Originally released in July last year, the musical romance emerged as one of the biggest successes of 2025.
Starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, the film went on to gross Rs 577 crore worldwide.
It became the second-highest-grossing Indian film of the year and the highest-grossing romantic film in Indian cinema history.
The film also marked a significant turning point for its lead actors. Saiyaara introduced Ahaan Panday to Bollywood, while Aneet Padda, who previously appeared in Kajol's Salaam Venky, stepped into her first leading role with the project.
