In comparison, Kabir Singh, which also enjoyed a successful debut, collected Rs 70.83 crore in its first weekend with Rs 20.21 crore on Friday, Rs 22.71 crore on Saturday, and Rs 27.91 crore on Sunday. Saiyaara's superior numbers signal strong audience reception and position it as one of the biggest openers in recent times

'Saiyaara' is on its way to a blockbuster run at the ticket window. It's been years since a true blue Bollywood love story took over the screens, entertained the masses, and recorded terrific numbers.

The YRF film is changing all of that, setting new benchmarks for the entire film industry to follow, and offering a wonderful time to the audience in theatres.

The film's music has already crawled up the chartbusters list, and as 'Saiyaara' enters its first week today, more records are expected to be broken at the box office.
