No big stars. No franchise baggage. No festival advantage. And yet, Saiyaara has done what even the most hyped films couldn’t—light up the box office with pure content and musical magic. Directed by Mohit Suri and starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, this romantic musical saga has struck the right chord with audiences across the nation. And the Day 1 collection is proof—Saiyaara has set the cash registers ringing like never before for a debut-led film.

Who would’ve thought that a film without any star power, franchise pull, or aggressive promotional tours would beat the biggest of biggies? Yes, you read that right! Saiyaara has become the biggest opener ever for a film headlined by newcomers, smashing past benchmarks set by films like Dhadak. The numbers are speaking loud and clear: Saiyaara collected a whopping Rs 21.25 crore on Day 1. The shows for Saiyaara have been increased from today to overcome the demand. Today, on Day 2, Saiyaara is all set to cross Rs 28 crore, and it could be even more.
It’s not just the numbers, but the audience energy that’s got everyone talking. From metros to tier-2 and tier-3 cities, from multiplexes to single screens, the film is witnessing houseful shows and long queues outside cinema halls. The Housefull boards are finally back, and Mohit Suri is once again at the centre of a revival moment in Bollywood.

I find Saiyaara ‘Soulful’. Ahaan Panday surprises with an emotionally rich performance, and Aneet Padda makes a lasting impression with her subtle expressions and on-screen honesty. Their chemistry feels natural, never forced, and you root for them from the word go.
The film doesn’t rely on over-the-top drama or typical Bollywood tropes. It’s a tender, melancholic tale of love, longing, and dreams, wrapped in a stunning musical score. Mohit Suri, known for films like Awarapan, Woh Lamhe, Aashiqui 2, Ek Villain, Murder 2, and Malang, brings back the magic of soul-stirring romance with emotional depth.
The music of Saiyaara is undoubtedly its backbone. Every song feels like a page out of a heartfelt poetry book—not just hummable, but hauntingly beautiful. The background score elevates key moments and lingers with you long after the film ends.

Saiyaara Blockbuster Weekend Loading
With such a massive Day 1 and positive word-of-mouth, Saiyaara is eyeing a 100 crore plus week 1, and it honestly seems achievable. The advance bookings for Saturday and Sunday are on fire, beating out even titles like Sikandar, Raid 2, Housefull 5, and Sitaare Zameen Par.
There’s genuine excitement around this film—people are coming back for repeat viewings, and the youth is resonating with the theme and soundtrack. It’s rare for a film with fresh faces to cause this kind of frenzy, but Saiyaara is not just a film—it’s an emotion.
Final Word
Mohit Suri has crafted a gem. Saiyaara proves that good storytelling, relatable emotions, and magical music can beat star power any day. With a phenomenal Rs 21.25 crore start, this underdog has now become the front-runner for the most loved romantic drama of the year. Get ready for a storm this weekend, Saiyaara is not slowing down anytime soon.
