Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri, has completed its first week at the box office with a remarkable Rs 172.71 crore in domestic collections. The romantic drama, starring debutants Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda, has quickly become one of the year’s biggest commercial successes.
According to reports from Sacnilk, the film earned Rs 18.75 crore on its sixth day, pushing its domestic total to Rs 172.50 crore. Despite witnessing a slight dip in revenue over the last two days (July 23 and 24), the film has not lost its momentum.
The strong opening has already seen Saiyaara break several 2025 records, including one of the highest-grossing first weekends of the year. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to social media platform X to talk about the film’s success.
“300 CR? 400 CR? OR MORE? – ‘SAIYAARA’ IS ON A RECORD-SMASHING SPREE… #Saiyaara is rewriting the rules of the game… At this stage, no one can confidently predict where its lifetime total will land.”
He further remarked, “The pace at which #Saiyaara is soaring – day after day – is incredible… The film has collected Rs 20 cr+ for the sixth consecutive day on Wednesday – a truly unprecedented feat for a film starring debutants.”
“The film has crossed Rs 150 cr in just 6 days and is on track to close Week 1 at around Rs 175 cr – a monumental achievement… With no major competition this Friday, #Saiyaara is sure to post a massive number in Weekend 2 as well.”
Adarsh ended his post with a question on every industry watcher’s mind. “₹200 cr will be crossed comfortably before Weekend 2 concludes, and with ₹300 cr well within reach, the big question now is: Can #Saiyaara hit ₹400 cr?”
