Bollywood’s Biggest Opening Weekend Of 2025: Saiyaara Beats Housefull 5, Raid 2, And Sikandar

2025 has been a wild ride for Bollywood so far! From action-packed entertainers to emotional family dramas and patriotic thrillers, the first half of the year has delivered back-to-back blockbusters. And this weekend, we witnessed yet another phenomenon unfold—Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara making its smashing debut with a mind-blowing Rs 84 crore nett in just 3 days! With this, Saiyaara has officially bagged the second-biggest opening weekend of 2025, just behind Vicky Kaushal’s historic Chhaava. The film has managed to stand tall among the year’s biggest releases, and it’s not slowing down anytime soon.

 

Biggest Opening Weekend For Bollywood Movies In 2025

Here’s how the Top 7 Bollywood films of 2025 stack up based on their Weekend 1 collections:

  • Chhaava – Rs 108 crore
  • Saiyaara – Rs 84 crore
  • Housefull 5 – Rs 79 crore
  • Sikandar – Rs 71 crore
  • Sky Force – Rs 63 crore
  • Sitaare Zameen Par – Rs 58 crore
  • Raid 2 – Rs 49.25 crore

These numbers clearly reflect one thing—audiences are loving the big-screen experience again. And leading this wave with style and substance is Saiyaara, a film that not only introduced fresh faces but also brought back the charm of soulful romantic thrillers.

 

Saiyaara’s Dream Run

With Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda making their big debut under YRF and the seasoned direction of Mohit Suri, Saiyaara was always expected to make noise. But what we’re seeing now is beyond expectations! Here’s how Saiyaara performed over the weekend:

  • Day 1 [Fri]: Rs 22 crore
  • Day 2 [Sat]: Rs 26.25 crore
  • Day 3 [Sun]: Rs 35.75 crore
  • Weekend Total: Rs 84 crore (India nett)

The film opened strong, gained momentum on Saturday, and went full throttle on Sunday with housefull shows across several territories, especially North India and metros. Despite fewer screens compared to big-budget tentpoles, Saiyaara has proved that good content combined with strong music and emotional connect always wins.

If the opening weekend is anything to go by, Saiyaara is here for the long haul. Early projections suggest that the film could easily cruise past the Rs 200-250 crore mark in the coming weeks. It has joined the league of mega-hits like Chhaava, Housefull 5, and Sikandar, but what makes Saiyaara special is that it did so with fresh faces and a powerful narrative.

2025 may have seen bigger stars, but Saiyaara brought back the soul of Bollywood—and the audience is loving it.
