Trade analyst on Saiyaara's box office collection
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to the social media platform X to talk about the film’s success. “300 CR? 400 CR? OR MORE? – ‘SAIYAARA’ IS ON A RECORD-SMASHING SPREE… #Saiyaara is rewriting the rules of the game… At this stage, no one can confidently predict where its lifetime total will land.”
He added, “The pace at which #Saiyaara is soaring – day after day – is incredible… The film has collected Rs 20 cr+ for the sixth consecutive day on Wednesday – a truly unprecedented feat for a film starring debutants. The film has crossed Rs 150 cr in just 6 days and is on track to close Week 1 at around Rs 175 cr – a monumental achievement… With no major competition this Friday, #Saiyaara is sure to post a massive number in Weekend 2 as well.”
Adarsh concluded his post with a question on every industry watcher’s mind. “₹200 cr will be crossed comfortably before Weekend 2 concludes, and with ₹300 cr well within reach, the big question now is: Can #Saiyaara hit ₹400 cr?”
