Box office: 'Saiyaara' sets record as highest-grossing Bollywood film overseas
"Saiyaara," starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, just set a new record as the top-grossing Bollywood film overseas this year.
Directed by Mohit Suri, it pulled in ₹94 crore internationally within 12 days—overtaking "Chhaava" and showing how much global audiences are loving Bollywood right now.
'Saiyaara' nears ₹300 crore mark in India
Globally, "Saiyaara" has already made ₹413.75 crore in less than two weeks, putting it just behind Mohanlal's "L2: Empuraan" for Indian films abroad.
Back home, it's at ₹273.50 crore and is on track to cross the ₹300 crore mark soon.
The movie follows Krish Kapoor (Panday) and Vaani Batra (Padda) through a story of love and heartbreak—and will stay in the spotlight until August 1 before facing new competition from "Dhadak 2" and "Son of Sardaar 2."
