Bollywood comes alive again with Saiyaara, Mohit Suri’s musical-romantic drama released on July 18, 2025, under Yash Raj Films. The film stars newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, both delivering heartfelt performances that critics and audiences are praising.

The narrative follows Krish, a brooding singer-songwriter (Panday), and Vaani, a diary-writing poet (Padda), entwined in an emotional journey filled with love, heartbreak, and soulful music. While the plot treads familiar Mohit Suri territory—think Aashiqui 2—new energy brings a fresh feel. Critics note pacing flaws and dialogue-heavy stretches, but agree the leads’ chemistry compensates.

The soundtrack, boasting seven composers and memorable tracks like “Saiyaara” and “Barbaad,” is a standout, with audiences humming along in theatres. Early reviews on X and Hindustan Times call it a ‘stellar comeback’ for Suri, praising the emotional depth and musical craft.

Box office opening is strong: ₹10+ crore by Friday afternoon with over 90,000 advance tickets sold—a remarkable feat for a debutant film.
