In what can only be described as a blockbuster fairy tale for a debutant, Ahaan Panday’s much-talked-about launch vehicle Saiyaara continues to dominate the box office even after 25 days of release. Defying the usual trend where collections slow down significantly after the second week, the romantic action drama is still pulling in impressive numbers, bringing its total domestic earnings to a staggering ₹319 crore.
The film, directed by a celebrated filmmaker and backed by one of Bollywood’s biggest production houses, opened to strong reviews and massive hype, thanks to its high-octane trailers, chartbuster songs, and Ahaan’s fresh screen presence. Over the weeks, positive word-of-mouth and repeat viewings have helped Saiyaara transform from a strong opener into a bona fide box office juggernaut.
Trade analysts note that Saiyaara’s performance is remarkable for a debut actor, placing Ahaan Panday in a league that few newcomers ever reach with their first film. Week one saw record-breaking collections, crossing ₹200 crore in just 12 days, while the second and third weeks maintained steady momentum despite stiff competition from new releases. By day 25, the film is just a hair’s breadth away from touching the ₹320 crore milestone.
Overseas too, the film has created a buzz, especially in markets like the UAE, UK, Australia, and North America, where Indian diaspora audiences have embraced the emotional depth and slick production values. Combined with its international earnings, the worldwide total is on track to cross an even more impressive landmark in the coming days.
Industry insiders attribute the film’s staying power to multiple factors — Ahaan’s charm and acting chops, the sizzling chemistry between the lead pair, and a storyline that blends romance, action, and heartfelt drama. The music album, already dominating streaming charts, has also played a key role in keeping audiences connected to the film long after leaving the theatres.
With Independence Day weekend approaching and limited competition from major releases, Saiyaara is expected to add significantly to its tally. Trade pundits are already predicting that it could comfortably sail past the ₹350 crore mark if its current momentum continues.
For Ahaan Panday, Saiyaara has not just been a debut — it has been a dream launchpad, cementing his arrival in Bollywood as a star to watch. If the box office numbers are any indication, this is just the beginning of what could be a very bright career.
