Ok watched it.
It's not going to be a movie for everyone, it is a full on romantic/angsty film.
It's not a bad film, it's watchable and there are some good moments, but the parts near the end do get quite boring and stretched, the ending could have been better, it was just okay. The story is a predictable one and we have seen the young romance with angst and heartbreak before, so in terms of story there is nothing ground breaking.
The songs worked well in the film, for some reason none of the songs clicked for me outside of the film, but they worked well with the scenes.
In terms of acting, honestly, this is a decent debut from ahaan and Aneet, they acted well in their parts. They had decent dialogue delivery and expressions. Now does this mean they are stars and we can already label them great actors? no it does not, this is just one film and they still have a very long way to go. In order to really prove themselves they will have to have versatility and play different parts. What they do after this film will be crucial. The chemistry between ahaan and aneet was good.
So overall, is it a big screen movie? I don't think so, this can easily be watched on your TV or laptop at home. I feel alot of the younger gen will like the film and connect to it, it's not a family film.

Spoiler:
Saiyaara is heavily inspired by the korean movie 'A Moment to Remember', even that is a love story and in the film the leading female character has early onset alzheimers and loses her memory, that movie was much more realistic and showed the true heartbreaking consequences of alzheimers. This is a bollywood film so obviously it will be lighter and filmy.
So yeh saiyaara is not a completely original story
