Mohit Suri’s musical drama 'Saiyaara', featuring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has officially made its mark in box office history by surpassing the Rs. 400 crore milestone globally.

The romantic musical, produced by Yash Raj Films, has now amassed an impressive Rs. 404 crore worldwide, establishing itself as one of the top-grossing love stories in the annals of Indian cinema.

Saiyaara has seen a slight dip in collections during its second week, following a blockbuster debut.

However, the film remains steady at the domestic box office, amassing a total of Rs 273.50 crore within just 13 days of release.

Box Office Performance

On Wednesday alone, the film earned Rs 7 crore, bringing the total domestic collection to Rs 273.50 crore. Earlier in the week, it raked in Rs 9.25 crore on Monday and Rs 10 crore on Tuesday.

In its first week, Saiyaara recorded an impressive Rs 172.75 crore, establishing itself as the second highest-grossing Hindi film of the year, following Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava.

Globally, Ahaan Panday’s debut venture has surpassed the Rs 400 crore mark. This achievement puts it ahead of Shahid Kapoor’s Kabir Singh (Rs 379 crore) and Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par (Rs 264 crore) in worldwide earnings.

The film has also set a historic benchmark by becoming the highest-grossing Hindi film led by two debutants. Additionally, Saiyaara enjoyed one of the biggest opening weekends of the year.
