Saiyaara’s Box Office Triumph
On August 7, Mohit Suri’s film “Saiyaara” continued its impressive box office journey, earning Rs 1.85 crore. This brings its total domestic earnings to Rs 308.45 crore, according to Sacnilk. Despite a dip in daily collections, the film remains significantly ahead of its competitors, “Dhadak 2” and “Son Of Sardaar 2,” which earned Rs 1 crore and Rs 1.40 crore respectively on the same day. Both films were released on August 1, two weeks after “Saiyaara,” yet they have not matched its success.
Global Success and Records
“Saiyaara” has not only made waves domestically but also internationally, surpassing the Rs 500 crore mark at the global box office. It has become the second-highest grossing film of the year, trailing only behind Vicky Kaushal’s “Chhaava.” The film also set a record for one of the highest-grossing opening weekends this year.
Week-by-Week Earnings
In its first week, “Saiyaara” collected Rs 172.75 crore, followed by Rs 107.75 crore in its second week. As it enters its third week, the film has amassed approximately Rs 25 crore, maintaining a strong presence in theaters.
The Story Behind Saiyaara
Produced by Yash Raj Films, “Saiyaara” explores themes of love and loss through the story of Krish Kapoor, played by debutant Ahaan Pandey, a struggling musician. He is joined by Aneet Padda as Vaani Batra, a young writer facing early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. The film’s poignant narrative has resonated with audiences, contributing to its box office success.
Future Prospects
Despite a slight decline in earnings this week, “Saiyaara” continues to perform well at the box office and is expected to maintain its momentum until the release of “War 2.” Its ongoing success highlights its appeal and strong audience connection.
