Saiyaara Crosses ₹200 Crore, Beats Baahubali 2, Pathaan, Dangal at Box Office

Mumbai, July 28 (IndyaStory Magazine) — Saiyaara, the romantic musical directed by Mohit Suri, is rewriting box office history. The film, which stars debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has officially crossed the ₹200 crore mark and is now inching toward ₹250 crore. As per early estimates, the film’s total collection stands at a staggering ₹244.8 crore by the end of its second Sunday.

What makes Saiyaara remarkable is not just the numbers—but its consistency and audience connection.

Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda Shine in ₹244.8 Crore Blockbuster

Released earlier this month, Saiyaara opened strong and hasn’t looked back. Its first weekend alone brought in over ₹84 crore, with day-wise collections of ₹22 crore (Friday), ₹26.25 crore (Saturday), and ₹36.25 crore (Sunday). The film wrapped up its first week with ₹172.75 crore.

The momentum carried into its second weekend as well. Day 8 (Friday) earned ₹18.5 crore, Day 9 (Saturday) surprised trade analysts with ₹27 crore, and Day 10 (Sunday) added ₹17.92 crore by evening estimates—bringing the total to ₹244.8 crore.

Outperforming Bollywood Giants: Saiyaara Tops Baahubali 2, Pathaan

On its second Saturday, Saiyaara surpassed the Hindi version of Baahubali 2, which had collected ₹26.5 crore on the same day. Here’s how Saiyaara compares to other Hindi blockbusters on second Saturdays:

• Pushpa 2 (Hindi): ₹46.50 crore
• Animal: ₹35.33 crore
• Stree 2: ₹33.80 crore
• Jawan: ₹32.30 crore
• Gadar 2: ₹31.07 crore
• Saiyaara: ₹27.00 crore
• Baahubali 2 (Hindi): ₹26.50 crore
• The Kashmir Files: ₹24.80 crore
• Dangal: ₹23.07 crore
• Pathaan: ₹22.50 crore

This performance places Saiyaara among the top 10 second Saturday earners in the history of Hindi cinema.

Aiming for the ₹300 Crore Club?

Initially projected to peak around ₹200 crore, Saiyaara has shattered all expectations. With strong word-of-mouth, growing fan engagement, and a soundtrack that’s dominating streaming charts, the film is now targeting the ₹300 crore club.

If it achieves this, Saiyaara will become only the second Hindi film in 2025 to enter the elite ₹300 crore bracket—following Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava, which has crossed ₹600 crore globally.

The Mohit Suri Factor

Director Mohit Suri has long been known for emotionally resonant love stories paired with powerful music, from Aashiqui 2 to Ek Villain. With Saiyaara, he has not only reintroduced his signature touch but also established two promising newcomers in Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda as bankable stars.

Conclusion

As Saiyaara continues its dream run, it’s clear that audiences are embracing a new generation of actors and musical storytelling. Whether it reaches ₹300 crore or not, the film has already solidified its place as one of the biggest success stories of 2025.
