Given the film’s strong first-week performance and the delay of Ajay Devgn and Mrunal Thakur’s Son of Sardaar 2 to August 1st, expectations were high for Saiyaara‘s second week—and it delivered. The film raked in nearly ₹75 crore over its second weekend. While collections dipped slightly on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, as expected, it still posted solid figures of ₹9.25 crore, ₹10 crore, and ₹7 crore (early estimates), respectively. This pushed the film’s total box office haul to ₹273.50 crore, surpassing the Hindi version of SS Rajamouli’s RRR (₹272.78 crore) and Aamir Khan’s Dhoom 3 (₹271.07 crore).
