Mumbai, July 21 - Yash Raj Films' romantic drama Saiyaara is breaching the 100 crores net mark sooner than expected after phenomenal hold on its first working day, Monday. The Mohit Suri directorial starring debutante Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda is looking unstoppable after the historic first weekend. ## Saiyaara stays strong on first Monday ## After the front-loaded first weekend, there were doubts that Saiyaara might see a drop, but that is not the case here.

The film is looking to be around 103+ crores net at the end of the day.

In India, the movie benefited from strong word-of-mouth, youthful appeal, and a robust turnout across multiplex and smaller centres. It also did well internationally, grossing around 15 crores in the opening weekend. ## The chemistry between the lead pair, a soulful soundtrack, and Mohit Suri's trademark emotional storytelling appears to have struck a chord with audiences, particularly the younger demographic. With positive audience reception and minimal competition at the box office, Saiyaara is poised for a strong run in the coming weeks. All eyes are now on how far this debut-driven romantic drama can go. Can it hit the 300 crore mark in the long run? The coming days will tell. ## About Saiyaara ## The film stars Ahaan Panday as Krish Kapoor, a rising musician whose raw talent and ambition set him on a collision course with the realities of the modern music industry. When Krish is introduced to Vaani (Aneet Padda), a gifted and principled songwriter, sparks fly – both creatively and personally. As their partnership deepens, so does their connection, blossoming into a romance that is as passionate as it is complicated. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Ahaan Pandey, Aneet Padda's 'Saiyaara' First Sunday (Day 3) Early Estimates

Mumbai, July 20 - Yash Raj Films' Saiyaara goes on the overdrive on Sunday and once again surpassed expectations despite the overloaded first two days at the domestic box office. The film is clocking an average occupancy of over 70% with some areas even showing near 100% today. ## There was a capacity issue in the first two days, as the movie had a smaller release as compared to some of the top stars' movies this year, but that couldn't stop it from scoring another +40% jump on Sunday as it comfortably breached 30 crores net mark today. ## According to early estimates, the third-day collection of the movie is expected to be in the range of 35-37 crores net, with the opening weekend finishing at 81+ crores net. This is the biggest first weekend ever for an Indian romantic film, and with the debutante, the weekend is nothing short of sensational. ## There has been a huge demand for the tickets during the first weekend, where a capacity issue arose despite more and more shows getting added. The advances for Monday look super solid, and if the spot booking response is equally solid, then the movie may breach the 15 crores mark on the first working day. However, it is better to wait how things proceed. ## Apart from the holdovers, there is not much challenge for Saiyaara till the end of this month. The trend so far has been super encouraging with youth, masses and family audience coming to theatres, and this ensured that the film will have a strong run during the weekdays. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: Ahaan Pandey, Aneet Padda's 'Saiyaara' Second Day (Day 2) Early Estimates

Mumbai, July 19 - Yash Raj Film's Saiyaara is a box office juggernaut. After an excellent first day collection of 21 crore net, the romantic drama is witnessing a jump of around 20% which is huge as the film is facing capacity issues in many areas. ## According to early estimates, Mohit Suri's directorial is expected to score 23-25 crores net collection on its second day, taking the total to around 45 crores net in 2 days. The collection could have been much higher had this been a bigger release. ## The jump in collection on the second day is, anyway, a big positive news for the film, as the first day itself faced capacity issues. More shows are being added on demand, and that might also lead to another jump on Sunday, but it is unlikely to be big. ## Starring Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda, Saiyaara is doing very well in most areas, especially in metro cities. It is bringing in the youth and mass audience in large numbers. The first weekend is expected to be in the range of 70-75 crores net, which is a dream start for a newcomer film. ## The movie most likely holds up very well during the weekdays, starting from Monday. The film has faced a capacity issue over the weekend, so there will be a large audience which will turn up during the weekdays. Saiyaara is a certified blockbuster, but how far it can go remains to be seen. ## Stay tuned...

Ajay Devgn's 'Son of Sardaar 2' Advance Booking Update: A Tough Challenge Awaits

Mumbai, July 19 - The Bollywood film industry is rejoicing with the unexpected blockbuster success of Yash Raj Films' musical romantic drama Saiyaara, featuring two debutantes, Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda. Mohit Suri's directorial has taken the box office by storm and is on its way to becoming a big blockbuster. ## Well, the party could be doubled for the industry with Ajay Devgn-fronted much-awaited romantic action comedy Son of Sardaar 2 hitting the big screen next week. Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora, the film is carrying a positive buzz within the trade circle. ## Son of Sardaar 2 advance booking update ## With less than a week left for the film to release on August 1, the makers are putting in efforts to intensify the promotion. The second trailer of the film will be launched on July 20, and according to the reports, it will be followed by the booking, which is now expected to open on July 28, on Monday. The booking was supposed to open on July 22, but the makers have pushed back the release of the film by a week, to August 1, due to Saiyaar's strong performance. ## In the post-pandemic world, the positive movement in booking has become a must, especially for big-budget films. In the case of SOS2, the makers are hopeful that the franchise value and the buzz for the movie will reflect in the pre-sales for a good start at the box office. ## Will Saiyaara Impact Son of Sardaar 2? ## Son of Sardaar 2 looked like a safe bet at the box office a week ago, but things might have changed now. While it is still likely to take a good opening, it might not be as big as earlier, and the reason is Saiyaara. The strong performance of this YRF production must have raised the eyebrows of the SOS2 makers, as their film is going to be challenged by this young love story. ## It is like a Deja vu for the SOS franchise, which has a history of clashing with a YRF film. Back in 2012, the first Son of Sardaar film was up against YRF's Jab Tak Hai Jaan, starring superstar Shah Rukh Khan. However, despite the mighty clash, SOS managed to do good business at the box office worldwide, and the makers will be hoping that things will be the same this time around as well. ## About Son of Sardaar 2 ## Directed by Vijay Kumar Arora and produced by Devgn Films and Jio Studios, SOS2 stars Ajay Devgn alongside Mrunal Thakur, Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, Deepak Dobriyal, Chunky Panday, Neeru Bajwa, Kubbra Sait, Vindu Dara Singh, and Mukul Dev, among others. ## Stay tuned...

Box Office: 'Saiyaara' First Day Early Estimates; A Blockbuster Start For Ahaan Shetty, Aneet Padda-Starrer

Mumbai, July 18 - Yash Raj Films' romantic drama Saiyaara, starring Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda, has taken a blockbuster opening at the Indian box office. The movie surpassed all pre-release trade projections by a substantial margin. ## According to early estimates, the film has earned a net collection of around 20-21 crores on its first day. There is an intense competition at the moment at the Hindi box office among the Bollywood and Hollywood titles, which is making it difficult for the movie to get the desired showcasing. ## There was a capacity issue with Saiyaara on the first day, but the good thing is that the word of mouth is positive, and the arrangements are already being made to increase the showcasing over the weekend, which was inevitable given the huge opening. ## A big spike in Saiyaara's business is very much expected on Saturday and Sunday, as it will be aiming for 70-80 crores net opening weekend, which is a sensational start. Another good thing for the movie is that even single screens have performed well on the first day, so this can vary the estimates a little bit. ## About Saiyaara ## The film stars Ahaan Panday as Krish Kapoor, a rising musician whose raw talent and ambition set him on a collision course with the realities of the modern music industry.

'Saiyaara' Scored Second Biggest Advance Booking For Bollywood In 2025; Eyes 25 Crore Net Opening Day

Mumbai, July 18 - Yash Raj Films' romantic drama Saiyaara hits the big screen today after scoring the second biggest advance booking of the year for a Bollywood title, beating the big budget titles like Salman Khan's Sikandar and Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5. ## Directed by Mohit Suri and starring Ahaan Pandey and Aneeth Padda in their big screen debut, the pre-sales of Saiyaara have stunned one and all. ## Saiyaara Sold Second Best Advance Tickets For Bollywood In 2025 ## The film has sold approximately 195,000 tickets on its first day at the three national chains (PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis), which is the second-highest of the year, behind Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava (225,000 tickets). Overall, Saiyaara has sold approximately 380,000 tickets nationwide for the opening day, which is again the second-best. ## In terms of advance booking gross collection, Saiyaara (9.40 crores) is the third among the 2025 Bollywood movies, behind Chhaava (13.80 crores) and Sikandar (10.10 crores). It is probably the biggest pre-sales ever for an Indian movie featuring newcomers. ## Saiyaara Eyes 25 Crore Net Opening Day Collection ## The box office projections for the movie have kept getting changed with each passing hour, and the reason being is the strong advance booking momentum. Before the bookings opened, the movie was projected to open in the range of 5-6 crores, but the projection quickly went up to double digits after the initial response. ## Considering how the advances have progressed, the film is now looking to open in the range of 20-25 crores net, with the strong possibility of opening around the higher end of the projection. Trade experts also believe the opening can be much higher, simply because the film has momentum with it, which might overcome even the optimistic projection, which needs to be seen. ## Stay tuned...

The movie seemingly had a low buzz on social media, but the booking trend is not resonating with that. ## The Mohit Suri's directorial is putting all the pre-release talks in the dustbin and has sold 1,20,000 tickets at the three national chains (PVR, INOX, and Cinepolis) with still 12 hours left for the first show to begin, according to Himesh Mankad of Himesh Mankad of Pinkvilla. This is a historical booking for a movie featuring unknown faces. ## As of 12 PM, the film has sold around 90,000 tickets in PVR+INOX and around 30,000 tickets in Cinepolis for the first day. The final ticket sale count in PIC is expected to be around 1.75-2 lakh, which is phenomenal to say the least. ## Saiyaara Beats Housefull 5 and Raid 2 Final Advance Ticket Count At The National Chains ## Such has been the response that Saiyaara has beaten the final ticket sale count of Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5 and Ajay Devgn's Raid 2, even before the first show begin. Housefull 5 had sold approximately 95,000 tickets, while Raid 2 sold 93,000 tickets at national chains for the first day. ## The movie is now on track to beat Salman Khan's Sikandar, which sold around 1,43,000 tickets. Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava is currently the biggest pre-sales scorer for Bollywood in 2025, with around 2,25,000 tickets in PIC, and Saiyaara will be close to it by the end of the day, if not able to surpass the figure. ## Saiyaara Opening Day Box Office Expecatations ## The Hindi film industry is bracing up for an unexpected big opening, and no one has any answer as to why the movie has suddenly become the hot topic in the trade. With this sort of pre-sales, a 20 crore net opening is given, but the size of the release is not as big as some of the other movies with similar kinds of sales data. ## There is buzz in the industry that YRF is looking to increase the screens after seeing the excellent response in the pre-sales. According to Himesh Mankad of Pinkvilla, the film is aiming to release on 1750 screens nationwide, with the possibility to go higher as well. If this happens, then a 20 crore net opening is certain, which remains to be seen. ## Stay tuned...

Mumbai, July 16 - Yash Raj Films, the powerhouse behind some of Bollywood's most iconic romantic dramas, is all set to deliver its next potential blockbuster in the form of Saiyaara.

Bookings opened just yesterday, three days ahead of the release, and the initial pre-sales numbers have surprised the entire trade circuit. ## In just over a day, Saiyaara has sold more than 50,000 tickets for its opening day, and the final pre-sales tally could touch an impressive 150,000+ tickets by the time the film hits screens.

Ramayana's Rs. 4000 Crore Budget Shocks Netizens – Sets New Benchmark for Indian Cinema

Mumbai, July 15 - Director Nitesh Tiwari's big screen adaptation of Ramayana is officially the costliest Indian film by a long margin, after producer Namit Malhotra revealed that the budget for this 2-part epic will be in the range of Rs. 4000 crores. ## In a recent podcast, Malhotra said that they have been working on this mega project for the past 6-7 years and by the time they are done with both parts, the budget will be around $500 million, which equals roughly Rs. 4000 crores. ## "We are making the largest film in the world for the greatest story and greatest epic that the world should see. I think it's still cheaper than some of the Hollywood films' budgets. I think we are making a bigger film at a lower cost. For me, it's not a money-driven thing", Malhotra said. ## Ramayana Budget Shocks Netizens ## While the budget of Ramayana is undoubtedly the highest ever for any Indian production, netizens are still not able to digest the fact that this project is costing Rs. 4000 crore, even though everyone is aware that some of the world's finest technicians with the best technology are working on it. ## Netizens are sharing their thoughts on social media and asking if Ramayana has that global pull to recover this budget. One can't blame the audience for their reactions, as no one could have imagined in their wildest dreams that an Indian production could have $500 million. To recover this cost, both parts of Ramayana will need to gross over $1 billion globally, which is a tough ask. ## Makers Are Super Confident On Ramayana's Global Appeal ## It is no secret that to recover the cost, Ramayana has to perform strongly outside India. According to Namit Malhotra, they are making a film that the global audience has never experienced before, and he is super confident that this historical epic will resonate with the worldwide audience, not only to Indians. ## Ramayana Cast, and Release Timeline ## Produced by Namit Malhotra and Yash, Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Rama and Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, joined by Ravie Dubey as Lakshman, Yash as the fearsome Raavan, and Sunny Deol in the powerful role of Hanuman. The first part of the movie is scheduled to hit the big screen on Diwali 2026, followed by the second part on Diwali 2027. ##

War 2 vs Coolie: Which Star-Studded Film Could Emerge Victorious at the Box Office?

Mumbai, July 14 - The stage is set for two of Indian cinema's most awaited blockbusters, YRF's War 2 and Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie, which hit the big screens in one month, during the Independence Day weekend. The films are gearing up to battle it in a direct clash at the box office on August 14 in multiple languages. ## Both films are headlined by massive stars, backed by successful franchises or filmmakers, and are positioned to make massive dents in the box office charts. But the question remains: which film has the edge? Even though both movies are from different industries, they carry enough power to dent each other's box office potential in some regions. ## Star Power ## War 2: The 6th film in YRF's Spy Universe brings together Hrithik Roshan, reprising his role as Kabir from the first movie, and Jr. NTR, who's making his Bollywood debut with this. The north-south combination is a major highlight of Ayan Mukerji's directorial, with fan bases across India. ## Coolie: The action drama film features Rajinikanth in a massy, larger-than-life avatar, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, whose last two directorial works were huge blockbusters in the form of Leo and Vikram. Plus, the presence of Aamir Khan, even if it is a cameo role, could make an impact in North India. ## Edge: War 2 has an edge due to its pan-India appeal with the presence of Hrithik and Jr. NTR in the leading role, but Coolie can make inroads purely because of star aura and cult following, especially in Tamil and Telugu states. ## Franchise Factor ## War 2: The film is a part of the hugely popular franchise, Spy Universe, and also serves as a sequel to the blockbuster film, War (2019). The potential crossover between the actors of other films in the universe makes it further appealing. Coolie: Despite the rumours, the makers have confirmed that Coolie is not a part of Lokesh Cinematic Universe (LCU), and serves as a standalone film. ## Edge: War 2 benefits from being part of a shared cinematic universe with established audience expectations. ## Box Office Potential ## War 2: The blockbuster sequel is expected to dominate in North India and overseas, especially due to YRF's strong distribution and Jr. NTR's debut in the Hindi belt. The latter's presence also makes the film a priority in Telugu states. Coolie: South India is expected to go berserk for Coolie. Despite Jr. NTR's War 2, the Rajinikanth-starrer is likely to take a good opening in Telugu states as hype is already there. It is unlikely to challenge War 2 in the Hindi belt, but could find some success if marketing is spot-on with Aamir Khan. ## Edge: War 2 might take the lead globally and in multiplex circuits. Coolie could dominate in the South and single screens. ## Who Could Emerge on Top? ## If War 2 manages to stay true to its franchise's strength by nailing its action, hitting emotional beats, and leveraging the Spy Universe well, it could become one of Bollywood's biggest blockbusters. Coolie, on the other hand, if it delivers the "Rajinikanth x Lokesh" experience fans are dreaming of, it could become a phenomenon in the South and surprise everyone in the North too. ## Conclusion ## War 2 looks winner at the moment (if both films score positive reception) as it has the broader pan-India commercial appeal due to various reasons (Spy Universe, sequel, and star power), but Coolie carries the weight of a mass revival moment for Rajinikanth, backed by a director who understands the pulse of today's audience. It can be said that the film that best balances content and hype will emerge victorious in the star-studded showdown. ## Stay tuned...
