Saiyaara Box Office Collections Day 1: Ahaan Panday (the cousin of Ananya Panday) and newcomer Aneet Padda made their first appearance in Saiyaara, which is a romantic drama that opened at the box office with thunderous roars. The film raked in a whopping ₹20 crores on Day 01, making it the biggest opening of a film featuring debutants from film families in recent times. Indeed, the term ‘nepokid drama’ has returned to the soundtracks, but the audience is evidently loving the ride this time.
Many skeptics were expecting the launch of another star kid to create familiar buzz around him, given that Ahaan came in under the auspices of Yash Raj Films and the direction of Aditya Chopra. But Saiyaara has positively risen above the label. Both Ahaan and Aneet have been remarkably appreciated for their portrayed natural presence on-screen. This has brought the emotional love saga, the mythos of college nostalgia, and the Vishal-Shekhar’s melodious soundtracks onboard as nominees for audience acceptance.
The contentions sparked online from the film about bringing yet another ‘nepokid’ on board, but positive word-of-mouth soon changed the tune. #Saiyaara and #AhaanPanday trended all day across social platforms, as many praised the film for its emotive draw and visual appeal.

Strategic marketing and high production quality coupled with the YRF name gave Saiyaara the edge in attracting the young audience across multiplexes. The film is more than just a launch vehicle. It’s a relatable story of first love and the pain of losing it, which definitely resonated with its audience.
It began with ₹20 crores on Day 1. It may be born as a “nepokid drama,” but it is rapidly emerging to be other than that. If this galloping pace continues, it just might stand as the romantic hit of the year and bury, at least for a time, the very hotly debated issue of nepotism.
