Saiyaara OTT release set for Netflix: The highest-grossing love story in Indian cinema set for online debut

After a record-breaking run at the box office, the romantic drama Saiyaara, featuring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, is now gearing up for its digital premiere on Netflix. 

According to a report by News18, the film — already crowned the highest-grossing love story in Indian cinema — is expected to arrive on OTT around Diwali.

OTT Release Date Likely to Coincide with Diwali

While an official release date has yet to be confirmed, sources suggest that Netflix and the film’s producers are eyeing the festive season for its streaming debut. 

Originally planned to drop a few months after its theatrical release, the film’s overwhelming success — grossing ₹478 crore globally in just over two weeks — has led to an extended cinema run. The final OTT release date will reportedly depend on how long the film continues to perform well in theatres.

If everything goes as planned, Saiyaara could brighten up viewers’ screens during Diwali celebrations.
