Saiyaara box office: Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda starrer crushes Stree 2 to achieve this milestone

Ahaan Panday & Aneet Padda starrer Saiyaara is in no mood to slow down at the box office. The romantic drama continues to garner crazy footfalls as it raked in around Rs 21.25 crore on its 6th day at the ticket windows, which takes its total to Rs 155 crore.

Despite not going all out with the promotions, Saiyaara garnered unprecedented excitement among the cinegoers. Before the release of the movie, director Mohit Suri spoke about it and told Firstpost, “I’ve been inside the studio for the last one month. I have no idea. And unlike the past when people travel from one studio to another, this is everything inhouse at YRF. So I haven’t really gone out and met the world outside. Normally, when you are working on other films, you go out for the day; for sound, edit, and VFX. It was different different places.

And just hearing it now, it does feel it does feel very redeeming and validating because when I started off this film, I was quite discouraged by a lot of senior people saying that nobody would be interested in a young love story. Because at that time, larger-than-life films were being made and I just thought that my voice would be lost there when everyone was shouting. So I just went and tried to make a film which is very different from what others were doing. And to me, the fact that people are appreciating that the difference that it’s standing out means a lot.”
