In a year where even the most lavish, star-heavy spectacles have faltered after a brief blaze of glory, Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara has quietly become one of the defining triumphs of 2025. Featuring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, the film has not only held its ground but soared to an extraordinary Rs 329 crore within 45 days. Even in its seventh weekend, it continued to add to its tally, collecting Rs 40 lakh, a testament to its enduring appeal.
Released on 18 July, Saiyaara enjoyed an enviable opening week, but its real strength was tested in the weeks that followed. From Ashwin Kumar’s mythological Mahavtar Narsimha to Ajay Devgn’s Son of Sardaar 2, from Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri’s Dhadak 2 to the titanic clash of Rajinikanth’s Coolie with Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR’s War 2, the film faced formidable competition every weekend. Yet it continued to hold firmly, delivering steady returns across weekdays and weekends, defying the volatility that defines today’s box office.
Perhaps most remarkable has been its resilience long after the opening buzz faded. Where most films collapse by the third week, Saiyaara displayed remarkable stamina. Even in its sixth week, it earned Rs 2.89 crore, barely dipping from the previous week’s Rs 2.95 crore. With momentum intact, it is poised to cross Rs 330 crore before concluding its theatrical run and transitioning to digital platforms. **This news was published on Times of India on 1st September, 2025.
The secret lies in Mohit Suri’s signature style: soulful music interwoven with heartfelt romance. The soundtrack quickly became a cultural phenomenon, pulling young audiences and couples to cinemas, while the lead pair’s performances won widespread acclaim. For Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, this success marks an auspicious debut; for Suri, it is a career-defining milestone. For Bollywood, Saiyaara is a reminder that fresh faces and authentic storytelling can still outshine spectacle, proving that emotion, when rendered with sincerity, holds timeless power.
