More About ‘Saiyaara’
‘Saiyaara’ is the love story of Krish Kapoor (Ahaan Panday), an aspiring singer, and Vaani Batra (Aneet Padda), a gifted writer. The film explores their emotional journey through love, heartbreak, and sacrifice, and has resonated with audiences since its release.
The opening weekend saw a modest but positive performance at the box office, bolstered by praise from several industry veterans.
While Suri is no stranger to helming emotionally intense stories — with credits including ‘Aashiqui 2’ and ‘Ek Villain’ — Saiyaara appears to have struck a particularly personal chord. The emotional farewell highlights the passion and dedication the filmmaker poured into the project.
‘Saiyaara’ released in theatres on July 18.
