On Saturday, Saiyaara collected Rs 24 crore at the domestic box office, after opening at Rs 21 crore on Friday. On its first Sunday, it saw a significant growth of Rs 37.00 crore (early estimates), as per a report in Sacnilk. The total box office collection of Saiyaara in three days stands at Rs 83 crore.
The film recorded an overall 71.18% Hindi occupancy on Sunday, with maximum occupancy of 88.15% during the evening shows, and minimum occupancy of 38.70% during the morning shows. Afternoon and night shows recorded footfall of 78.53%, and 79.32%, respectively.
Saiyaara had highest number of screenings — 1,120 shows in the Delhi-NCR region, which also recorded the highest occupancy, followed by other cities like Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad.
It has emerged as one of the biggest openers and also surpassed the collections of debutant-led films. It has crossed the total domestic collection of Student of the Year (SOTY) within just three days of release. Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra-starrer SOTY had earned Rs 70 crore in India in 2012. The Mohit Suri-directorial has also crossed the lifetime India collection of SOTY 2 which had collected Rs 70.86 crore. It is also all set to surpass the lifetime domestic collections of Janhvi Kapoor’s debut film Dhadak, which had collected Rs 95.12 crore.
An excerpt from the 카지노 India review of the film read: "Saiyaara recycles every trope in a love story, dressing it up with Suri’s typical ballads to accentuate the bends of a seemingly doomed relationship. Both the leads are defined by grief and trauma. There's heartbreak, manipulation and cruel hijinks of destiny, aiming to give beats to this wretchedly overstretched saga. A lot of tears are shed but little in this film scorches the screen or summons a grand tide of passionate, bruised emotion."
