Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s debut film is winning hearts—and raking in serious cash.
Mohit Suri’s comeback is making waves at the box office, and it’s all thanks to his latest romantic saga, Saiyaara. The film, led by newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, collected a staggering ₹83 crore in just three days—making it the 9th highest-grossing Hindi film of 2025 so far.
For a film with fresh faces, that’s not just impressive—it’s historic.
Weekend numbers that speak for themselves
Saiyaara opened with ₹21 crore on Friday, followed by a solid 19% bump to ₹25 crore on Saturday. But Sunday? That’s when things really exploded—₹37 crore (early estimates), according to Sacnilk.
Clearly, the film has struck a chord with audiences. Between the soulful music, nostalgic romantic vibes, and emotional depth that screams “classic Mohit Suri,” people are flocking to theatres—and telling their friends to do the same.
Music, chemistry & magic
Let’s be real: it’s been a while since a love story made you feel something in Bollywood. But Saiyaara brings back that old-school magic—with a modern twist. Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda might be new to the big screen, but their chemistry? It’s undeniable.
Add in a soundtrack that’s already climbing music charts, and you’ve got a film that delivers more than just pretty visuals.

Climbing the box office ladder
Here’s where it gets interesting.
With its weekend total, Saiyaara has already overtaken Bhool Chuk Maaf (₹72.73 crore). And based on Monday’s early bookings, it’s on track to surpass Kesari 2 (₹92.58 crore) and Jaat (₹88.72 crore) by the end of the day.
By Tuesday, Saiyaara is expected to leap ahead of Sikandar – Ra (₹110.36 crore) and Sky Force (₹113.62 crore), putting it in the top 5 Hindi films of the year. And yes, it’s just getting started.
Could it hit the Top 3?
With Son of Sardaar 2 pushed to August 1, Saiyaara has a free run at the box office for at least another week. That’s a golden opportunity to chase down Sitaare Zameen Par (₹165.49 crore) and even Raid 2 (₹173.44 crore).
The #2 spot is held by Housefull 5 (₹183.38 crore), while the year’s biggest hit so far is Chhava, sitting comfortably at ₹585.7 crore. Can Saiyaara get close? With strong weekday collections and momentum going into week two—don’t count it out.

It proves one thing loud and clear: great storytelling, heartfelt music, and authentic emotions still sell. And when you pair that with smart direction and relatable characters, audiences show up in droves.
Final word
Whether you’re a fan of romantic dramas or just looking for something real and refreshing, Saiyaara is worth the hype. And if the box office numbers are anything to go by, Mohit Suri’s back with a bang—and he’s brought the next-gen stars with him.
