Ahaan Pandey, Aneet Padda's Saiyaara Hits 300 Crore India Net; Beats Salman Khan's Sultan and Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone's Padmaavat

Mumbai, August 5 - Yash Raj Films' romantic blockbuster Saiyaara, starring debutantes Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda, has achieved a historic milestone by crossing 300 crores net collection at the domestic box office, becoming the first Indian love story to enter the coveted club. ## Directed by Mohit Suri, the film has achieved the milestone on its 18th day (third Monday) with an approximate collection of 2.50 crores. This pushed the film's total India net to around 302.25 crores. With this feat, Saiyaara has now become the 18th Hindi-language film to cross 300 crores net in India.## Saiyaara has surpassed the lifetime India net collections of superstar Salman Khan's Sultan (300.45 crores) and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's epic Padmaavat (302.15 crores), which featured Shahid Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, and Deepika Padukone. On its 19th day, it will go past War 2 (303.34 crores), starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff, to become the 15th biggest Hindi net grosser of all time. ## Despite its phenomenal success, Saiyaara has seen a dip in momentum due to the release of new films and the ongoing dominance of the animated epic Mahavatar Narsimha. These factors have led to a reduction in its show count, making its entry into the 400 crore club highly unlikely. However, the film still has an outside chance of finishing with over 350 crores net in India. ## If Saiyaara does manage to touch or cross the 350 crore mark, it will solidify its place as the 11th biggest Hindi net-grosser ever — a landmark achievement for a film led by two newcomers and driven by youthful romance. The success story of Saiyaara is not only a major box office triumph for YRF but also a significant turning point for fresh talent in Bollywood. ## Stay tuned...

Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Vicky Kaushal's 'Love and War' To Be Delayed

Mumbai, April 22 - Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's epic romantic drama Love & War might be delayed from its original March 2026 release. The film starring Bollywood stars Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Vicky Kaushal is currently under production. ## The shoot of Love & War kicked off last year, and the makers announced a March 20, 2026, release.
