With an impressive collection on day 17, Ahaan Panday and Aneed Padda’s ‘Saiyaara’ came very close to touching and even crossing the dream number of Rs. 300 crore. However, despite the strong momentum, it missed the milestone by a whisker. Nevertheless, according to early estimates shared by Sacnilk, the movie made a business of Rs. 299.75 crore by the end of its third weekend. ‘Saiyaara’ was able to achieve this number amid the strong competition it faced with the new Bollywood and regional releases. On the one hand, there is Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur’s ‘Son of Sardaar 2’ and Siddhant Chaturvedi-Triptii Dimri starrer ‘Dhadak 2’. On the other hand, there is Vijay Deverakonda’s film ‘Kingdom’ and the much-loved animated movie ‘Mahavtar Narsimha.’ Each one of these movies is trying its best to enjoy its reign at the box office, and in between all this, Mohit Suri’s romantic musical drama continues to shine.
