Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, is showing no signs of slowing down at the box office. After a strong opening and an impressive first week run, the Ahaan Panday–Aneet Padda starrer has now achieved another major milestone. With a stellar second weekend haul of Rs. 75.50 crore, Saiyaara has officially surpassed Aamir Khan’s Dangal (Rs. 73.70 crore) to become the 8th highest second weekend grosser of all time.
The journey of Saiyaara began with a promising start, thanks to its youthful appeal, soaring music, and a romantic narrative that struck a chord with audiences across the board. Its opening weekend brought in significant numbers, propelled by strong word-of-mouth, glowing audience reviews, and overwhelming repeat viewership from younger demographics, especially in metros and Tier-2 cities.
But what truly sets Saiyaara apart is its hold through the weekdays and the momentum it carried into its second weekend. Where many films see steep drops after the initial hype, Saiyaara bucked the trend, maintaining stable collections and even showing growth in key circuits. As it entered its second Friday, the bookings remained robust — an indicator of both sustained audience interest and the film’s emotional connect.
Now with its second weekend earnings clocking Rs. 75.50 crore, Saiyaara finds itself in elite company on the all-time highest second weekend grossers chart. It now ranks just below Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion (Rs. 80.75 cr) and above Dangal (Rs. 73.70 cr), edging past the latter in a feat that few industry insiders would have predicted ahead of release.
This achievement marks a major moment not just for Mohit Suri but also for its lead cast — debutant Ahaan Panday and rising star Aneet Padda — both of whom have been lauded for their nuanced performances. Saiyaara’s heartfelt story, elevated by a chart-topping soundtrack, has clearly tapped into the audience’s craving for authentic romance-driven narratives. Moreover, Saiyaara’s success reiterates that a well-made love story with fresh faces can still command strong theatrical traction, even in a marketplace saturated with franchise fare and action-heavy blockbusters.
With this latest milestone, Saiyaara continues to rewrite expectations and cement its place as one of 2025’s most significant box office stories. As it heads into its third week, all eyes are now on how much further the film can climb — both in terms of numbers and legacy.
