Will Saiyaara Record The Biggest Opener For A Newcomer Film?

Given the ongoing buzz, Saiyaara seems to have all the potential to become the biggest-opening film for a newcomer. As of now, Janhvi Kapoor-Ishaan Khatter's debut film 'Dhadak' holds the record of being the biggest opener for a debutant. Reportedly, Dhadak had opened to a box office collection of Rs 8.50 cr. And seeing the initial response to the limited pre-sales, Saiyaara might have a double-digit opening, as claimed by several media portals.

According to Cine Hub's Twitter page, Saiyaara aims to have a box office opening of Rs 13-14 cr. The Twitter page wrote in their post, "#Saiyaara is targeting 13-14cr net opening.

The Film has SOLD NEARLY 5000 PIC tickets without any Official Advance Announcement which is HUGE🔥✅
