What to Watch on OTT

Sensation or Cringe? Saiyaara’s OTT Fate in Doubt?

Mohit Suri’s love story Saiyaara grossed over 575 crores worldwide, making it the highest-grossing Indian romantic film of 2025. After its record-breaking theatrical run, the film is now gearing up for a digital release.

Starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, the romantic drama released on July 18 and continues to run in some theatres and multiplexes. Critics gave it decent reviews, but audiences showed immense love, keeping the film alive for weeks.

Saiyaara will premiere on Netflix on September 12. While it could create another wave digitally, many predict that it might face trolling on OTT despite its massive theatrical success.

Some viewers argued that the film was cringeworthy, with an average storyline and performances. However, hopeless romantics turned it into a blockbuster, which may not translate the same way on Netflix.

It is too early to predict the final reception. Still, all eyes are on whether Saiyaara will repeat its box office magic or face criticism on OTT when it drops on 12th September.
