Saiyaara Box Office Collection Day 15 -After a promising start and a solid two-week run at the box office, “Saiyaara”, the much-hyped debut film of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has witnessed a sharp decline in its earnings. On Day 15, the romantic drama recorded its lowest single-day collection since its release, raising concerns over the film’s long-term commercial sustainability.
Despite strong promotional campaigns and a relatively decent opening weekend, the film’s momentum has clearly begun to fizzle out, especially as new releases enter the fray.
Day 15 Collection: Slips Below ₹2 Crore Mark
According to early trade estimates, “Saiyaara” earned approximately ₹1.68 crore on Day 15, marking its weakest performance at the box office to date. The film has now slipped well below its weekday average, which hovered around ₹3–4 crore during its second week.
This latest dip brings the total domestic box office collection to approximately ₹282.18 crore, which, while impressive for a debut film, has begun to plateau. Industry insiders attribute the slump to audience fatigue, a lack of repeat viewing, and fierce competition from recent high-profile releases.
Box Office Breakdown So Far
| Day | Collection (in ₹ crore) |
|---|---|
| Day 1 (Friday) | 18.2 |
| Day 2 (Saturday) | 23.5 |
| Day 3 (Sunday) | 27.1 |
| Week 1 Total | 175.3 |
| Week 2 Total | 105.2 |
| Day 15 (Friday) | 1.68 |
| Total So Far | ₹282.18 crore |
While the first week witnessed a blockbuster-level response driven by curiosity, debut buzz, and youthful appeal, the second week reflected a steady slowdown. The third week has now kicked off with a significant drop, raising doubts about the film’s ability to maintain its presence in theatres.
What Went Wrong?
Despite its eye-catching cinematography, trendy soundtrack, and a high-energy promotional tour, “Saiyaara” has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. While Ahaan Panday’s charm and Aneet Padda’s screen presence have been praised, the film’s plot has been criticized for lacking depth and originality.
Additionally, the film faces stiff competition from recent releases, including action thrillers, a family entertainer, and a major regional blockbuster that has gained pan-India traction. With reduced screen counts and declining footfalls, “Saiyaara” may struggle to cross the ₹300 crore mark—a milestone once considered easily achievable.
Star Debuts: High Expectations, Mixed Reception
“Saiyaara” was positioned as a major launchpad for Ahaan Panday, cousin of Bollywood star Ananya Panday, and Aneet Padda, a newcomer from Punjab’s theater scene. Both actors have been in the spotlight throughout the film’s marketing phase, including city tours, reality show appearances, and social media promotions.
Their on-screen chemistry drew appreciation, and their performances have been labeled promising. However, without a strong script to support their fresh talent, the film failed to leave a lasting impact beyond the initial wave of excitement.
Audience Response: From Buzz to Burnout
On social media, fans have shown divided opinions. While some admire the youthful energy and music of the film, others believe the story fell short of expectations.
Comments such as “Beautiful visuals but weak storyline” and “Expected more from Ahaan’s debut” reflect the general sentiment that while the film had style, it lacked substance.
What Lies Ahead for “Saiyaara”?
With the third weekend approaching and multiple new releases lined up, “Saiyaara” faces an uphill battle to stay afloat at the box office. Unless the film sees a miraculous surge in footfalls—perhaps fueled by satellite or OTT buzz—it’s likely to wrap up its theatrical journey below the ₹300 crore milestone.
Trade analysts predict that the film may add ₹10–15 crore more to its total before concluding its run.
Final Verdict
“Saiyaara” may have kicked off with the glitter of a blockbuster, but it now finds itself caught in the harsh reality of a fickle box office. The film marks a decent debut for its lead actors, but its underwhelming third-week performance and fading buzz are reminders that star power alone cannot sustain a film.
Whether Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda rise from this with stronger scripts and smarter choices remains to be seen—but their talent has been noticed. “Saiyaara” may not be a classic, but it has surely been a launchpad.
