Saiyaara Movie Review: Ahaan Panday And Aneet Padda Shine In Mohit Suri’s Soulful Romantic Saga

Not every time, we talk about the film that tosses up all the predictions. A month before, there was not much hype for the film Saiyaara. But today, Saiyaara is releasing and has the second biggest advance booking for 2025. The buzz around Saiyaara is louder than ever — and the numbers prove it. Produced by Akshaye Widhani and directed by Mohit Suri, this romantic drama starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda is defying all the usual box office rules for a non-holiday, non-franchise release. Saiyaara is the best romantic saga in recent times, and it has Blockbuster written all over it.

Saiyaara Review

Mohit Suri is a master of making soulful movies. He returns with a bang, and Saiyaara proves he’s still the master of emotionally charged romantic dramas. He has delivered films like Awarapan, Murder 2, Aashiqui 2, Ek Villain, and Malang. The one thing common to all the films is their soulful music. Saiyaara is no different. The film is an immersive mix of love, heartbreak, music, and moments that tug hard at your heartstrings. Mohit Suri, you have weaved magic again.

This is not your regular love story. Saiyaara dares to tread new emotional territory while staying rooted in classic romantic storytelling. The screenplay is sharp, dialogues are beautifully written, and the emotional progression is handled with such grace—it never feels forced or overdone. The film’s visual style is rich and intimate, perfectly complementing its emotional undercurrents. It grabs you right from the start and doesn’t let go till the final frame. The first half is filled with love, romance, and music. The second half has an emotional touch, and of course, the songs.

 

Saiyaara Performances

Ahaan Panday makes one of the strongest debuts in recent memory! His screen presence is magnetic, and the emotional depth he delivers, especially in breakdown scenes, feels so raw, so real. This is not just a debut; this is the arrival of a star. The performance does not look like a newcomer; in fact, he looks like a mature actor.

Aneet Padda is equally brilliant. She is charming, innocent, elegant, and sensational. There’s something so effortless about her performance—radiant, soulful, and heartbreakingly real. Her arc, especially post-tragedy, is handled with poise and power. She owns the screen and your emotions. Other casts, Varun Badola, Geeta Agrawal, and Rajesh Kumar, played their part well.

The chemistry between Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda is the highlight of the film. Ahaan and Aneet light up the screen together. Their bond feels genuine, making every romantic beat land beautifully. If their chemistry is the heart of the film, the songs are the soul of Saiyaara. Soulful beyond words. The music by Sachet-Parampara, Tanishk Bagchi, Rishabh Kant, Mithoon, Vishal Mishra, Faheem Abdullah, and Arslan Nisami is already a superhit. The title track is already a rage, Barbaad is another melodious track from the film, and of course, Dhun will slowly enter your veins. Every song blends perfectly into the narrative. It’s not just a soundtrack—it’s the heartbeat of the film. The background music equally elevates the film.
