Saiyaara, the romantic drama directed by Mohit Suri, has officially entered the Rs 100 crore club within just four days of its release.
Saiyaara Movie ReviewThe film, which marks the big-screen debut of
Ahaan Panday and
Aneet Padda, has defied expectations to become one of 2025’s biggest sleeper hits. It has also set a new benchmark for box office collections by films featuring debutant actors.
Box Office Performance
According to early estimates by Sacnilk, Saiyaara opened with a solid Rs 21 crore on Day 1 (Friday). The numbers grew on Saturday, reaching Rs 26 crore, and peaked on Sunday with an estimated Rs 35.75 crore, the film’s highest single-day total. On Monday, as expected, the film saw a dip in collections, earning an estimated Rs 22.50 crore.
Despite the Monday drop, Saiyaara managed to surpass the Rs 100 crore mark, bringing its total India net collection to Rs 105.75 crore in just four days.
Highest Earning Films of 2025
With this milestone, Saiyaara has climbed to the 7th spot on the list of highest-grossing Bollywood films of 2025, overtaking Akshay Kumar and Ananya Panday’s 'Kesari Chapter 2' (Rs 92 crore lifetime) and Sunny Deol’s 'Jaat' (Rs 88 crore net). It now trails just behind Salman Khan’s 'Sikandar' (approx. Rs 110 crore) and Akshay’s 'Sky Force' (approx. Rs 112 crore).
The film has struck a chord with audiences, thanks to its emotional narrative, soaring music, and breakout performances by the debutants. If it continues its strong run at the box office, 'Saiyaara' could cross the Rs 150 crore mark by the end of its first week, potentially breaking into the Top 5 Bollywood releases of the year.
Bollywood Stars Shower Praise
Industry peers have also taken notice. Ahaan and Aneet’s performances have received praise from across the fraternity, with stars like Anil Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Karan Johar publicly applauding the newcomers. Ranveer even posted a heartfelt message on Instagram, praising Saiyaara and its leads. In response, Ahaan shared, “Words don’t suffice when cinema himself is showing praise. Thank you, sir.”
In a star-driven box office, 'Saiyaara' has rewritten the rules by not only becoming the most successful dual-debut film in Bollywood history, but doing so in record time.

While 'Saiyaara' has managed to woo the audience, and beat several big-ticket films to cross the Rs 100 crore mark, the romantic flick will face some competition this weekend with the release of the Marvel superhero movie 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps'.

According to reports, the film is even tracking a $145 million debut at the American box office.
The music of 'Saiyaara', which features seven songs composed by Mithoon, Sachet-Parampara, Tanishk Bagchi, Rishabh Kant, Vishal Mishra, Faheem Abdullah and Arslan Nisami, is already a chartbuster.
