Bollywood’s romantic musical drama Saiyaara is enjoying a sensational run at the North American box office, having now crossed the $4.5 million mark.
With steady weekday numbers and strong weekend holds, the film is well on track to surpass $5 million in its full theatrical run — a remarkable feat for a non-franchise release.
Starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, Saiyaara has struck a chord with the diaspora audience, particularly younger viewers, thanks to its emotionally resonant storyline and viral soundtrack.
The film’s performance has firmly cemented its status as a huge blockbuster overseas.
With this milestone, Saiyaara is now the second highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2025 in North America, trailing only Chhaava, which currently holds the top spot.
Trade experts say the gap between the two is unlikely to close, but Saiyaara's performance still stands out as one of the most impressive for an original romantic film in recent years.
The film’s overseas success is expected to further boost its chances during the awards season, especially in music and debut categories.
