Romance is ruling OTT. Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s debut film Saiyaara is not just a box office hit but also a massive digital success. The Mohit Suri directorial has now outshined even Rajinikanth’s Coolie in streaming numbers. Within its very first week, Saiyaara has become the most-watched film across platforms.
Saiyaara Dominates OTT
Released on Netflix on September 12, Saiyaara carried forward its big-screen success. The film registered 5.5 million viewers in its debut week, according to Ormax reports. With this, it has surpassed Rajinikanth’s Coolie, which recorded 4.7 million viewers on Amazon Prime Video.
This achievement makes Saiyaara the most-watched Indian film on OTT between September 8 and 14.
Saiyaara Story And Box Office Journey
The movie tells the emotional love story of Krish, a passionate musician, and Vaani, a talented lyricist. Their journey is filled with dreams, heartbreaks, and fate’s cruel turns.
Released in theatres on July 18, Saiyaara became one of 2025’s biggest romantic blockbusters. It was praised for its soulful music, Mohit Suri’s signature storytelling, and the fresh pairing of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. The film’s box office success carried over to streaming, making it one of the rare love stories to shine equally in both spaces. It collected around Rs 338 crore nett in India at box office.
Coolie’s OTT Performance
On the other hand, Rajinikanth’s Coolie created huge buzz before its release. Directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, the Tamil gangster drama boasts a star-studded cast with Rajinikanth, Nagarjuna, Shruti Haasan, Upendra, Sathyaraj, Aamir Khan, and others.
The film released in cinemas on August 15 and later on Amazon Prime Video on September 11. Despite its massive hype, Coolie managed 4.7 million viewers on OTT in its first week, placing it second after Saiyaara.
