CAN FILM WITH BOLLYWOOD STAR KID BEAT SALMAN-AKSHAY'S RELEASES?

Social media users have been wondering if a film starring debutants can perform better than projects featuring Bollywood heartthrobs like Salman and Akshay. While Sikandar struggled at the box office despite a solid start, Housefull 5 earned decent moolah, and recovered its budget.

Wondering what's the buzz all about? It all started when a verified X handle mentioned that Saiyaara, starring Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda, can garner more numbers thatn Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar's recent releases.

The tweet read, "#Saiyaara is aiming 20-22cr net Opening in India and may even go higher. It is one the verge of recording 2nd Biggest Collection of the year after #Chhaava beating Salman Khan 's #Sikandar and Akshay Kumar 's #Housefull5 (sic)."

SAIYAARA FILM BOX OFFICE COLLECTION TO BE DECENT BUT CAN IT BEAT BIGGIES?

So, does the tweet hold any substance or it has no link to reality? Filmibeat contacted a reliable source to know more about the same.

"Saiyaara has the potential to cross the double-digit mark on the opening day; however, it cannot beat the collections of Housefull 5 and Sikandar. There's no chance that the romantic drama would earne over Rs 20 crore. While the two newcomers have created buzz with their sizzling chemistry, YRF's strategy has left many puzzled. From discounted ticket prices (50% offer) to lack of media interactions, the production house has opted for a different promotional strategy. Both Housefull 5 and Sikandar minted over Rs 20 crore on the first day. There's no way Saiyaara is beating them," an industry source, on condition of anomynity, told Filmibeat.

We also fact-checked the opening day box office collection of Sikandar and Housefull, verifying the data from Sacnilk. According to the website, Sikandar minted a net box office collection of Rs 26 crore, while Housefull 5 collected Rs 24 crore on the first day.

Saiyaara, which has been directed by Mohit Suri, releases on July 18, 2025.
