Mohit Suri's romantic drama Saiyaara, featuring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, is making history at the box office. After a record-breaking weekend, the film has now joined the list of top first Monday earners in Indian cinema. With earnings of Rs. 24. 25 crore on its first Monday, Saiyaara has become the 15th highest-grossing film ever on that day, beating the Vicky Kaushal starrer Chhaava, which made Rs. 24. 10 crore.
This achievement places Saiyaara among some of the most successful films in history.
It's close behind titles like Sanju (Rs. 25. 35 crore), K. G. F: Chapter 2 (Rs. 25. 57 crore), Dangal (Rs. 25. 69 crore), Pathaan (Rs. 26. 50 crore), and Bajrangi Bhaijaan (Rs. 27. 05 crore). For a film led by two first-time actors with no franchise or festival benefits, this is an incredible feat.
What makes Saiyaara's success even more impressive is that it's competing with movies that had big stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, and Aamir Khan.
These films also had larger releases, bigger promotions, and already strong fan bases. Despite these advantages, Saiyaara has remained popular at the ticket counters.
Looking at recent top-performing first Mondays, films like Pushpa 2 – The Rule (Rs.
48 crore), Animal (Rs. 44. 47 crore), Baahubali 2 – The Conclusion (Rs. 40. 25 crore), and Gadar 2 (Rs. 38. 70 crore) are leading the charts. Still, Saiyaara is climbing steadily into the all-time list. This shows its popularity is growing naturally, thanks to great word-of-mouth and audience connection.
Ahaan Panday, making his debut with Yash Raj Films, has hit the jackpot with Saiyaara.
The film's heartfelt story, youthful vibe, and powerful music have made it a favorite among viewers. Aneet Padda's confident acting and Mohit Suri's unique mix of romance and heartache have helped the film gain more fans.
Saiyaara has already crossed the Rs.
100 crore mark globally in just four days and now holds a special place in the all-time first Monday list. The film's strong performance on a weekday, with even more collections than the opening day, suggests a long and successful run ahead.
So far, Saiyaara has not only become the biggest hit of 2025 but has also made history.
It's one of the rare successes that came entirely from newcomers, and it's showing no signs of slowing down.
