Bollywood has witnessed several iconic love stories over the years, but rarely has one managed to achieve what Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara has done. Featuring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in lead roles, this romantic drama has gone on to shatter every possible record at the ticket windows, officially becoming the highest-grossing love story in Indian cinema history.
From its extraordinary opening week to sustaining momentum across seven weeks, Saiyaara has proved to be a once-in-a-generation blockbuster. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its collections and how the film achieved this unimaginable feat.
Saiyaara Week-Wise Box Office Journey
Saiyaara opened with a fantabulous week one, collecting ₹175.25 crore. With such strong word of mouth, the film saw excellent growth even in its second week, where it added another ₹110 crore.
While most films begin to taper off sharply after two weeks, Saiyaara showed remarkable strength. In week three, it collected ₹29.75 crore, followed by ₹15.45 crore in week four. Even by week five, the film managed ₹3.05 crore and further surprised trade circles with ₹3.25 crore in week six.
| Period | Collection |
|---|---|
| Week 1 | Rs 175.25 crore |
| Week 2 | Rs 110 crore |
| Week 3 | Rs 29.75 crore |
| Week 4 | Rs 15.45 crore |
| Week 5 | Rs 3.05 crore |
| Week 6 | Rs 3.25 crore |
| Weekend 7 | Rs 40 lakh |
| Day 46 | Rs 5 lakh |
By weekend seven, Saiyaara was still bringing audiences to theatres, earning ₹40 lakh, and on day 46, it added ₹5 lakh more — an achievement that very few films in recent times can boast of.
Saiyaara Total Box Office Collection
By the end of its seventh weekend, Saiyaara’s lifetime figures stood at:
- India Nett: ₹337.20 crore
- India Gross: ₹412 crore
- Overseas Gross: ₹169 crore
- Worldwide Gross: ₹581 crore
Crossing the monumental ₹581 crore worldwide gross, Saiyaara has etched its name in the history books. The film continues to run in several centres and is all set to complete 50 glorious days at the box office.
What Made Saiyaara A Blockbuster?
Several factors contributed to the historic run of Saiyaara:
- Fresh Pairing of Ahaan Panday And Aneet Padda: Audiences instantly connected with the on-screen chemistry of the lead pair, making them the new-age romantic icons.
- Mohit Suri’s Direction: Known for his knack for emotional storytelling and powerful music, Suri delivered one of his career-best films.
- Soulful Music Album: The soundtrack became an anthem among youngsters, with the title track “Saiyaara” trending on every playlist and social media reel. Not only title track, but also other songs like Barbaad, Dhun, Saiyaara Female, Barbaad Female, Tum Ho To, and even Humsafar are chartbusters.
- Positive Word of Mouth: Despite modest expectations pre-release, the film’s emotional appeal and relatability turned it into a massive crowd-puller.
Comparison With Other Love Stories
Before Saiyaara, films like Aashiqui 2, and Kabir Singh had set benchmarks for romantic dramas at the box office. However, none managed to cross the ₹500 crore worldwide gross club.
Saiyaara has now raised the bar, setting a new standard for future Bollywood love stories. It is not just the highest-grossing romantic film but also one of the top all-time grossers in Hindi cinema.
Final Word
What started as a modest romantic drama has now turned into an era-defining blockbuster. Saiyaara’s phenomenal box office journey proves once again that good storytelling, soulful music, and fresh talent can still bring audiences in large numbers to theatres.
As the film inches towards completing its 50-day theatrical run, one thing is certain — Saiyaara is not just a movie; it’s a cultural phenomenon.
