Mohit Suri’s ‘Saiyaara’ Outpaces Hrithik-Jr NTR’s ‘War 2’ in BMS Interest Count
In a surprising twist that’s caught the industry’s attention, the romantic musical Saiyaara has surpassed the much-anticipated action thriller War 2 in BookMyShow’s interest meter. As per the latest data on the platform, Saiyaara has clocked 227.2K “Interested” counts, overtaking War 2, which currently stands at 170.9K, despite starring big names like Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR.
While War 2 is part of YRF’s ambitious spy universe and is scheduled for an Independence Day weekend release on August 14, 2025, Saiyaara, led by debutant male and female actors, arrives earlier on July 18, 2025. A sweeping tale of heartbreak, healing, and love, Saiyaara appears to be striking a strong emotional chord with audiences, especially among younger demographics.

Is ‘Saiyaara’ the Dark Horse of 2025?
With no established star power fronting the film and a relatively low-key promotional rollout, Saiyaara’s lead in pre-release buzz is being viewed as a potential game-changer. The film on a “Mohit Suri” or “Aashiqui” template is being described as an “intense love story that will break your heart and heal it too,” and seems to have ignited organic curiosity through word of mouth and trailer reactions alone.
Meanwhile, another Yash Raj Film, War 2, has franchise value and action-packed premise. The film continues the story of Agent Kabir, with high-stakes espionage and spectacle, and marks the much-awaited face-off between Hrithik Roshan’s Kabir and Jr NTR’s new character.
The final box office verdict will, of course, depend on content and audience reception. But if BMS interest is anything to go by, the tide may be turning in favour of fresh faces and heartfelt stories too.
