Saiyaara Beats Aashiqui 2, Taare Zameen Par, and More
‘Saiyaara’ has achieved what many established stars failed to accomplish this year. The film's opening day collection has created history by surpassing several notable releases. Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor's ‘Aashiqui 2’ collected ₹6.10 crore on its opening day in 2013. ‘Saiyaara’ comfortably crossed this milestone, demonstrating the power of fresh content and strong storytelling.
The debut film also outperformed recent 2025 releases. Aamir Khan's ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ managed ₹10.7 crore on its first day, while Akshay Kumar's ‘Sky Force’ earned ₹12.25 crore during its holiday weekend release.
In comparison, ‘Saiyaara’ made a stronger impact than even Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter’s Dhadak, which had opened with ₹8.76 crore.

With no established names and minimal pre-release hype, ‘Saiyaara’ surprised trade experts and audiences alike. The film recorded 44.33% Hindi occupancy on Friday, a strong figure for a non-franchise, non-action debut.
Industry watchers had predicted earnings around ₹15-17 crore for Saturday, with expectations of crossing ₹35 crore by the weekend. However, actual collections fell short of these projections.

In a year marked by superstar disappointments and formula fatigue, ‘Saiyaara’ proves that audiences still respond to compelling storytelling. The film's success sends a clear message to the industry about the importance of content over star power.
