Box Office: 'Saiyaara' First Day Early Estimates; A Blockbuster Start For Ahaan Shetty, Aneet Padda-Starrer

Mumbai, July 18 - Yash Raj Films' romantic drama Saiyaara, starring Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda, has taken a blockbuster opening at the Indian box office. The movie surpassed all pre-release trade projections by a substantial margin.

According to early estimates, the film has earned a net collection of around 20-21 crores on its first day. There is an intense competition at the moment at the Hindi box office among the Bollywood and Hollywood titles, which is making it difficult for the movie to get the desired showcasing.



There was a capacity issue with Saiyaara on the first day, but the good thing is that the word of mouth is positive, and the arrangements are already being made to increase the showcasing over the weekend, which was inevitable given the huge opening.

A big spike in Saiyaara's business is very much expected on Saturday and Sunday, as it will be aiming for 70-80 crores net opening weekend, which is a sensational start. Another good thing for the movie is that even single screens have performed well on the first day, so this can vary the estimates a little bit.
