Ahaan Panday Aneet Padda Saiyaara Movies Smash Records
The film's success has been a surprise to many, given its limited release and lack of big stars, but its unique storyline and the chemistry between the lead actors have made it a hit with audiences, both in India and abroad, with a worldwide collection of Rs 404 crore and counting.
Indian film 'Saiyaara' has defied expectations to become the second highest-grossing Indian film of the year, with a total worldwide gross of $46.8 million in under two weeks, featuring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda.
The musical romance, directed by Mohit Suri, had little promotion, a limited release, and no big stars, but has grossed more than major titles like Raid 2, Sitaare Zameen Par, and Housefull 5. The film's success can be attributed to its unique storyline and the chemistry between the lead actors, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda.
The film has become the second highest-grossing Hindi film of 2025, surpassing several major titles, and has also become the ninth highest-grossing film in the US, with a two-week cume of $3.24 million via Yash Raj Films USA. In India, the film has grossed an estimated Rs 266 crore within 12 days and is poised to surpass Rs 300 crore, potentially becoming the second Hindi film of 2025 to achieve this milestone.
The film's overall domestic net collection now stands at Rs 266 crore, with a worldwide collection of Rs 404 crore, making it the highest-grossing love story in Indian cinema history and the second-highest-grossing Bollywood film of the year. The success of 'Saiyaara' is a testament to the power of good storytelling and the ability of newcomers to make a mark in the Indian film industry.
