Saiyaara Box Office: Ahaan Panday – Aneet Padda starrer surpasses Sitaare Zameen Par in Overseas markets; targets Chhaava next

Mohit Suri’s *Saiyaara* is keeping its strong performance not only in India but also in other international markets. After a great second weekend, the romantic drama featuring Ahaan Panday, who is making his debut, and Aneet Padda, who gained fame with *Big Girls Don’t Cry*, has reached another big achievement. *Saiyaara* has now surpassed the overseas earnings of Aamir Khan and Akshay Kumar's film *Sitaare Zameen Par*, reaching a total of $8 million. And the film is still showing strong signs of growth. 

The success of *Saiyaara* in international markets isn’t just steady — it’s growing really fast. 

From the Middle East to North America, the UK to Australia, the film has touched the hearts of South Asian audiences who love heartfelt, music-filled romances. Its story about dreams, longing, and modern relationships, along with Mohit Suri’s emotional style and a soundtrack that's been on top of streaming charts, has made it a big hit worldwide. 

By beating *Sitaare Zameen Par*, which stars two of Bollywood’s top actors, *Saiyaara* has shown that just having big names doesn’t always mean success overseas. 

What really works is a story that connects with people, characters that feel real, and music that brings out every emotion. The love story of *Saiyaara* has crossed many borders and age groups, making it one of the rare debut films to become a big hit internationally. 

*Saiyaara* has also passed several other big budget films, like *Sikandar* ($6. 

316 million), *Housefull 5* ($5. 45 million), *Kesari Chapter 2* ($3. 90 million), and *Raid 2* ($3. 40 million). These movies had established stars or were part of popular franchises. Yet *Saiyaara*, which is mainly based on its content and word of mouth, has outperformed all of them in overseas markets. 

What’s even more impressive is that *Saiyaara* has reached these numbers in just two weeks, with many key international markets still showing great advance bookings and repeated viewings. 

With this kind of continued success, the next big milestone is likely close — Vicky Kaushal’s *Chhaava*, which is at $10. 25 million, is now within reach. 

If *Saiyaara* continues on this path, it will not only be one of the top overseas grossing films of the year but also change the story about debut films succeeding globally. 

It has already made history by making Ahaan Panday the first debutant to reach the Rs 200 crore mark in India, and now it’s looking like it might do the same abroad. 

With *Saiyaara*, Yash Raj Films and Mohit Suri have not only brought back the romance genre — they have shown that stories that are emotionally deep and musically rich still have a wide appeal. 

As *Saiyaara* gets closer to beating *Chhaava*, it’s possible that it could soon hold another box office title: the biggest romantic film of the year in overseas markets.
