Who would’ve imagined that a film headlined by two debutantes — Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda — would rewrite the rules of box office success in 2025? But here we are! Mohit Suri’s romantic thriller Saiyaara has now achieved a feat that many seasoned actors and commercial franchises can only dream of. Yes, the film has officially crossed the ₹300 crore mark in India, and that too in just 17 days! Let’s break it down and see how Saiyaara stormed through its third weekend, despite new releases and stiff competition.
The First Debut Duo To Cross ₹300 Crore!
This is no small milestone. Saiyaara has now become the first-ever debut film of lead actors to cross the ₹300 crore mark at the Indian box office. That too without the usual recipe of a pan-India star, massive marketing blitz, or franchise pull.
The film had a strong start in Week 1 with ₹175.25 crore, followed by a rock-solid ₹110 crore in Week 2. Now, in its third weekend, Saiyaara collected another ₹20.25 crore, maintaining a steady hold in a competitive scenario.

Despite fresh releases like Dhadak 2 and Son of Sardaar 2, and the continued domination of Mahavatar Narsimha, Saiyaara stood tall and consistent. Here’s how Weekend 3 shaped up:
- Day 15 (Friday): ₹5 crore
- Day 16 (Saturday): ₹7 crore
- Day 17 (Sunday): ₹8.25 crore
- Total Weekend 3: ₹20.25 crore
With this, Saiyaara has taken its total India net collection to a staggering ₹305.50 crore!

The Word-of-Mouth Is Unstoppable!
What’s driving these crazy numbers? It’s pure word-of-mouth magic! Audiences are connecting with the emotion, the heartbreak, the music, and above all, the chemistry between Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. People are not just watching it once, they’re going back for repeat viewings — and in today’s OTT-obsessed world, that’s a huge win for any theatrical release.
Holding Strong Amidst New Releases
Let’s be real — Saiyaara is not sailing through an empty weekend. It’s battling big titles like Dhadak 2, which is performing well, and Mahavatar Narsimha, which continues to have a dedicated following. And yet, Saiyaara is holding its ground like a seasoned warrior.
With War 2 on the horizon, this might be Saiyaara’s last fully undisturbed weekend. But from the looks of it, the film is going to make the most of every single day till then!
Saiyaara Is The Underdog Blockbuster India Needed!
Mohit Suri has delivered a genre-defining film once again, and this time with two new faces who have turned into overnight stars. From zero expectations to ₹300+ crore collections, Saiyaara is not just a hit — it’s a phenomenon.
The stage is now set for a legendary Week 4. Can Saiyaara challenge even bigger lifetime records? At this point, we wouldn’t be surprised.
