- Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's debut film is now one of the top five highest-grossing films of the year. The list includes names like Vicky Kaushal's historical saga Chhaava (Rs 601 crore), Akshay Kumar's franchise hit Housefull 5 (Rs 183 crore), Ajay Devgn's formula hit Raid 2 (Rs 173 crore), and Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par (Rs 163 crore) which is touted as the spiritual sequel to the 2007 film Taare Zameen Par.
Taran Adarsh's Verdict
Trade experts said that Saiyaara has been rewriting box office rules as the Hindi film industry is going through a dull phase with most of the films falling flat.
Saiyaara created a buzz due to its emotional storyline, intense love story and powerful performances by the two debutants.
An excerpt from Taran Adarsh's recent X post read, "HISTORIC, ONCE AGAIN... 'SAIYAARA' CONTINUES TO REWRITE RECORD BOOKS... #Saiyaara goes on a rampage on Monday - a working day - yet shows no signs of slowing down... Monday's numbers are HIGHER than Friday's - an incredible feat.
"Not just the biggest opener - not just the biggest weekend - #Saiyaara is now also the biggest Monday grosser for a film *starring newcomers*.
"But that's not all - #Saiyaara's *Monday numbers* are higher than those of #Housefull5 [#AkshayKumar], #Raid2 [#AjayDevgn], and #SitaareZameenPar [#AamirKhan].
"Wait, #Saiyaara has scored even higher than #Chhaava [#VickyKaushal] on Monday - the highest-grossing film of 2025."
Taran Adarsh predicted the Tuesday numbers would be higher as the film opted for discounted ticket prices.
