This performance easily crowns it as the most profitable Indian film of 2025 so far, outpacing big star vehicles and even other love stories of the last two decades.
- Previous records: Before Saiyaara, films like Aashiqui 2 boasted high ROI, but Saiyaara’s rapid climb to 500% in less than two weeks is unprecedented.
- Worldwide impact: The film has also performed brilliantly overseas, grossing around $10.8 million internationally and establishing itself as 2025’s biggest Hindi hit beyond India as well.
Surpassing All Expectations & Creating New Benchmarks
Saiyaara has already overtaken the lifetime domestic box office of previous romantic blockbusters like Kabir Singh and Brahmastra, and is now on track to enter the all-time Top 20 earners for Indian cinema. It’s the highest-grossing romantic film in Indian history, and now the second-highest in 2025 behind only Chhaava.
Why Did Saiyaara Succeed?
- Fresh Lead Pair: Ahaan Panday & Aneet Padda’s chemistry and performances received rave reviews.
- Music & Storytelling: Mohit Suri’s trademark emotional storytelling and a hit soundtrack connected with both youth and families.
- Positive Word of Mouth: Audience enthusiasm, combined with a strategic release and competitive ticket pricing, kept occupancy strong well into the second week.
- Pan-India Appeal: Released across 3,650+ screens and with strong overseas market presence, Saiyaara is a true national and international success.
Saiyaara’s dream run is a reminder that strong content, effective promotion, and audience connection can deliver historic box office success—even for debut actors. Film trade expects the revenue race to continue in the coming days, with the 600% ROI milestone within reach!
