The romantic drama has already outperformed recent releases such as Kesari 2 and Metro In Dino, and even surpassed the lifetime domestic collection of Karan Johar’s 2023 hit Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani (₹153.55 crore). For lead actor Ahaan Panday, this record-breaking debut puts him in the league of the most successful newcomers since Hrithik Roshan’s Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai.On Thursday, director Mohit Suri took to social media platform X to express his appreciation for filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga, writing:“Sandeep, @imvangasandeep thank you for being the first one to openly support and express your generous belief in Saiyaara. It meant the world coming from a filmmaker whose craft I deeply admire. I’ve always respected the raw emotion, fearlessness and intensity you bring to your stories. It reminds me why we do what we do — to move people, to connect. Grateful to walk this path alongside storytellers like you. Here’s to more powerful cinema and always a fan!”Backed by Yash Raj Films (YRF), Saiyaara is proving that compelling storytelling, authentic emotion, and strategic promotion can still triumph at the box office, even without established stars or franchise backing.
