Bollywood has always been recognised globally for its magical and grand love stories with soulful music. However, it has been decades since a romantic drama film ignited a frenzy among fans and became a blockbuster. It seems that Yash Raj Films’ Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri, has broken this years-long drought of romantic movies. Starring two debutants, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, Saiyaara has already amassed earnings in double digits on its first day, a rare feat for films featuring newcomers.
Saiyaara’s early earnings report
According to a Sacnilk report, with pre-bookings alone, Saiyaara had sold over one lakh tickets and earned Rs. 4.41 crore. Now, after its release on July 18, 2025, the film has collected Rs. 21 crores on its opening day, according to the same portal. Additionally, it had an occupancy rate of nearly 44%. These numbers are quite huge for a film with debutants.
