Hit or just hyped?
The film’s budget is Rs 60 crore, and in just three days, it’s recovered that entirely. But is it a hit yet?
Well, not quite. In industry terms, a film is declared a “hit” only when it earns double its budget. That means Saiyaara needs to touch Rs 120 crore to be officially in the hit club. However, looking at the momentum, it may not be far off.
From debutante to box office phenomenon, Ahaan Panday’s Saiyaara is riding high. With glowing reviews and mass appeal, all eyes are now on how far it’ll go in Week 2.
