After a thunderous first week where it collected Rs 172.5 crore , Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara has officially become the third highest-grossing film of 2025, edging past Ajay Devgn’s Raid 2 on its 8th day. The romantic action-drama starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda has added Rs 1.46 crore on it’s second Friday till 12 Noon, taking the overall collection to Rs 173.96 crore overtaking Raid 2’s lifetime India net of Rs 173.44 crore.Released last Friday, Saiyaara opened with Rs 21.5 crore and saw a sharp upward trend through its first weekend, peaking on Sunday with Rs 35.75 crore. With a strong Monday hold at Rs 24 crore and a solid Tuesday of Rs 25 crore, the film continued its impressive run even mid-week where it collected Rs 21.5 crore on Wednesday and Rs 18.75 crore on Thursday. With afternoon, evening and night shows yet to be accounted for, the film is to cross Rs 184 crore by the end of Day 8, which would mean surpassing the lifetime total of Housefull 5 (Rs 183.38 crore) — making it the second highest-grossing Hindi film of 2025, behind only Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava which has collected Rs 585.5 crore in Hindi. Last night Saiyaara was on the third spot as it zoomed past Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par’s collection of Rs 164.91 crore. What’s more impressive is that Saiyaara has achieved this milestone with two newcomers in the lead, making it one of the rare Bollywood blockbusters to do so. The film has found resonance among the youth, with its emotional core, chart-topping music, and gripping performances driving repeat viewership across urban and tier-2 centres.It would be interesting to see how far can Saiyaara walk in the days to come as within next week Aditya Chopra is set to release his next big Spy instalment in War 2 with Hrithik Roshan, Jr.NTR and Kiara Advani.
