Saiyaara fan watches the film with IV drip

Director Mohit Suri’s latest cinematic offering, Saiyaara, starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has taken the Indian film indzustry by storm.

Known for his emotionally charged narratives, Suri has once again struck a chord with audiences, crafting a story that echoes the haunting romance of his earlier successes like Aashiqui 2. What sets Saiyaara apart is its unfiltered portrayal of love, loss, and emotional vulnerability — themes that have deeply resonated with moviegoers across the country.

The film’s impact has gone far beyond critical acclaim and box office success; it has evoked visceral reactions from fans, sparking conversations online and off. One of the most striking examples of this emotional connection surfaced in the form of a viral video circulating on social media.

The footage shows a young fan, Faisal — who also identifies as an artist — watching Saiyaara in a cinema while connected to an IV drip. The video captures him visibly moved by the film, sitting alongside a friend as tears stream down his face.

His gesture has drawn mixed reactions across the internet. While some expressed genuine concern for his health, urging him to prioritise recovery, others couldn’t help but marvel at his unwavering dedication to the film.

“Bhai bimar h tu Allah ko yaad kar, Saiyaara se kaam na chale,” one user commented, questioning the fan’s priorities. Another remarked, “Itni dedication? Hospital se uth kar film dekhne aa gaya?” highlighting the intensity of the fan’s commitment.

Despite the divided opinions, there is no denying that Saiyaara has become more than just a film — it has become a cultural phenomenon. In just three days, the film has amassed a staggering Rs 83 crore nett at the domestic box office, with rs 37 crore collected on Sunday alone — its highest single-day collection to date. It is well on its way to crossing the Rs 100-crore milestone, a feat made even more impressive by the absence of heavy pre-release marketing.

The overwhelming response from both critics and audiences underscores the timeless power of heartfelt storytelling. With Saiyaara, Mohit Suri has not only launched two promising actors but also reignited Bollywood’s romance with raw, emotional cinema.
