The Bollywood film 'Saiyaara' achieved a blockbuster opening in 2025, defying expectations with a strong advance booking collection of 9.39 crore and nearly 3.8 lakh tickets sold. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh reported 1,38,000 tickets sold across major cinema chains. This opening day performance is being compared to notable debutant films like 'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai' and 'Refugee' from 2000, and historical blockbusters such as 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'.
