Saiyaara Opens Big at the Worldwide Box Office
Saiyaara Box Office Day 1. Mohit Suri’s much-anticipated romantic musical drama Saiyaara has taken the global box office by storm on its opening day. Released worldwide on July 18, 2025, the film marks Suri’s first collaboration with Yash Raj Films (YRF) and has created massive buzz for its soulful music and fresh pairing of Ahaan and Aneet.
According to trade reports, Saiyaara earned ₹27.75 crore globally on Day 1 (Friday), with a significant contribution coming from international markets. The film raked in ₹3 crore overseas, making it one of the top overseas openers of the year.
Saiyaara Secures 5th Highest Overseas Opening of 2025
With its ₹3 crore overseas debut, Saiyaara now holds the fifth spot among 2025’s biggest overseas openings. Here’s how the top five stack up:
1. Housefull 5 – ₹11 crore
2. Sikandar – ₹10 crore
3. Chhaava – ₹10 crore
4. Deva (Shahid Kapoor) – ₹3.5 crore
5. Saiyaara – ₹3 crore
This impressive start proves that the film has resonated with audiences beyond India, especially due to its music and emotional storyline.
Ahaan and Aneet Win Hearts With Their Performances
Debutant Ahaan and co-star Aneet have been praised for their on-screen chemistry and heartfelt performances. Fans and critics alike are calling Saiyaara a perfect blend of romance and music, reminiscent of Mohit Suri’s earlier hits like Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villain.
Speaking about frequent comparisons to his past work, Suri told Firstpost, “When I made Zeher, they said it looked like Murder. When I made Ek Villain, they said it looked like Murder 2. When I made Aashiqui 2, they said it looked like Woh Lamhe or Rockstar. So, if they’re comparing Saiyaara to my own work, I take it as a compliment.”
What’s Next for Saiyaara?
With such a promising start, trade analysts expect Saiyaara to maintain strong momentum over the weekend. If the positive word-of-mouth continues, the film could become one of Mohit Suri’s highest-grossing films to date.
