In an era when Bollywood seemed to have lost its lyrical touch, Saiyaara burst onto the silver screen like a ballad refusing to be ignored. Directed by the ever-emotive Mohit Suri, this romantic musical drama is not merely a movie—it’s a sensory experience. With poetic storytelling, powerhouse performances, and a soundtrack that speaks directly to the soul, Saiyaara has become the biggest surprise hit of 2025, rewriting box office history with every passing day. From its opening scene—a windswept concert stage where Ahaan Panday’s Krish strums heartbreak into the silence—to its final frame where Aneet Padda’s Vaani scribbles faded memories into an abandoned diary, Saiyaara is pure cinematic poetry. It brings together youth and pain, hope and nostalgia, music and emotion, into one unforgettable blend.
Mohit Suri’s Return to Form
Mohit Suri, once known for films like Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villain, returns with a film that feels like a matured version of his romantic obsessions. The screenplay plays with memory, music, and melancholy. Vaani’s diary, containing poems she no longer remembers writing, becomes Krish’s muse—a metaphorical and literal bridge between two souls. Suri’s direction frames every scene with lyrical intent, allowing silence and sound to co-exist meaningfully. It’s storytelling that lingers.
Worldwide Box Office
- ₹188 crore gross in just 5 days Surpassed lifetime earnings of Game Changer, Sikandar, and Good Bad Ugly Expected to cross ₹200 crore by second weekend
Global Footprint
Beyond domestic shores, Saiyaara has become India’s latest export of emotion. In just five days, the worldwide gross touched ₹188 crore. Overseas markets, including UAE, UK, and North America, responded with equal fervor. Screens in London reported sold-out shows for late-night screenings, while fans in Toronto chanted the title track at public gatherings.
Trade analysts now project the film will comfortably cross the ₹200 crore milestone before its second weekend, possibly rivaling even Pathaan and Jawan in longevity.
