After weeks of impressive box office momentum, Saiyaara shows no signs of slowing down. The Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer has scored a robust Rs. 20.25 crore in its third weekend, firmly cementing its place as a commercial success. This performance has propelled Saiyaara to the No. 2 spot among the highest third weekend grossers of 2025, just behind the historical juggernaut Chhaava.
The third weekend haul, broken down across the three days, saw the film collect Rs. 5 crore on Friday, a solid Rs. 7 crore on Saturday, and an even stronger Rs. 8.25 crore on Sunday. These numbers not only signal strong word-of-mouth but also underline the film’s wide appeal across demographics. What’s more impressive is that Saiyaara is holding its own against releases with bigger star casts and higher production budgets.
Leading the 2025 third weekend chart is Chhaava, the period epic which amassed a staggering Rs. 60.10 crore in its third weekend. While Saiyaara trails behind by a considerable margin, it has convincingly outperformed other major releases of the year. Raid 2, despite its franchise pull, could only bring in Rs. 13.45 crore, while Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par followed closely at Rs. 12.31 crore. Comedy franchise Housefull 5 stood at a distant fifth with Rs. 7 crore.
Further down the list are Kesari Chapter 2 (Rs. 6.10 crore), Metro… In Dino (Rs. 5 crore), Jaat (Rs. 4.79 crore), Sky Force (Rs. 4.05 crore) and Bhool Chuk Maaf (Rs. 2.80 crore), none of which have been able to match Saiyaara’s consistency in drawing weekend footfalls.
The success of Saiyaara is particularly significant for lead actor Ahaan Panday, who has transitioned from debutant buzz to breakout star with this film. Likewise, Aneet Padda has won over audiences with her nuanced performance, and the film’s layered love story, rooted in emotion and realism, seems to be striking the right chord.
With solid hold at the box office and increasing popularity among youth and families alike, Saiyaara is fast becoming a defining hit of the year. As it enters its fourth week, the real test will be how well it continues to sustain amidst new releases. But for now, Saiyaara has done what very few love stories in recent years have managed — turn a relatively modest opening into a long-lasting box office winner.
