Mohit Suri’s romantic drama “Saiyaara” has created history in Indian cinema.
In just 11 days since its release, the film has earned a staggering ₹404 crore ($40.4 billion rupees) worldwide, making it the highest-grossing love story in the history of Indian cinema.
Starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, “Saiyaara” has surpassed the lifetime global collections of successful films like Shahid Kapoor’s “Kabir Singh” (₹379 crore) and Aamir Khan’s “Sitaare Zameen Par” (₹264 crore).
According to YRF, the film’s producers, since its release on July 18, the film has collected ₹318 crore in India and ₹86 crore overseas.
The film’s mix of heart-wrenching emotion, fresh faces, chart-busting soundtrack, and Mohit Suri’s signature storytelling style has contributed to its widespread appeal.
Despite having no major stars, “Saiyaara” has managed to outshine several high-budget, star-driven films released this year. With continued audience support, strong overseas performance, and trending music, “Saiyaara” is expected to cross the ₹500 crore mark soon.
