What I liked most about Saiyaara

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koJlIGDImiU

I don't know why, but this song reminds me of Krish Kapoor's love for Vaani Batra

the movie was good but those reels about fainting etc were so cringe. Almost made me not watch the movie.

I don't know why but everytime I see or hear someone praising Saiyaara ,I just can't help but stop there and lean in....to gush about it..

Exactly...so well said

We Need More Films Like Saiyaara

Because cinema, at its best, doesn’t just entertain — it reminds us what it means to be human.

It is not about grand gestures, choreographed confessions, and the perfection of people who look untouched by life’s cruelties. Saiyaara quietly rebelled against that. It dared to tell a story where love exists not in spite of flaws, but because of them.

Krish’s anger wasn’t written away, nor was Vaani's Alzheimer’s turned into melodrama. Instead, the film asked: what happens when two imperfect souls decide to stay anyway?

And the answer was simple, powerful, unforgettable — they create a love that feels more real than perfection ever could.

What moved me most was the film’s refusal to dramatize her condition. There was no pity, no cinematic manipulation to wring tears out of the audience. Instead, there was dignity.

Krish never once loved her as a project to “fix.” He didn’t marry her out of guilt or saviourism. He married her because in her fragile, luminous presence, he found the one thing his anger-ravaged life had never known: home.

And Vaani? She didn’t see him as dangerous or flawed. She saw the boy still hiding beneath his temper — the boy who wanted love but didn’t know how to ask for it. She gave him not sympathy or pity, but acceptance.

No matter what Saiyaara and Krish and vani will always be loved by me.... forever and ever and ever ❤️

For Krish, Vaani was not just someone he loved — she was the answer to a lifelong ache.

A man who carried anger in his veins discovered, through her, what gentleness felt like.

He fell for her because:

She saw him, not his temper.She gave him stillness, not fear.She reminded him that he was capable of tenderness.

And once he tasted that kind of love, nothing else mattered — not the past, not his wounds, not even the certainty of tomorrow.

What I dint like how quick they fell in love . There was no redemption arc in Krrish's character but a fcukboy suddenly ready to leave everything. It wasn't even emotional

Hii .....you definitely are entitled to your opinion...I respect your opinion and I am not going to try and change it.

But I will definitely say what I FELT while watching it and how it touched and resonated with me...

As I saw it, From childhood, Krish isn’t just “sad”—he’s un-nurtured. He loses his mother early, and then slowly, he ended up losing his father as well even when he was alive.

He grows up abandoned ,unseen, untouched, unchosen, building a quiet void that no success can fill.

That's why when he talks of his dream he doesn't mention the money or fame but just that he wants unlimited love from people as a compensation for his childhood and life..."puri duniya ka pyaar ...sab log bol rahe honge Krish Kapoor 'i love you" He’s not being ambitious. He’s revealing a lifetime of deficit.

When he falls in love, something shifts:

He stops needing universal validation.Because he finds personal belonging

What millions of fans could never give, she gives wordlessly—acceptance, softness, loyalty, and presence. And for a man who grew up with nothing to anchor his heart to, that is unimaginable wealth.

That scene When Krish dragged his father and threw him on the road, screaming and throwing money on him and then left that place wiping his eyes...Vaani saw through his rudeness and found that broken, lonely, abandoned child ,heard what he didn't say...The way she went to the ground when Krish was trying to hit the shots and said all those things, revealing her own past wounds,acknowledging how much he helped her in healing by inspiring her to write and how she wants to help her as well without any judgement,or accusations ..she simply saw that abandoned boy inside him and caressed him..For someone like Krish,who was always unseen since his childhood,it meant the world.

And he with tears in his eyes and trembling words told " Help me".....My favourite moment...

I could clearly see why they fell in love.....

I would not Call Krish a “sudden lover boy” . He wasn’t redeemed through Vaani — he was revealed through her.

His anger was always a mask for loneliness.

His restlessness was always a craving for belonging.

What Vaani gave him wasn’t a new personality, but a reason to finally stop running.(Beautifully depicted in another scene when they were sleeping after lovemaking in Barbaad song, he was casually blaming and cursing his friends for not staying and she without any judgement or accusations simply recognised that it's Krish who was running away and said it out loud to him startling him to its core... & this is what he needed..the assurance that he doesn't need to run from love or belonging..he deserves to be loved)

It wasn’t about changing who he was, but about realizing he didn’t have to carry his emptiness anymore. That’s not a cinematic redemption arc — that’s a profoundly human one.Its not an arc of transformation but of recognition.

So yeah this movie worked for me totally.....but I also respect your opinion...Art is subjective at the end of the day...
