Saiyaara is the flavour of the season. The Mohit Suri film has not just been loved by the audience and the critics, but it has also surprised trade pundits with its record-breaking box office collections. As of August 3, Saiyaara is entering the ₹300-crore club, a first for any romantic film in India. It is already the second-highest-grossing Indian film of 2025.

Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda newcomers
This movie has earned ₹292 crore net in India in its first 16 days, and it’s set to cross ₹300 crore domestically by Sunday evening. The film, which stars newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has a worldwide haul of ₹460 crore, which includes an overseas collection of over $13 million.
According to trade sources, Saiyaara’s footfalls in India are around 1.4 crore right now. Given that the film is set for an almost ₹20-crore third weekend, it still has legs to continue earning for another couple of weeks. It is likely that Saiyaara will end its run only once War 2 takes the bulk of the screens starting 14 August. Till then, it has an unchecked run.
Estimates say that the film could end its run with over 1.8 crore admissions, and a final collection close to ₹350 crore in India, and over ₹500 crore worldwide.
We will discuss why Saiyaara has become this big hit in another story.
