Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri and starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda is all set to hit theatres on 18th July, 2025, that is in just under two days. The film's advance bookings are unprecedented and the film is set to surprise everyone with its opening day. There are very few films that are hits before the release, considering the budget and the advance bookings. Saiyaara seems like that film. If the film gains acceptance, the lead actors of the movie will become stars.

Saiyaara Releases In 1750 Screens Across India

Saiyaara is releasing in 1750 screens across India. Going by the advances, the makers may contemplate on a wider release, but as things stand, it releases on 1750 screens. At the time of this article, the movie has sold over 60,000 tickets in top national chains like PVRInox and Cinepolis. A final presale in the vicinity of 1,50,000 can't be discounted at this point because the Mohit Suri movie has managed to create the necessary pre-release hype; and hyped films create their own path. The music of the film has worked and there is intrigue around the newcomers as well.

The bookings outside the top national chains are also incredible. A chain like Moviemax has sold over 3,000 tickets and single screens across India are also fast-filling.
