The newly released Bollywood film Saiyaara has taken the box office by storm, collecting over ₹100 crore in just four days. Directed by Mohit Suri, this romantic drama marks the debut of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, both of whom have received a warm welcome from the audience. Released on Friday, July 18, Saiyaara has quickly become one of the fastest films of 2025 to enter the 100 crore club, impressing trade analysts and movie lovers alike.
The film’s strong collections over the weekend and its impressive performance on Monday have confirmed its blockbuster status. While many films see a drop in earnings after the first weekend, Saiyaara has managed to hold its ground, proving that it has passed the “First Monday Test” with flying colours.
The craze surrounding Saiyaara was evident from its opening day when it collected ₹21.5 crore on Friday. On Saturday, the film saw a significant jump, earning ₹26 crore. The real highlight came on Sunday, which is often the biggest day for box office collections, with the film making an impressive ₹35.75 crore.
Monday, which is generally considered a testing day for new releases, turned out to be another big success for the film. Saiyaara collected ₹22.5 crore on its fourth day, bringing its total net collection to ₹105.75 crore. Crossing the 100 crore mark on its first Monday is a major achievement, as very few films manage to maintain double-digit collections on weekdays.

With this performance, Saiyaara has secured the 19th spot on the list of films with the highest Monday collections in Bollywood history. The movie’s success has also strengthened the reputation of Yash Raj Films (YRF), the production banner behind this project. YRF, known for producing blockbuster hits, has once again proven its ability to launch fresh faces and create successful films.
In just four days, Saiyaara has outperformed several major Bollywood releases of 2025. The film has surpassed the collections of Akshay Kumar’s Sky Force, Ajay Devgn’s Raid 2, and Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par. Among this year’s releases, only Vicky Kaushal’s Chhaava has earned ₹100 crore faster than Saiyaara, making it the second-fastest film of 2025 to reach this milestone. The film is now competing closely with Housefull 5 in terms of early box office performance.
With this record, Saiyaara has joined an elite list of Bollywood films that crossed ₹100 crore within just four days of release. So far, only 11 films have achieved this feat, including War, Bharat, Fighter, PK, Padmaavat, Kalki 2898 AD, Dunki, Golmaal Again, Krrish 3, Raees, and Housefull 5. Saiyaara is now the 12th film to enter this prestigious list, marking a major accomplishment for debutant actor Ahaan Panday.
The success of Saiyaara has also brought the spotlight on its lead stars, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. Making their debut with a big-banner film is a huge opportunity, and both actors have received praise for their performances and on-screen chemistry. Ahaan, who comes from a family with Bollywood connections, has managed to create his own identity through this film. Meanwhile, Aneet Padda, relatively new to Indian cinema, has made a strong impression with her role.
Director Mohit Suri, known for delivering musical hits like Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villain, has once again succeeded in creating a love story that connects with the audience. The film’s soundtrack, which includes soulful romantic tracks, has also played a key role in attracting audiences to theatres. Social media buzz and positive word-of-mouth have further boosted the film’s box office numbers.
With a strong opening and consistent weekday performance, trade experts believe that Saiyaara is likely to continue its winning streak in the coming weeks. If the film maintains steady collections, it may enter the 200 crore club within its second week. The absence of any major releases in the upcoming weekend also works in its favor, giving it a clear run at the box office.
The film’s early success has set high expectations for its lifetime collection. If it continues on the same track, Saiyaara could easily become one of the highest-grossing films of 2025. It is also expected to perform well in international markets, where Bollywood romantic dramas often find a loyal audience.
The journey of Saiyaara has been nothing short of remarkable. From a strong start on Friday to crossing ₹100 crore by Monday, the film has proven its box office power. With Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda making a dream debut under the Yash Raj Films banner, the film is being hailed as a fresh success story in Bollywood.
As Saiyaara continues to attract audiences, all eyes are now on how high it will climb on the box office charts. Given its current momentum and positive audience response, the film seems well on its way to breaking several records in the coming days.
