Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara, a romantic musical featuring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, continues to shatter box office records with its phenomenal performance in India and abroad. In just 18 days since its release, the film has amassed over ₹500 crore globally, making it one of the biggest Hindi hits of 2025 and poised to become the 14th highest-grossing film in Hindi cinema history.
Produced by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara narrates the poignant love story between Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday), a passionate musician seeking his big break, and Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda), a shy journalist battling personal challenges. The film’s soulful music, heartfelt performances, and Mohit Suri’s direction have struck a chord with audiences, elevating it beyond typical romantic dramas.
According to official figures, Saiyaara has earned around ₹308 crore net domestically and ₹131 crore from overseas markets, totaling approximately ₹507 crore worldwide. This places the film comfortably ahead of blockbuster releases like Hrithik Roshan’s War and Shah Rukh Khan’s Dunki in lifetime collections.
Industry experts attribute Saiyaara’s success to its fresh talent, compelling storytelling, and the growing acceptance of music-driven romantic films among Indian audiences. It also marks a significant milestone for debutant actors making a splash at the box office in a market often dominated by established stars.
The film has sustained strong earnings in its third week, continuing to draw crowds despite competition from new releases. With positive critical reception and audience word of mouth, Saiyaara is set to further extend its box office run and solidify its legacy as a defining love story of its time.
Director Mohit Suri and producer Akshaye Widhani of Yash Raj Films have expressed deep gratitude to the audience for embracing the film so warmly, and industry insiders predict Saiyaara may continue to break new ground for Hindi romance cinema in the near future.
