Globally, Saiyaara has grossed over ₹400 crore, with overseas collections reaching approximately ₹94 crore (around $10.50 million) by Day 12. The film has performed exceptionally well in markets like the UK, where it crossed the £1 million mark, and the Gulf region, where it is nearing $4 million. Its worldwide gross is projected to approach ₹450 crore by the end of its second week, positioning it to potentially surpass the lifetime gross of Kabir Singh (₹377 crore) and become the highest-grossing Indian romantic film of all time.
The film’s success is attributed to its emotionally resonant storytelling, soulful soundtrack, and the fresh chemistry between Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. Industry experts note that Saiyaara has outperformed major releases like Salman Khan’s Sikandar and Ranbir Kapoor’s Ramayana in key markets, with its second Saturday collection of ₹26.5 crore surpassing its first Saturday (₹26 crore), a rare feat.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh commented on X, “#Saiyaara stays super-steady on its second Monday, following a record-smashing Weekend 2… The drop on Day 11 vis-à-vis Friday is just 48.65%, reflecting the film’s rock-solid hold.” The film’s momentum is expected to carry it past the ₹300 crore net mark in India by the end of its second week, despite upcoming competition from Son of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2 on August 1.
Saiyaara, loosely inspired by the 2004 Korean film A Moment to Remember, follows the love story of a young musician (Panday) and a thoughtful writer (Padda), exploring themes of love, heartbreak, and emotional healing. Its universal appeal, coupled with Mohit Suri’s signature storytelling, has made it a cultural phenomenon, with fans on social media sharing emotional tributes and dance videos inspired by its music.
