Saiyaara

Normal love story , nothing new about story , nice acting , ok songs not that good , overhyped.i have heard so many more beautiful songs , this song are not even in comparison. Idk what hype is about and how people are reacting in theatre, only very little of movie of relatable. It's a just a teenager audience movie, unreal story and my experience was okish, I would to watch laila majnu anyday but not this . If this movie was about songs and music then atleast they should have better songs , only focus was on the word saiyaara in songs. The hype is unreal and proper PR stunt u think so . So it's a one time watch.

The movie at major parts is adapted from the Korean movie, A moment to remember. Many scenes are copied exactly. The story isn't fresh, but the leads have acted beautifully. Both the leads have done a great job and are immensely talented.

Since the original movie is very close to my heart and one of my favourites, felt a little thrown back watching this one. It would have been better if credits were well in advance given to the original.

Both the actors handled their roles very well which has added charm and made the scenes look more genuine. A beautiful one time watch for romantic comedy lovers.

Saiyaara , feels like a nostalgic yet fresh dive into Bollywood romance that hits you right in the feels. The story follows Krish, a fiery, ambitious musician, and Vaani, a shy lyricist recovering from heartbreak. The chemistry of lead pair, built through soulful songwriting sessions and raw emotional moments, is the heart of the film. The music is a standout, with tracks like Humsafar and Barbaad weaving seamlessly into the story, amplifying every emotional beat. The visuals rain-soaked streets, moody studios, and tender close-ups create a cinematic vibe that's both gritty and poetic. Both debutant did very good job.

Romantic drama enthusiasts especially fans of Mohit Suri's signature style like Aashiqui 2 or Ek Villain will adore the emotional intensity and music-driven storytelling. It might not click for those who prefer fast-paced plots or dislike predictable arcs. Overall something fresh for young audience after long time.

Saiyaraa comes across as a heartfelt yet heavily inspired romantic drama that feels like a cinematic blend of three well-known films across different languages. The emotional journey of the male lead becoming a superstar after losing his love strongly mirrors Rockstar (2011), where grief fuels creative brilliance. A major part of the story unfolds in a remote, serene location reminiscent of Shankar's I (2015), suggesting the characters' need for escape and transformation. But the most striking parallel is with 50 First Dates (2004), where the female lead suffers from Alzheimer's-like memory loss, forgetting the hero each day, while he patiently reminds her of their bond - a direct emotional echo of Henry and Lucy's story. While Saiyaraa succeeds in delivering powerful performances, beautiful visuals, and a touching storyline, its lack of originality is hard to ignore. The film, though emotionally moving, seems more like a curated homage to its cinematic predecessors than a standalone masterpiece.

Mohit Suri consistently gets one thing right in his filmography, which is the music. The tracks in his films are raw, fresh, and deeply resonant, setting a benchmark for what good Bollywood music should sound like. With Saiyaara, he taps into the craze of young love among Gen Z and Millennials, bringing something new to the table, at least musically.

The story follows Krish Kapoor, a hot-headed, debt-ridden musician with an alcoholic father who lashes out at a critic for nepotism and for failing to recognize fresh talent. Vaani Batra is a writer aspired to great things, whose mannerism doesn't click with Krrish when they cross paths.

They fall in love, but with Vaani's past story and a health issue that breaks them apart, it becomes short-lived, but how Krrish gets Vaani back is what this film is about, as well as rising from glory to fame.

In all honesty, because of Ahaan's debut, there was something in the gut of the audience that made them hate this film due to the industry's liking to promoting star kids, and it wasn't a great film, but it had elements that made it watchable.

The first half of the film was a good introduction to Krrish and Vaani's roles in the film, and Mohit Suri manages to maintain that. The problem lies in the second half when Vaani's fate turns the tables.

It was far-fetched, and the context of Alzheimer's that Vaani had in the film was out of line and very illogical. The ending, luckily, was predictable and straightforward, but it was a happy ending, as always.

Mohit Suri is usually known for working with Emraan Hashmi, and although the narrative falters, the music manages to keep things afloat. The most OG films were Awarapan & Ek Villain, which were underrated. This time, he introduced a more recent generational take on a love story, and he did a decent job at it, but it still has minor flaws.

The acting was decent, as Aneet Padda, in my opinion, was the only one who shone in her debut in her complex role as Vaani. She was very nuanced and original. Ahaan Pandey was good in parts, and the aggression scene and the climax were rushed.

Music stood out as usual in a Mohit Suri-directed film. The album's highlights for me were Saiyaara, Dhun, & Humsafar. They resonated with what a romantic drama film should be.

Overall, great music and a decent first half, but the dialogues & second half falter for sure. Best to check this out on an OTT. But this film will do better thanks to YRF's new strategy of not doing heavy marketing and overhyping it.
