Is having two new faces leading a film a recipe for disaster? Saiyaara has turned the tables and how! When many big-ticket entertainers struggled to crack the blockbuster code, a mid-scale romantic musical came along to prove that content is king and audience is the kingmaker. Mohit Suri, known for making modern love stories for the big screen, struck the right chord with the young with chartbuster songs, a fresh pairing and a precise trailer cut that retained intrigue and curiosity. Saiyaara might be two days old at the box office, but it has broken the records of many blockbuster films. Before the weekend wraps, the film starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda has scripted history in many ways. While Saiyaara continues its unprecedented run at the box office, let’s take a look at the six records it has broken in two days. Biggest Opening With Debutants The first milestone achieved by Saiyaara was breaking the records of Bollywood films that were headlined by debutants. Ahaan and Aneet’s film surpassed the opening collection of movies starring well-promoted newcomers. Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter’s Dhadak (2018) held the position before Saiyaara released. The Shashank Khaitan directorial took an opening of Rs 8.71 crore. Next in line was Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra’s fan favourite, Student Of The Year. The Karan Johar-helmed campus rom-com did a business of Rs 7.48 crore on the first day in 2012.

Ram Leela and Jab Harry Met Sejal came fourth and fifth on the list with Rs 15.85 crore and Rs 15.25 crore openings. Mohit Suri’s Biggest Opener Mohit Suri’s films have been received well by the audience. Most of them were box office successes. But, Saiyaara became his biggest opener.
