Mohit Suri’s romantic drama Saiyaara, featuring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has reached yet another stunning milestone at the global box office. The film, which has been riding a wave of critical acclaim and audience adoration, officially entered the coveted Rs. 300 crore club worldwide — and it did so in a record 9 days, an extraordinary feat for a film headlined by newcomers.
According to latest figures, Saiyaara has collected Rs. 220.75 crore net in India, which translates to a gross of Rs. 267.41 crore. Overseas, the film continues to perform exceptionally well with a gross of Rs. 43.1 crore, bringing its worldwide gross total to Rs. 310.51 crore. These numbers not only underline the film’s phenomenal reach but also reaffirm its status as one of the most surprising commercial successes of 2025.
What makes this achievement particularly remarkable is that Saiyaara accomplished it without the traditional trappings of a mega-budget, star-driven project. With a relatively fresh cast, no extended promotional blitzkrieg, and a genre — youthful romance — that many had deemed commercially uncertain, the film has defied expectations across the board. Its powerful storytelling universally loved music, and Mohit Suri’s emotionally resonant direction have all come together to create a rare box office phenomenon.
Over the course of its theatrical run, Saiyaara has not only smashed records for newcomer-led films but also consistently outperformed films with A-list actors and far larger marketing budgets. The film’s weekday collections have shown near-weekend strength, and it has maintained a steady pace even as bigger titles released around it have struggled to leave a mark.
Its performance overseas — with Rs. 43.1 crore in gross receipts — signals the film’s resonance with the global Indian diaspora and non-Indian audiences alike. The film’s themes of love, ambition, and emotional vulnerability appear to have struck a universal chord, bolstered by a soundtrack that has topped international music charts and gone viral on streaming platforms.
With this Rs. 310.51 crore milestone, Saiyaara now stands among the biggest global earners of the year and marks a career high for Mohit Suri. More importantly, it heralds a new wave of Bollywood storytelling — one that puts emotion and sincerity front and centre, proving once again that heart can sometimes outperform hype. If the current momentum holds, Saiyaara could continue rewriting record books in the days to come, and perhaps even challenge the year’s biggest titles. For now, the message is clear: audiences are embracing stories that speak to them, and Saiyaara has managed to do just that — with soul, scale, and stunning success.
