'Saiyaara' Still Shining: Mohit Suri's Film Nears ₹330 Crore in India, Defies Box Office Expectations in Week 6

Mohit Suri’s romantic action drama Saiyaara, starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, is proving to be one of the most resilient performers at the 2025 box office. Now well into its sixth week, the film continues to register impressive numbers after surviving some big films .In its sixth week, Saiyaara collected Rs 2.89 crore at the domestic box office, showing hardly any decline from the fifth week’s tally of Rs 2.95 crore. Such consistency is a rare feat in today’s competitive marketplace, where films usually struggle to maintain momentum beyond their second or third week. The film’s ability to retain footfalls has stunned many trade experts, who initially expected the collections to taper off sharply after its blockbuster opening month.The total collection now stands at a massive Rs 328.69 crore in India, cementing Saiyaara’s status as one of the biggest successes of the year. For a film headlined by debutants, this achievement is nothing short of remarkable. Industry analysts credit Mohit Suri’s trademark blend of romance, music, and high-voltage drama for connecting with audiences across demographics.What is even more striking is the minimal week-on-week drop. From Rs 2.95 crore in the fifth week to Rs 2.89 crore in the sixth, the fall is negligible, suggesting that word of mouth, repeat viewings and lackluster response to newly released films is still driving audiences to theatres. The soundtrack, which has dominated music charts since release, continues to act as a major pull factor for younger crowds, while the emotional storyline has resonated strongly with family audiences.Today sees the release of Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor’s love story Param Sundari , directed by Tushar Jalota and backed by Dinesh Vijan. It would be interesting to see how this love story performs in comparison to Saiyaara. For Mohit Suri, Saiyaara is not just a commercial triumph but also a career-defining moment that introduced two promising faces to Bollywood and reaffirmed his reputation as a master storyteller of romance and drama.
