied expectations at the box office but also captured hearts with its heartfelt storyline—so much so that emotional scenes are already making the rounds online.
Rs 31.71 crore in two days
According to Sacnilk, the film has collected Rs 10.71 crore since Saturday morning, taking its two-day total to Rs 31.71 crore in India. However, this isn’t the final figure. Given the current pace, the weekend collection is expected to touch the Rs 40 crore mark, signaling strong word-of-mouth and sustained interest.
Occupancy on the Rise
Saiyaara recorded an overall 39.41 percent Hindi occupancy on Saturday, with the morning shows seeing 28.14 percent and a significant jump to 50.67 percent by the afternoon. The growing turnout reflects increasing buzz and audience interest as the weekend progresses.
Upcoming clash at box office
Earlier, Saiyaara enjoyed a solo week at the box office, but now it’s set for a longer run. With the makers of Son of Sardaar 2 (starring Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur) postponing its release, Mohit Suri’s directorial gets a two-week breather. The film will now face competition on August 1, clashing with Dhadak 2 featuring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri.Moviegoers who caught Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s romantic drama on release day took to social media to share the film’s emotional climax. The widely circulated clip reveals the protagonists getting married, but with a heartbreaking twist—Aneet’s character, Vaani, is battling Alzheimer’s and forgets her love, Krish (played by Ahaan). Despite the spoiler, many praised the poignant ending and performances.
