Ahaan Panday’s much-awaited debut film Saiyaara released theatrically on July 18 and has been met with a wave of positive early reactions from fans on social media. The film, which marks the launch of both Ahaan Panday and actress Aneet Padda, is directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Akshaye Widhani under Yash Raj Films.
Described as a musical love story, Saiyaara features Ahaan as an aspiring singer and Aneet as a budding songwriter. The film’s emotional intensity, music, and visual storytelling have drawn several comparisons to Suri’s earlier hit, Aashiqui 2. Many X (formerly Twitter) users have praised the film’s soundtrack, chemistry between the leads, and overall cinematic quality.
One user commented, “Emotionally charged love stories, memorable music, and strong chemistry between newcomers — Saiyaara is very much worth watching. But if you’re seeking a novel plot or a completely fresh cinematic experience, parts of its storyline may feel too familiar.”
Another viewer shared a glimpse of the interval scene from the theatre and wrote, “Saiyaara review… Just watched & wow. A simple story told beautifully. 1st half starts slow, builds the bond, and 2nd half breaks you (in a good way). Ahaan Panday stuns with his debut apart from the accent. Aneet Padda is impressive. Music on the big screen elevates it to another level.”
Audiences were also quick to appreciate the film’s technical finesse. One post read, “Saiyaara Review: First half good. Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda are too good. Beautiful music, cinematography, production value, screenplay. Hope 2nd half maintains the same pace.”
Aneet Padda recently penned an emotional note on Instagram, expressing her gratitude to director Mohit Suri for believing in her.
With its soulful music and emotionally gripping narrative, Saiyaara appears to be making a strong impact, especially among fans of classic romantic dramas.
