Word‑of‑mouth power: With minimal promotions, the film rode on organic buzz. Viral videos of viewers crying or fainting in cinemas triggered social media chatter—even a man watching the movie on an IV drip became a viral case study.

Record‑smashing metrics: It crossed lifetime collections of iconic films such as Sitaare Zameen Par and Raid 2, and has already outperformed Housefull 5's lifetime gross.

What’s Next for Saiyaara?

Box office analysts forecast a lifetime gross range between ₹250 crore to ₹300 crore, with some even projecting an upward trajectory towards ₹350–400 crore depending on sustained momentum and terrace markets.
If the theatrical surge continues, Saiyaara could arguably become the second highest‑grossing Bollywood film of 2025, only behind Vicky Kaushal's Chhaava, which stands at ~₹800 crore overall (all‑language Indian films list).
