Saiyaara box office collection day 1 early report: Mohit Suri’s romantic drama surpasses opening day collection of Murder 2, Aashiqui 2

Saiyaara box office collection day 1 early report: Mohit Suri has returned with a romantic drama, three years after the release of his film Ek Villain Returns. That film was a box office debacle.

Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 8: Mohit Suri directorial crosses Rs 190 cr mark.

Saiyaara box office collection day 1 early report: Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara finally released in theatres today. Starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, the film is off to an impressive start, surpassing the opening day collections of several recent releases. As of 8 pm, the romantic drama has reportedly earned Rs 15.51 crore, according to early estimates by industry tracker Sacnilk.

The movie has surpassed the opening day collections of Mohit Suri’s earlier films such as Murder 2 (Rs 6.95 crore), Aashiqui 2 (Rs 6.10 crore), and Half Girlfriend (Rs 10.30 crore). The film is also on track to overtake the first-day collection of his 2014 blockbuster Ek Villain, which earned Rs 16 crore on its opening day and went on to become a major success. Saiyaara’s strong performance could mark a turning point for Suri, who has been awaiting a hit since Ek Villain, which was made on a budget of Rs 39 crore and grossed Rs 155 crore worldwide.

‘Saiyaara has shattered every myth about launching newcomers’

The buzz around the Yash Raj Films has been significant, especially due to its soundtrack. Its performance has also prompted responses from personalities like Madhur Bhandarkar and Sanjay Gupta. Taking to X, Bhandarkar wrote, “Saiyaara has shattered every myth about launching newcomers. No big names, no bug PR just raw talent and fearless storytelling. In an industry obsessed with stars, Saiyaara proved that audiences are ready for the unpredictable. A bold reminder. It’s not about who you know. It’s about what you bring. Exciting times for Hindi cinema.”

Sanjay Gupta posted on X, “So whoever took the decision at YRF to keep the lead pair of Saiyaara away from all the pre release interviews, appearances and pod casts is a genius. They kept alive the freshness exclusively for the big screen. And look at how it’s worked.”
