Ever since its release this Friday, Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara has been generating a lot of hype.
In just three days, the film has collected around ₹83.25 crore at the box office, leaving many impressed.
The movie is gaining attention for both its emotional theme and its music. Audiences, especially young adults, are flocking to theatres to watch this love story.
However, what has truly shocked people are reports of audience members fainting, crying, sobbing, and indulging in all sorts of bizarre behavior inside theatres.
There’s no doubt that the ending of Saiyaara is very emotional and bound to make many tear up or even cry.
But the behavior of some audience members, captured in videos now going viral on social media, is so over-the-top that it borders on comical.
Some viewers are seen fainting, others dancing in front of the screen. Couples are lifting each other in joy, while some are simply creating chaos.
Many on social media have called out this behavior, claiming it’s all for reels and social media reach.
Others added that friend groups watching the film together often exaggerate their reactions just to show off online.
It’s concerning that people would go to such lengths purely for attention.
On one hand, it’s been a while since a film has moved audiences so deeply. On the other, this kind of attention-seeking behavior is problematic.
There are other people watching the film too, and such actions could make them uncomfortable.
While expressing your emotions is perfectly normal, it’s also important to remember that a certain level of decorum should be maintained in a public space.
