After a lot of anticipation, Mohit Suri’s film Saiyaara has finally hit the big screens today (July 18). The movie launched two new faces, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. The two debutants have created history by minting revenue in double digits. They have set an example for people in the industry. According to Sacnilk, Saiyaara’s box office day 1 collection was Rs 20 crore.
As per reports, Saiyaara collected Rs 19.6 crore on its first day of release. This is an impressive number for a romantic film featuring newcomers, especially when compared to the opening day collections of this year’s releases led by major stars.
Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s film witnessed an overall 44.33% Hindi occupancy on Friday. With this, the movie has recorded the highest opening day collection by a Hindi film with debutants as leads.
The record was earlier held by Dhadak, which introduced Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter in 2018 and earned Rs 8.76 crore net in India on its opening day.
Many directors and producers have also praised Saiyaara. One among them is Madhur Bhandarkar when he took to X and wrote “Saiyaara has shattered every myth about launching newcomers. No big names, no bug PR just raw talent and fearless storytelling. In an industry obsessed with stars, Saiyaara proved that audiences are ready for the unpredictable. A bold reminder. It’s not about who you know. It’s about what you bring. Exciting times for Hindi cinema.”
Saiyaara is helmed by Mohit Suri and produced by YRF CEO Akshaye Widhani. Even before the film’s release, Saiyaara’s songs had already been making headlines.
