Box Office Blast: Mohit Suri’s new film ‘Saiyaara’, a cocktail of love, music, and emotion on the big screen, was released on July 18. Ahaan Pandey and Anette Padda are debuting in this musical romantic drama, whose pairing the audience was very excited to see. So let’s know how the initial journey of ‘Saiyaara’ at the box office was and what the critics and the public are saying!
‘Saiyaara’ dominates the box office!
‘Saiyaara’ has made a bang at the box office. On the very first day, the film broke a record with a collection of ₹21.25 crores, which is truly remarkable! The film is getting a great response from both the audience and critics.
According to initial estimates, ‘Saiyaara’ earned ₹30 crores on Sunday. With this, the total collection of the film in the first two days has crossed the ₹ 40 crore mark. These figures show that ‘Saiyaara’ is making its place in the hearts of the audience!
Story of ‘Saiyaara’: A tale of love, pain and hope
Mohit Suri is known for his emotionally charged love stories, and in ‘Saiyaara’, too, he has attempted to present a story of heartbreak, healing, and hope. The story of the film revolves around Vaani (Annet Padda), who her fiancé abandons. During this time, she meets Krishna (Ahan Pandey), who is a struggling musician.
Both share their pain and dreams, and their relationship flourishes. However, the twist in the story comes when Vaani develops a serious health issue. Will the love of Krishna and Vaani be able to overcome this challenge? This question keeps the audience hooked till the end.
Who won in performance?
Despite being a debut film, Ahan Pandey has brought the character of Krishna to life. His acting shows both rawness and emotion, which will connect you with him. Anette Padda has shown innocence and calm in the role of Vaani. Alam Khan, who plays Kiwi, brings a smile to your face with his comic timing. The rest of the supporting cast, including Varun Badola and Rajesh Kumar, have also played their characters well, which deepens the emotional connect of the film.
Mohit Suri’s magic: Where did the mistake happen?
Like Mohit Suri’s previous films, especially ‘Aashiqui 2’, the music of ‘Saiyaara’ is excellent and the visuals are also very appealing. The songs touch the heart directly and keep you hooked to the film.
However, the depth of Mohit Suri, for which he is known, seems to be missing in direction and writing. At times, the emotional build-up seems a bit hasty, and some plot points do not appear as effective as initially thought. There are some great moments in ‘Saiyaaraa’, but overall the film falls short of the promise that a Mohit Suri film should. It leaves a sweet-bitter memory, not a deep and lasting impact.
So, should you watch ‘Saiyaaraa’?
If you like romantic-musical films and want to see new couples on the big screen, then ‘Saiyaaraa’ can be a good watch for you. The music of the film, the chemistry between Ahaan and Anette and some great emotional scenes make it worth a watch. The film’s good opening at the box office also shows that the audience likes it.
