The much-anticipated film ‘Saiyaara,’ featuring the fresh pairing of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has made a resounding impact at the box office, signaling its potential to emerge as one of the biggest opening films of 2025. The romantic drama has captivated audiences from its very first show, translating into impressive early collection figures.
By Friday afternoon, Day 1 of its release, ‘Saiyaara’ had already amassed a remarkable ₹6.27 crore. Industry analysts are now keenly watching, with strong predictions suggesting the film is well on track to achieve a significant double-digit collection by the close of its opening day, once the crucial night show figures are tabulated.
The film’s immediate success can be attributed to a confluence of factors. Positive word-of-mouth has played a pivotal role, creating a buzz that has drawn crowds to cinemas. Celebrated director Mohit Suri’s vision and execution are also being lauded, as his signature style appears to have resonated deeply with the audience. Furthermore, the film’s inherent youth appeal, coupled with a full-on love story narrative, has evidently struck a chord with the younger demographic, leading to consistently packed morning shows across the country.
‘Saiyaara’ has demonstrated exceptional performance, reportedly outshining several other major releases of the year in numerous regions. While the Maharashtra belt saw a slightly stronger initial performance from ‘Chhaava,’ ‘Saiyaara’ has largely dominated the box office landscape elsewhere. The film’s chart-topping songs, particularly its superhit title track, have also been instrumental in building anticipation and drawing audiences in right from the earliest screenings.
As ‘Saiyaara’ continues its theatrical run, all eyes are on its sustained performance, with industry experts anticipating a strong trajectory for the Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer. The film’s powerful opening suggests it could indeed be a significant milestone for Bollywood in 2025.
