Bollywood’s latest romantic drama Saiyaara has taken the country by storm. Directed by Mohit Suri, the film has turned lead actors Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda into overnight stars. Saiyaara has captivated audiences with its superb soundtrack and impressive trailer.
The movie is doing the unthinkable at the box office with a remarkable long run. The movie has crossed the Rs. 300 crore nett mark at the Indian box office. Saiyaara is already Bollywood’s highest-grossing film of the year in international markets, collecting over $15 million.
Now, Saiyaara is on track to surpass the lifetime numbers of Chhaava in North America. So far, the romantic entertainer has earned $5.1 million in the region. Chhaava made $6.4 million in North America, and Saiyaara has every chance to become the top Hindi grosser of 2025 here as well.
Mohanlal’s much-hyped sequel Empuraan is currently the biggest Indian grosser of 2025 in international markets, with a collection of $16.95 million. Now, Saiyaara is challenging this record too, though it may be short-lived, with Coolie and War 2 set for release next week. Saiyaara’s week-on-week trending in overseas markets is even taking trade pundits by surprise. Globally, the film has grossed a mind-blowing Rs. 500 crore.
