Saiyaara box office collection day 1: Acclaimed filmmaker Mohit Suri makes a grand comeback to direction after a long three-year hiatus with the much-awaited Hindi romantic drama “Saiyaara,” after last being seen in 2022’s psychological action thriller “Ek Villain Returns.” The film received immensely positive reviews from the critics and moviegoers, especially for its impressive direction, powerful dialogues, gripping screenplay, & beautifully handled emotional graph. From the initial buzz, it made a handsome advance booking of Rs 9.39 Cr gross after selling over 3.80 Lakh tickets, which fueled the opening figure, resulting in it beginning its box office journey on a phenomenal note of Rs 20 Cr+ net in India.

The veteran film critic and business analyst Taran Adarsh took to the X handle and analysed the figure and wrote:
No franchise power.
No A-listers or popular stars.
