The film received praise from critics for its performances and tone. The music was also well-received, with the title song becoming a chartbuster globally and entering the Billboard Hot 200 chart in the top 10.

Saiyaara earned Rs 329 crore net in India, surpassing even films like Ek Tha Tiger, and ended up with a worldwide gross of Rs 570 crore.
