‘Saiyaara’ has come as a huge surprise at the box office as the film is expected to emerge as one of the biggest opening films of 2025. This year, during the first six months, we saw movies like ‘Chhaava’ and ‘Raid 2’ opening well at the box office. Even Salman Khan’s ‘Sikandar’ had a good opening number on day 1 but of course, it eventually started seeing a drop. ‘Saiyaara’ is expected to churn out a double digit number on day 1 which will be huge for a film with debutants. Till Friday afternoon, the movie has already made Rs 6.27 crore at the box office, according to Sacnilk, which is a better trend than many big movies. The word of mouth for the film, Mohit Suri’s direction and the acting prowess of debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda is great. Thus, by the end of day 1, when the night shows numbers come in, the movie is expected to end up with a double digit number for sure. Moreover, with positive word of mouth, the numbers can be expected to grow over the weekend. Infact, according to Box Office India, ‘Saiyaara’ has taken the biggest opening in many regions. The only exceptions are the areas in the Maharashtra belt like Mumbai, CP, and Nizam, where Chhaava still holds a stronger start. But in the rest of the country, Saiyaara has outperformed all other major releases of the year, including Chhaava, Sikandar, and Housefull 5.See more: ‘Saiyaara’ Movie Review and Release Live Updates The film features a superhit song and is a full-on love story with strong youth appeal — something we haven’t seen in a while, as most recent releases stick to safer rom-coms that rarely break big. What’s even more surprising is the incredible response right from the morning shows, which is rare these days. Usually, even the biggest films pick up as the day goes on, but this one started strong with packed theatres, especially driven by the youth and college crowd. So, unlike others, this film isn’t about building momentum — it’s already there from the first show.
