Saiyaara is a film that comes with a great reminiscence of the musical-romance film Aashiqui 2. Starring fresh faces Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, the direction of Mohit Suri gives it an edge that has made it surpass some past records.
Saiyaara was not on the watch-out-for charts of any big trade analyst or film critic but its pre-bookings have come as a surprise. It has easily overtaken many big Bollywood debuts like Kaho Na Pyaar Hai, Refugee and others; fans are witnessing a BO event that has not happened in 25 years.
Experts and fans were expecting it to be an average nepo-kid launch that would gross around 5 crore rupees but now a 20 crore rupees opening is very much on the cards for this film. In advance booking it is battling head-on with some recent releases like SZP, Housefull 5, Raid 2 and is soon expected to beat Sikandar.
There is still a 12 hour window for the film’s release and booking will majorly increase at this point. Critics and analysts are now turning their verdicts and trying to reason out its hype.
Clearly, the appeal of a Mohit Suri romantic-drama is big amongst fans and is reflected in the craze for Saiyaara. They have missed such a wholesome emotional-rollercoaster film at the big screens.
