On it’s second Friday the film earned Rs 18 crore and till 2 PM on Saturday it added another Rs 6.56 crore, thus taking the total to Rs 197.31 crore and counting.

The chemistry between Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda has struck a chord with audiences, while the haunting title track has gone viral across platforms.Interestingly, this is not just a win for Mohit Suri or the debutants—Saiyaara also marks the rare case of a non-franchise film, devoid of superstar names or IP, to break into the coveted Top 50 list. It now sits above several major films in terms of net collections and footfalls. Saiyaara is expected to climb even higher on the all-time charts. Industry insiders are already calling it the “dark horse of 2025” and possibly the year’s biggest surprise success.
