After a record-breaking theatrical run, Mohit Suri’s romantic drama Saiyaara, starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda and backed by Yash Raj Films, is creating waves once again—this time on Netflix. The film became available for streaming in 190 countries on September 12, leading to a surge in rewatches and renewed fan enthusiasm.
Audiences have taken to social media to celebrate the film’s emotional depth, cinematography, and music. One fan wrote, “Biggest W of #Saiyaara is the music and the emotions resonating through the screen, especially the last 20 mins… Ahaan and Aneet were so good with their acting and their chemistry… Such an all-timer album, especially ‘Humsafar’ and the title track, so beautiful.” Another added, “Finished watching #Saiyaara rn… MAN THE CAMERA WORK WAS CRAZY & cinematography? TOP NOTCH!! Banger album!! The chemistry was intense, obviously, AND Aneet my girl, you have me under your spell.”
Many fans also defended the film against earlier criticism. One wrote, “Funny how some people trashed #Saiyaara just because of a few dumb reels during its theatrical release. Hope they actually sit down and watch it now that it’s on #Netflix.” Another shared, “Weird, but I didn’t even drop a single tear in theatres while watching Saiyaara, but I DID today after the rewatch. The last cricket scene made me cry.”
Saiyaara proved to be a surprise blockbuster, earning over ₹500 crore worldwide and becoming the highest-grossing Indian romantic film in history. The film also launched the careers of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, establishing them as rising stars in Bollywood.
With its emotional storytelling, music, and stunning visuals, the Netflix release is giving fans a chance to experience Saiyaara in the comfort of their homes, further cementing its place as a modern romantic classic.
