Movie Review: Thank You For Coming - 3.5/5

Mohit Suri's film *Saiyaara*, starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has become the **3rd biggest Indian hit at the North American box office in 2025**, crossing over **$6 million in earnings** there[3]. This romantic drama, despite lacking big Bollywood stars, opened strongly and sustained momentum, reaching $1 million in four days and $3 million by day 10, demonstrating exceptional staying power in a competitive market[1][3]. It ranks just behind *Chhaava* ($6.4 million) and Rajinikanth's *Coolie* ($6.22 million) in North America, making it the third highest-grossing Indian film of the year in this region[3]. In India, *Saiyaara* also achieved remarkable success, grossing over **₹304.6 crore in 19 days** and becoming one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of 2025[10]. It surpassed major star-driven films like Akshay Kumar's *Kesari 2* and Sunny Deol's *Jaat* to become the 7th highest-grossing Hindi film of the year within its first four days, with earnings of ₹105.75 crore early on[2]. By 13 days, the film reached ₹273.5 crore, surpassing big titles such as *RRR* (Hindi version) and *Dhoom 3*, ranking as the 22nd highest-grossing Hindi film of all time[4]. It also crossed ₹248.43 crore in just 10 days, overtaking Shah Rukh Khan's *Dunki* and Ajay Devgn's *Singham Again* at the domestic box office[6]. The film's success is attributed to strong storytelling, a musical score, and positive word-of-mouth, marking a significant directorial success for Mohit Suri and a strong launch platform for the lead newcomers[4][6]. It is considered the most profitable Indian film of 2025, delivering over 450% returns on its modest budget of approximately ₹45 crore[5]. Overall, *Saiyaara* stands out as a rare romantic drama in an era dominated by action and franchise films, setting new benchmarks both domestically and overseas, particularly in North America[3][11].
