Ahaan Panday’s debut film Saiyaara is no longer just a promising newcomer’s launch. It is now a certified box office storm. Directed by Mohit Suri and backed by Yash Raj Films, the musical romantic drama has crossed ₹373 crore worldwide within just 11 days of release, making it one of the biggest blockbusters of the year.

As of its second Monday, Saiyaara has earned ₹256.75 crore in India alone, with ₹9.5 crore coming in on the 11th day. The overseas markets have added a remarkable ₹77 crore to the tally, bringing the total global figure to ₹373.7 crore. These are numbers usually reserved for seasoned superstars, yet here we are watching two debutants hold their ground and win hearts across the board.

The film has had an impressive second-week performance, with weekend figures touching ₹30 crore on Sunday and ₹26.5 crore on Saturday. Even on a working Monday, it managed to maintain its momentum with an overall occupancy of 15.28 percent. Cities like Chennai, Jaipur, Bengaluru, NCR, and Hyderabad continue to report solid turnouts, indicating strong word-of-mouth and repeat viewership.

Trade experts are amazed. Renowned analyst Taran Adarsh noted that Saiyaara is rewriting the rules, saying the ₹300 crore mark is well within reach and the real question now is whether it will storm past ₹400 crore in the coming days. He described it as a record-smashing spree and called the film “unpredictable in the best way”.

What’s making Saiyaara such a phenomenon? A compelling love story, for starters. The plot follows Krish Kapoor, a passionate musician played by Ahaan Panday, and Vaani Batra, an introverted aspiring author portrayed by Aneet Padda. Their slow-burn romance set against the backdrop of dreams and personal healing has struck a deep chord with audiences. The music, too, has become a rage, with its soundtrack dominating charts and reels.

For Mohit Suri, the man behind Aashiqui 2, this marks a triumphant return to a genre he once defined. And for Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara is a strong statement that emotionally resonant stories, when backed by solid performances and good music, still rule the Indian box office.

With the second week in full swing and a growing wave of support from fans, Saiyaara is not just collecting numbers, it is creating nostalgia. Whether it ultimately hits ₹400 crore or not, it has already become one of the year’s biggest success stories and a launchpad like no other for Ahaan Panday.
