đŹ The Story that Tugs at Heartstrings
Saiyaara is not just a filmâit's an emotional ballad wrapped in a poetic journey of two broken souls healing through the language of music and love.
Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday), a gifted but emotionally scarred musician, crosses paths with Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda), a reclusive poet with a painful past. Their connection is born through music, deepened by vulnerability, and challenged by Vaaniâs devastating early-onset Alzheimer's diagnosis.
As Vaani slowly begins to forget, Krish clings to their shared memories and the one song that defines their bondââSaiyaara.â When Vaani vanishes, the song becomes his only hope of reaching her once again. The filmâs final actâset against the grand backdrop of Wembley Stadiumâdelivers a satisfying, emotional payoff that solidifies Saiyaara as a romantic classic in the making.
đ Performances that Shine
Ahaan Panday makes a stunning debut as Krish Kapoor, embodying vulnerability, chaos, and passion in equal measure. His portrayal is emotionally rich and mature beyond his years.
Aneet Padda delivers a beautifully restrained performance as Vaani. Her subtle transformationâfrom guarded and quiet to emotionally rawâgrounds the film with authentic pathos.
Anngad Raaj and Shaad Randhawa lend solid support, while Geeta Agarwal and Varun Badola provide emotional depth as the protagonists' parents.
đŒ Music: The Soul of Saiyaara
With a title track thatâs already topping charts, Saiyaaraâs soundtrack is both emotionally evocative and commercially impactful. The music, composed with deep feeling, seamlessly supports the narrative while elevating each key momentâespecially during Vaaniâs gradual memory loss and the Wembley finale.
đž Box Office: A Record-Breaking Debut
Opening Day:Â âč28.75 crore (Worldwide)
Total Gross (so far):Â âč60.89 crore
Budget:Â âč60 crore
Despite being led by a debutant, Saiyaara delivered a massive opening, becoming the highest-grossing Day 1 collection for a Hindi film featuring a male debutant lead. Positive word-of-mouth, emotional storytelling, and a soulful soundtrack contributed to packed theatres and houseful shows across metros and tier-2 cities.
đ§ Critical Review: Emotional, Artistic & Refreshing
What works:
Emotionally resonant storytelling
Powerful performances from a fresh cast
Gorgeous cinematography and musical direction
Poignant depiction of Alzheimerâs and loveâs resilience
What could be better:
A slightly trimmed second half could have tightened the narrative
Some melodramatic moments feel overdone in the climax
đ„ Where to Watch & Stream in the Future
Currently running in theatres across India and globally, Saiyaara is expected to stream exclusively on Prime Video post its theatrical run. The digital release is likely to happen by September or October 2025, although no official date has been announced yet.
đŹ Final Verdict: 4/5 â
Saiyaara is a tender, melodic, and visually rich cinematic experience that defies expectations. With a breakout performance by Ahaan Panday and an unforgettable soundtrack, the film speaks to the soul while pulling at the heartstrings. For fans of emotionally deep romances like Aashiqui 2 and Tamasha, this is one story not to be missed.
