Saiyaara movie box office collection day 3: In a year dominated by sequels and star-driven spectacles, a romantic drama led by two debutantes has taken the box office by storm. Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara, featuring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has not only delivered a powerful emotional punch but also rewritten box office history. Surpassing all expectations, the film has raked in a staggering ₹83 crore (India net) in its opening weekend, making it the biggest-ever debut for lead actors in Hindi cinema.

Produced by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara opened strong with ₹21 crore on day one, according to estimates by Sacnilk. The momentum continued with ₹25 crore on Saturday and peaked on Sunday with ₹37 crore — its highest single-day total. With this, the film has outpaced Mohit Suri’s previous openers like Ek Villain (₹16 crore) and Aashiqui 2 (₹6.1 crore), placing Saiyaara among the top five highest opening weekends of 2025.

The romantic drama now trails only behind the big-budget releases of the year: Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava (₹121.43 crore), Housefull 5 (₹91.83 crore), and Sikandar (₹86.44 crore). Remarkably, Saiyaara has already surpassed the lifetime collections of other debut-driven hits like Student of the Year (₹70 crore) starring Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra, and is just shy of overtaking Ishaan Khatter and Janhvi Kapoor’s debut movie, Dhadak (₹95.12 crore).

About Saiyaara

But Saiyaara is more than just a box office success. At its heart, it’s a poignant tale of love, loss, and memory. Ahaan Panday plays Krish Kapoor, a passionate yet volatile musician searching for a breakthrough, while Aneet Padda portrays Vaani Batra, a gentle poet and journalist nursing wounds from a failed relationship. Their bond begins when Krish finds inspiration in Vaani’s writing and turns her poetry into music, sparking a creative and emotional journey.

As their artistic collaboration deepens into love, the narrative takes a heartbreaking turn- Vaani’s illness and Krish’s troubled past, marked by a strained relationship with his alcoholic father. Will he choose love or ambition?
