Filmmaker Mohit Suri is back with a banger, and this time, it’s the romantic drama “Saiyaara” that’s rewriting records. Produced by none other than Yash Raj Films, this cinematic lovefest is all set to be the biggest romantic debut of 2025. According to industry tracker Sanlik, the film is already making waves with massive advance bookings, and the hype? Off the charts.
Starring fresh faces Ahaan Pandey (yep, Chunky Pandey’s nephew) and Aneet Padda, Saiyaara has raked in 1,95,000 ticket sales across India’s big three chains — PVR, INOX & Cinepolis — by Thursday evening..! It now sits as the second-highest advance booking of the year, just behind Vicky Kaushal’s ‘Chaava’ (which had 2,25,000).
Expected Day 1 Collection: Rs 25 crore
Saiyaara: The Review That Has Everyone Talking
Veteran trade analyst Taran Adarsh reviewed “Saiyaara”. In his review, he called it “a well-packaged entertainer with a gripping screenplay and impactful dialogue delivery.” But what really made him go all heart-eyed emoji? The soundtrack. According to him, it’s the “biggest triumph” of the film — and honestly, when Mohit Suri does music, he does music.
He dubbed Saiyaara as “a magic of timeless romance with a modern touch.”
🎬 Ahaan Pandey: Bursting onto the screen with raw emotion, charisma, and that undeniable star spark. Taran Adarsh says, “It’s hard to believe this is his first film — a star is born.”
👩⚕️ Aneet Padda: Though she made her acting debut in 2022 with Salaam Venky, this is her big commercial leap — Taran calls her “radiant, expressive, and an absolute natural.” Her emotional range?
Set against the melodic backdrop of music and love, Saiyaara follows Vani, a soulful writer, and Krish, a rising singer, as they collaborate and create magic. But it’s not all roses — personal struggles, different worlds, and emotional baggage make the journey of love anything but simple. Will they make it through? Or will the music stop midway?
Saiyaara isn’t just a film — it’s a whole vibe.
Old-school romance with new-age feels. Music that hits differently. And debutants who came to conquer, not just show up.
Day 1, and the box office is already theirs. Let’s see what Week 1 brings 👀
