After a solid start over the weekend, Saiyaara maintained excellent momentum on Monday in North America. It posted an impressive $270K on Day 4 (Monday), despite it being a weekday — the second-highest Monday of the year in the territory after Chhaava, the historical epic starring Vicky Kaushal. This brought its four-day North American total to just over $1 million, a remarkable feat for a film featuring newcomers and limited pre-release hype abroad.The day-wise breakdown of Saiyaara’s North America collections paints a clear picture of growing word of mouth and increasing audience interest:
- Day 1 (Friday): $180K
- Day 2 (Saturday): $260K
- Day 3 (Sunday): $352K
- Day 4 (Monday): $270K
These numbers not only reflect the emotional connect and strong content but also the appeal of its music, visuals, and lead pair chemistry. Mohit Suri, known for his romantic hits like Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villain, seems to have struck gold once again with his signature blend of heartbreak, passion, and melody.Back home in India, Saiyaara has crossed Rs 100 crore in just four days, with early estimates for Monday putting the Day 4 collection at Rs 22.5 crore. The film’s Indian total now stands at Rs 105.75 crore. Mohit Suri and debutants have been a pair made in heaven. He has been responsible for not only launching new talents like Emraan Hashmi but also reviving careers of stars like Shraddha Kapoor, Aditya Roy Kapur and Sidharth Malhotra and giving them new lease of life.
