Who would’ve thought that a debut film like Saiyaara would shake up the entire Bollywood box office? With no big stars, no aggressive marketing, and a modest ₹60 crore budget, the film has outpaced giants like Sikandar and Sitaare Zameen Par and is now eyeing Housefull 5 and Raid 2.
In just 6 days, Saiyaara has become the biggest surprise of 2025 — proving that fresh faces and strong content can still win hearts and break records. No noise, no overhype—just pure audience love doing the magic.
Saiyaara has achieved remarkable success at the box office in its first week, surprising trade analysts and setting a new benchmark for romantic dramas in 2025. The film opened strongly on Friday with ₹21.5 crore, but what followed was even more impressive. Saturday saw a significant jump to ₹26 crore, and by Sunday, collections soared to ₹35.75 crore, marking the film’s highest single-day collection.
Unlike most romantic films that dip post-weekend, Saiyaara held firm—earning ₹24 crore on Monday and surprising everyone with a Tuesday surge of ₹25 crore. By Day 5, the India net total had already crossed ₹132 crore. The momentum didn’t stop there. Wednesday brought in another ₹21 crore, and even with new competition on Thursday, the film held steady with ₹3.01 crore, taking its 7-day India net total to ₹156.26 crore.
Globally, the numbers are just as solid. The film’s India gross stands at approximately ₹181 crore, while its overseas collections are estimated to be between ₹23 crore and ₹ 30 crore, depending on the source. This brings Saiyaara’s worldwide gross to anywhere between ₹204 crore and ₹242 crore within a week—an extraordinary achievement for a film led by debutants.
The film has even surpassed the lifetime collections of several big-banner releases, such as Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar and Sikandar, and is fast catching up with Sitaare Zameen Par. Due to overwhelming demand, the screen count jumped from 800 on Day 1 to over 2,000 by midweek. And let’s be honest—this kind of result was only possible because the content truly connected. If the story wasn’t strong, no amount of buzz could’ve saved it. Saiyaara won hearts because it had soul, not just surface—and that’s precisely why audiences kept showing up, day after day.
With such powerful weekday numbers and word-of-mouth still going strong, Saiyaara has turned into 2025’s most unexpected blockbuster. It’s more than just a hit—it’s a landmark debut for Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda and a big win for Mohit Suri’s storytelling. In just seven days, Saiyaara has done what many star-studded films couldn’t: won the audience’s heart and the box office—both effortlessly.
