Saiyaara Day 18 Box Office Collection: Slows Down Sharply After Explosive Run

The high-octane romantic drama Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri and produced under the Yash Raj Films banner, has reached a significant milestone at the Indian box office. After an impressive 17-day streak, the film has now crossed the ₹300 crore mark in India net collections. However, Day 18 (Monday, August 4, 2025) shows a notable dip, with collections estimated at just ₹0.53 crore, indicating the film’s first major slowdown.

How is Saiyaara Performing at the Box Office After 18 Days?

Saiyaara opened to thunderous applause and packed houses, especially during its opening weekend, driven by strong word-of-mouth, youth appeal, and a magnetic performance by newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. The film collected ₹299.75 crore in its first 17 days. However, on Day 18, the movie saw a sharp drop in footfall, bringing in only ₹0.53 crore India net—a near 93% decline from its Day 17 earnings of ₹8 crore (rough data).

Occupancy rates tell the same story. The nationwide Hindi occupancy was a modest 8.96% for morning shows on Day 18, with several regions reporting even lower figures. Surprisingly, Chennai reported a high 31% occupancy, suggesting the film still enjoys strong pockets of support.
