Mohit Suri's Saiyaara continues to make history at the Box Office. The movie is already the highest film for debutants since Hrithik Roshan's launch in Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai back in 2000. Now, the latest trends suggest that the Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda film is chasing another record. This time, it is to become the highest opening film of 2025. The movie has already beaten the record set by Salman Khan's Sikandar and is now looking at crossing Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava to become the highest-grossing film of 2025.

Saiyaara is looking at the highest opening day at the Box Office. The movie, according to Sacnilk, sold 3.8 lakh tickets in advance booking alone. With it, the movie has already left the second-highest opening film of 2025 aka Salman Khan's Sikandar behind. The film had sold 3.3 lakh tickets and opened to Rs. 10 crore. The current trends suggest that Saiyaara would easily open with Rs. 15 crore and could earn even Rs. 25 crore at the Box Office if there is a general positive response from the critics and public. The numbers are only bound to rise over the weekend if that happens.

It is way too early to say if Saiyaara could beat Vicky Kaushal-Rashmika Mandanna-Akshaye Khanna's Chhaava to become the highest-grossing film of 2025. However, given how the public demand for the film is, one cannot ignore the fact that Saiyaara very much has the potential to become the highest-grossing movie of the year, leaving even Chhaava behind. Of course, that again depends on the content that the film offers, and how much the viewers can connect with it.
Saiyaara has been tagged as Aashiqui 3 on more than one occasion. The reality is that the story started off as Aashiqui 3, but the title had to be changed. So, while Saiyaara has traces of Aashiqui franchise, it cannot be officially declared as Aashiqui 3. Nonetheless, there is a huge inspiration from Aashiqui 2, and that has left viewers with immense hope related to the film. The first day final figures will be out by mid-night/early morning, and with it, we would have the final verdict for Saiyaara day 1.
