 "Saiyaara box office: Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda starrer trumps Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan, Yash's KGF 2 & Aamir Khan's PK to achieve this feat")
Despite the arrival of Marvel biggie, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and the animated movie Mahavatar Narsimha, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer Saiyaara remained rock steady on its 2nd Friday. The romantic drama earned around Rs 18 crore and currently stands with a grand total of around Rs 193.25 crore.

Before the release of the movie, director Mohit Suri spoke about Saiyaara’s comparison with Aashiqui 2 in an interview with Firstpost. He said, “When I made Zeher, they said it looked like Murder. When I made Ek Villain, they said it looked like Murder 2. When I made Malang, they said it looked like Ek Villain. When I made Aashiqui 2, they said it looked like Woh Lamhe and Rockstar. So I think when I go ahead and make my next film, they’ll say it looks like Saiyaara. I think when they’re comparing it to my own work rather than somebody else’s, it’s good.”
