Saiyaara, starring Ahan Pandey and Anit Padda, is redefining the fortunes of Bollywood’s romantic dramas. While action, comedy, and horror-comedies have dominated recent years, Saiyaara’s success story proves a powerful love story still has massive audience appeal.
Box Office Streak and Global Earnings
In just 19 days, Saiyaara earned ₹2.50 crore on day 19, taking its India total to an impressive ₹304.60 crore. The film’s momentum hasn’t stalled—it reportedly earned more on its third Tuesday than Monday, highlighting strong word-of-mouth and steady demand. Its appeal isn’t limited to India; Saiyaara has grossed over ₹500 crore internationally, making its combined worldwide collection exceed ₹800 crore in less than three weeks.
Outperforming Salman Khan’s Classics
Saiyaara’s box office performance has now overtaken five major blockbusters of Salman Khan: Tiger 3, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Bharat, Ek Tha Tiger, and Kick. With this, only three Salman hits—most notably Bajrangi Bhaijaan—remain ahead in lifetime collections. Bajrangi Bhaijaan leads with over ₹900 crore worldwide.
What Lies Ahead for Saiyaara
Given its continued strong performance even on weekdays, Saiyaara is expected to maintain high collections. Industry experts suggest that if the screenings are extended and the momentum continues, Saiyaara may even touch or surpass the ₹600 crore mark worldwide in the coming weeks. It currently stands as the second highest-grossing Indian film of 2025.
