A dream run faces a dip
‘Saiyaara’ opened with a bang and kept winning hearts week after week. But now, on its 19th day, the film has started to slow down. According to early estimates from Sacnilk, the film collected Rs 2.50 crore on its third Tuesday. Though this was slightly more than what it earned on Day 18 (Rs 2.35 crore), the signs of a fall in collections are clearly visible. After such a strong performance, this slowdown marks the start of a natural decline.
Occupancy day 19
Even though the collections dipped, ‘Saiyaara’ still recorded a fairly decent Hindi occupancy of 23.30% on Tuesday, 5 August 2025. The audience turnout increased steadily throughout the day, starting with 13.45% during the morning shows, rising to 22.45% in the afternoon, followed by 25.34% in the evening, and peaking at 31.96% during the night shows.

New films bring fresh challenge
As ‘Saiyaara’ enters its third week, fresh releases have begun to take away some of its shine. ‘Mahavtar Narsimha’, which released on 25 July, quickly picked up thanks to positive word of mouth. On Friday, 1 August, two more big films hit the cinemas, adding to the growing competition at the box office. ‘Son Of Sardaar 2’, starring Ajay Devgn and Mrunal thakurcollected Rs 2.50 crore on Tuesday, taking its total to Rs 29.60 crore. Meanwhile, ‘Dhadak 2’, featuring Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri, earned Rs 1.60 crore on the same day, bringing its overall collection to Rs 14.35 crore.
What’s next for ‘Saiyaara’?
While ‘Saiyaara’ has had a record-breaking run, its performance in the coming days will decide how much higher it can go. With a total of over Rs 304 crore, it has already achieved something massive. The film now has limited time before the release of ‘War 2’ on 14 August, which stars Hrithik roshanJr NTR, and Kiara Advani. That film has high expectations at the box office, so ‘Saiyaara’ will need to make the most of the days it has left.
