Saiyaara Beats Raid 2, Sikandar, And Housefull 5 In Advance Booking; Now 2nd Biggest Of 2025

The buzz around Saiyaara is louder than ever — and the numbers prove it. Directed by Mohit Suri, this romantic drama starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda is defying all the usual box office rules for a non-holiday, non-franchise release.

Backed by YRF and Aditya Chopra, Saiyaara has already crossed 1,50,000+ tickets sold across national cinema chains by 5 PM today — and it’s on track to hit 2 lakh tickets before the first show rolls out. For a fresh pairing, that’s nothing short of historic.

The latest booking breakdown shows just how wide the excitement has spread till 5 PM:

  • PVR INOX: 1,12,000 tickets
  • Cinepolis: 33,000 tickets
  • Moviemax: 8000 tickets

These figures show an unstoppable upward trend, with pre-sales likely to leapfrog other big 2025 titles like Sikandar (1,43,000), Housefull 5 (94,750), Raid 2 (93,000), and Sitaare Zameen Par (49,750).

With nearly 12 hours to go before its first screening, Saiyaara is still adding thousands of tickets every hour, inching closer to the year’s top spot, which Chhaava currently holds with 2.23 lakh tickets.

 

Saiyaara Hype: What’s Fueling The Craze?

The film’s success story is rooted in its fresh approach — two newcomers paired in a romantic saga with a soulful soundtrack and classic Mohit Suri storytelling. Though Saiyaara doesn’t officially belong to the Aashiqui franchise, its vibe has reminded audiences of that musical era — a nostalgia that’s working in its favour.

And this isn’t just an online buzz. The audience is paying to watch new faces on the big screen, not just follow them on Instagram reels. That’s a big win for original storytelling.

 

Saiyaara Is Everywhere!

The demand isn’t limited to PVR, INOX, or Cinepolis. Smaller circuits like Rajhans, MovieMax, and Miraj are reporting solid numbers too. Single screens like Sanjay Cineplex, Roopbani Cinemas, and Shree Agra are all experiencing brisk sales, proving that Saiyaara is connecting with audiences far and wide.

 

Saiyaara Beats Other Recent Rom-Coms

What makes this run special is that Saiyaara is pacing ahead of bigger romantic comedies like Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar. These star-studded films couldn’t create the same genuine ground-level excitement that Saiyaara is enjoying right now.

If this trend holds, the film is likely to clock an opening day in the Rs 22 crore range — and could push higher if more shows are added to meet demand.

 

Saiyaara Shines Abroad Too

The hype doesn’t stop at India’s borders. Overseas, Saiyaara is projected to cross USD 1 million in its opening weekend — a remarkable feat for a movie driven by debutant leads.

Mohit Suri’s brand of music-backed romance has always struck a chord internationally, and Saiyaara seems set to continue that streak.

 

Will Saiyaara Dethrone Chhaava?

The big question now is: can Saiyaara surpass Chhaava’s record? With the current surge in ticket sales, it’s not impossible. If momentum continues through the final hours, Saiyaara could pull off the surprise of the year, turning this fresh love story into 2025’s biggest pre-release success.

 

Final Word

From music to marketing, everything is clicking for Saiyaara. Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda are all set for a dream debut, Mohit Suri is ready to deliver another heartfelt romance, and audiences are lining up in record numbers to watch love unfold on the big screen.

So if you haven’t booked your tickets yet, now’s the time — be part of the story that everyone will be talking about this weekend!
