Saiyaara Sizzles in Advance Booking, Poised for Box Office Glory

Saiyaara, the highly anticipated romantic drama starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, is off to a flying start in its advance booking at the Indian box office. The film, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Mohit Suri, has managed to sell around 31,500 tickets for its opening day, a remarkable achievement considering the lead actors are making their big-screen debuts.

Suri, known for his intense love stories like Awarapan, Aashiqui 2, and Ek Villain, has generated significant hype among the youth, especially college-going students, with the trailer and music of Saiyaara. The makers have also played a smart move by offering big discounts on movie tickets for the opening day, further boosting the film's pre-release buzz.

With the current pace of advance bookings, Saiyaara is expected to overtake Akshay Kumar's Kesari Chapter 2, which had sold tickets worth ₹1.84 crore gross for its opening day. The romantic drama is poised to cross the ₹2 crore mark in pre-sales, a remarkable feat for a newcomer-led project. As the film gears up for its release on July 18, the strong advance booking suggests Saiyaara is set to captivate audiences and potentially emerge as a box office winner.
