Bollywood’s latest romantic musical, Saiyaara, has taken the box office by storm! Featuring the fresh pairing of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, the film has surpassed all expectations — and even outshone the beloved 2013 hit Aashiqui 2 in terms of Day 1 collections.
💥 Saiyaara Breaks Records on Opening Day
Directed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara was one of the most anticipated films of 2025 — and it hasn’t disappointed! According to figures released by Sacnilk, the film collected a staggering ₹20 crore on its opening day across Indian theatres.
To put that into perspective:
Aashiqui 2 (2013) – ₹6.10 crore Day 1
Sitaare Zameen Par (2025, Aamir Khan) – ₹10.7 crore Day 1
Sky Force (2025, Akshay Kumar) – ₹12.25 crore Day 1
Saiyaara (2025) – ₹20 crore Day 1 💣
🎬 Saiyaara vs. Dhadak: A Newcomer Benchmark
The film now holds the record for the highest opening day collection for a Hindi film starring newcomers in lead roles. Previously, the record was held by Dhadak (2018), which had collected ₹8.76 crore with Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter.
On Friday, Saiyaara claimed a massive 44.33% audience share of all Hindi films shown that day — a clear sign that viewers are loving this emotionally charged musical love story.
💔 A Story of Music, Love & Memory
🎼 Plot Summary:
Saiyaara tells the heart-touching tale of:
- Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday) – a struggling singer-composer
