Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara is the talk of the country right now. Audiences are raving, and the film fraternity is equally in awe of this romantic drama that has taken the box office by storm. Adding to the accolades, Aamir Khan Productions has now come forward to heap praise on the film, its director, and its debutant stars.
Taking to social media, Aamir Khan Productions shared a heartfelt note that read: “Congratulations to the entire team of Saiyaara on its remarkable theatrical success! Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda shine in their debut with such grace and depth. Mohit Suri brings his signature intensity and passion to the film, and full credit to YRF for championing this melodious and heartfelt story.”
The note has added even more weight to the already buzzing conversation around Saiyaara, a film that blends Mohit Suri’s signature emotional depth with a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack. The romantic saga has struck a chord with viewers who are relishing its old-school narrative of love, heartbreak, and redemption.
Remarkably, Saiyaara has achieved this level of success without any promotional appearances from its lead pair. Mohit Suri deliberately kept the chemistry between newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda under wraps until release, reminiscent of his approach with Aashiqui 2. The gamble seems to have paid off handsomely.
The film has grossed an impressive Rs 131 crore in just five days, surpassing the lifetime collections of several big-budget releases. This box office feat is even more commendable considering the low-key marketing strategy and the fact that both Ahaan and Aneet are relatively new faces in the industry. Ahaan makes his screen debut with Saiyaara, while Aneet, though seen earlier in Big Girls Don’t Cry and Salaam Venky, steps into her first major leading role here.
As word of mouth continues to boost its reach, Saiyaara is enjoying an uninterrupted theatrical run. With Son of Sardaar 2 moving its release to August, the romantic drama now has a clear window to further strengthen its box office position.
Bolstered by strong performances, heartfelt storytelling, and a soul-stirring soundtrack, Saiyaara is fast emerging as one of the most-loved films of the year — and with praise now coming from stalwarts like Aamir Khan, its legacy is only just beginning.
