On July 18, Saiyaara secured the highest first-day collection for a debut Bollywood film earning a first-day gross of ₹21.25 crore at the box office. Such positive box office performance firmly established Ahaan Panday & Aneet Padda as promising up and coming names in Hindi cinema.

Mohit Suri on Casting Real Film Fans, Not Influencers

Director Mohit Suri said that Ahaan and Aneet were not casted as "influencers" but as cinephiles who had watched his previous work. They auditioned well not because they have social media presence, but due to their impressive understanding of the emotional rhythm of cinema. The decision to cast them like this put an authenticity on Saiyaara and helped establish a connection with audiences.

Before becoming a lead actor, Aneet Padda balanced her time between Delhi University exams and auditioning for Saiyaara. Though director Mohit Suri expressed concern that she might struggle academically, she not only passed her exams but excelled—defying expectations and earning respect for her commitment to both art and studies.

A Fan’s Devotion: Watching Saiyaara While Connected to an IV Drip

One viral moment showing the significant depth of devoted fans: a terminally ill viewer attended a screening while attached to an IV drip in order to not miss out on the film. The clip went viral on social media and caused an emotional stir, showing the manner in which Saiyaara's story connected with actual human beings. This incredible and loving fan dedication ultimately represents a fantastic story about the film's emotional power—and in reaching audiences and fans in ways that are unpredictable.

Celebrity Endorsements Elevate Its Cultural Standing

Apart from its box office performance, Saiyaara is receiving support from Bollywood heavyweights:

Mahesh Babu raves about the film's honest storytelling, and the lead actor's effortless performances.

Alia Bhatt called the newcomers, "magical stars," and labeled Saiyaara as, "a movie that is full of soul." Her praise filled high emotional admiration and made the debut more credible.

This level of support will further increases Saiyaara's audience appeal and place the film as more than just a debut as it becomes a movement in Indian romantic cinema.

Just prior to its release, veteran filmmaker Karan Johar gave a great deal of support to Saiyaara, stating that the performances were excellent and that the story was great. When trolls came after Johar saying he was a "nepo kid ka daijaan," Johar snapped back - "chup kar...aur khud kuch kaam kar." Johar's rare public reaction fostered public dialogue about merit, work ethic, and privilege in Bollywood, all under the film's scrutiny.

The romantic drama didn't just start big; it carried momentum into its opening weekend. In just 3 days, the film earned ₹83 crore locally and crossed the ₹100 crore mark globally. This made Saiyaara one of the year's biggest surprise hits. 

Audiences loved the film's emotional narrative and music, as well as the genuine performances by both newcomers, and critics concluded that Saiyaara's success shows that audiences can embrace new faces when the story and execution are solid.
