Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara, starring fresh faces Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has shattered expectations—crossing ₹150 cr in just six days. In response to skyrocketing demand, screenings have surged from an initial 800 to over 2,000 screens nationwide, now offering more than 11,000 shows daily.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh highlighted that this controlled rollout mirrors past blockbusters like Maine Pyaar Kiya and Hum Aapke Hain Koun, where word-of-mouth fueled expansion post-release.
Despite a modest initial release compared to big-budget films such as Sikandar and Housefull 5, Saiyaara’s explosive growth has outperformed both, thanks to favorable reviews, music, and audience connect.
