In today’s unpredictable box office climate, where even star-studded spectacles struggle to sustain after a few weeks, Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara has emerged as one of the biggest success stories of 2025. Starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and ANEET PADDA, the film is not only timely but also has an impressive Rs 329 crore crore collection, which is again. Word of mouth and emotional connection can trump raw star power. The film added Rs 40 lakh to its collection in its seventh weekend. The film, which released on July 18, had a great run in its first week, starting from the second week onwards, the film had to face new releases, be it Ashwin Kumar’s mythological drama Mahavtar Narsimha or Ajay Devgn’s Son Sardaar 2 and Siddhant ChatthateDi and Triptii Dimri’ and Jr NTR’s War 2. However, the film surprised everyone by consistently delivering on weekdays and weekends, showing remarkable resilience even when faced with mammoth releases. More impressive is the film’s stamina after its initial weeks. While most films crash after the third week, Saiyaara continued to bring in steady numbers. Even in its sixth week, it collected Rs 2.89 crore, which was a minimal drop from its fifth week collection of Rs 2.95 crore. The film looks primed to cross Rs 330 crore before it folds its theatrical run and hits the OTT platform. Industry insiders attribute this success to Mohit Suri’s signature storytelling, blending soulful music with heartfelt romance. The film’s songs became instant chartbusters, bringing younger audiences and couples to the theatres. Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s performances have been widely praised, with many critics calling them one of the most promising newcomers in recent times. For Mohit Suri, who has always thrived on music-driven love stories, this film is a career-defining triumph. It’s a reminder for Bollywood that fresh faces and compelling storytelling can still triumph over spectacle-driven cinema. As it enters its seventh week, the film’s collections are slowing down, but its legacy is secure.
