In fact, Saiyaara’s Monday collections outperformed its Friday earnings. It’s an extraordinary achievement that speaks volumes about its word-of-mouth power and emotional resonance.
The Anurag Basu-produced musical drama, starring newcomers, is rewriting every rule in the playbook. It’s now officially the biggest Monday grosser for a film led by debutants.
According to the latest reports, the film has now surpassed star-driven titles like Housefull 5 (Akshay Kumar), Raid 2 (Ajay Devgn), and Sitaare Zameen Par (Aamir Khan).
Even Chhaava, 2025’s highest-grossing film starring Vicky Kaushal, fell short of Saiyaara’s Monday numbers.
The film’s total now stands at ₹108.75 crore within just four days: Friday (₹22 cr), Saturday (₹26.25 cr), Sunday (₹36.25 cr), and Monday (₹24.25 cr).
With the #BlockbusterTuesdays initiative offering discounted ticket prices, advance bookings are increasing, and trade experts expect Tuesday’s figures to be equally historic.
Saiyaara earning ₹24.25 crore even on a Monday is not just a statistic; it’s proof that the corporate studios’ notion—that a film’s entire revenue is confined to the weekend—is now beginning to shatter, provided the film genuinely touches the audience’s hearts or is truly outstanding.
This demonstrates that if a story has substance and its presentation is commendable, audiences won’t hesitate to flock to cinemas on any given day.
