Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda starrer Saiyaara receives praise after OTT release, netizens say, "It was a refreshing love story"

Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer Saiyaara has become a national sensation. The film broke all the box office records and is now set to rule over the streaming giant.

The film has arrived on the OTT platform, and fans who were unable to see the film in theatres can now watch it at any time. Several viewers have already fallen in love with Saiyaara. Additionally, several new viewers have defended the romantic movie amid the previous criticism brought on by viral videos of fans sobbing in theatres.

Several viewers shared their reviews on X (formerly Twitter). They believed that the film deserved all of the praise and that the "Saiyaara-bashing" was superfluous.

One person wrote, “Really loved the movie to be honest. It had its moments and it's real good. Little bit stretched at some moments and sometimes at bit fast at transitioning moments. Overall it's a good weekend watch. But not that I will regret not watching it in theatres.”

Another added, “Honestly, I was a bit judgmental about all the hype around #Saiyaara. I thought it was just noise. But after watching it today, I get it. The film really touched my heart. 1/2.”
