Review by India Forums

With Saiyaara, Mohit Suri has not just made a film. He has made a statement. That love stories still matter. That feelings still matter. That sincerity, when crafted with care, will always outlast spectacle. He has made a film that reminds you of his earliest strengths but also shows how much he has grown as a storyteller. In Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, he has found collaborators who understand what it means to be emotionally naked on screen. They are not chasing charm. They are chasing truth. And they have found it. This is a near-perfect film. And it is a true one. And in the world of romantic cinema, that is a lot rarer than it should be.
