Saiyaara beats Housefull 5 & Raid 2 advance booking:
Debutant Ahaan Panday’s upcoming romantic drama Saiyaara is turning out to be a surprise box office storm even before its release. The film, also starring newcomer Aneet Padda, has stunned trade experts by clocking record-breaking advance ticket sales.
Mohit Suri's directorial has sold over 1,00,000 tickets in advance bookings—with a full day still remaining before release. This remarkable figure has pushed it ahead of big-banner films like Ajay Devgn’s Raid 2 (93,000 tickets) and Akshay Kumar’s Housefull 5 (90,000 tickets) in terms of pre-release hype and sales.

What’s most surprising is that both Raid 2 and Housefull 5 featured top Bollywood stars with strong fan bases, while Saiyaara is led by newcomers. This unexpected success has left many in the industry amazed at the growing popularity and buzz around the film. Some believe the soulful music, fresh romantic appeal, and Suri's Aashiqui 2 type elements have worked in its favour.
Ahaan Panday, cousin of actress Ananya Panday, is making his big Bollywood debut with this film. Aneet Padda, too, is stepping into the spotlight, and both have managed to grab youth attention with their on-screen chemistry and viral music videos.
