For Saiyaara to emerge as the biggest opener in the love story genre is an incredible feat, mainly because it features two newcomers, who are yet to leave a mark. The audiences in the post-pandemic world, don't turn up till they are enticed by the film's units. They surely were enamoured by the pre-release units like the songs, the teaser and the trailer of Saiyaara, which is resulting in this unprecedented response. Still, nothing explains it emerging as the number one film in the love story genre.

In terms of first day footfalls, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani still has the highest footfalls from films in this list. Infact, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani's gross collections are higher than Saiyaara, as back in 2013, tax rates were close to 30 percent and now they are around 20 percent.

Saiyaara's bookings for day 2 are strong and another Rs 20 crore plus day is on the cards. Infact, there won't be any surprise if it comes close to Rs 25 crore net too. In short, the film is a box office hurricane which won't stop soon.
