KJO will leave no stone unturned to sign him opp Jhanvi or Khushi.

if padam sundari fails, could be the final nail in coffin

khushi might pull it but jhanvi deffo look aged in front of vedang's and ahaans.

Catering to college/school audience

Most of the bollywood with their 40-60 years old heroes is centred around boomers/millennials, who probably don't want to spend on money or don't go out as much

I wouldn't necessarily say that.. I am officially a millennial and got sick of the same old hero fighting villain. I was actually longing for a film that gave that old school Bollywood romance feels.. and that's what Saiyaara is. It was beautiful! Mohit Suri obviously is known for this genre so wasn't expecting anything less. We needdd more romantic or rom-com films.. no more 60 year olds dancing and romancing girls half their age or fighting 50 men at once 😢

There could be an n number of explanations for the phenomenon but I personally feel that the movie has a soul..

I can give you my reason why I am rooting for it. After a long time a lead pair had brought a smile on my face with their raw, innocent, sincere and genuine performances. I was won over in the first few minutes itself, the rest was just detail. The movie is not without its flaws but still the lead pair with the help of soul stirring music just keeps you glued to your chair wanting for more.

Most of the replies are reviews whereas I am asking why do you think the film had a good opening.

If YRF had announced that they are adapting a Korean film or remaking, don't you think they would have got trolled or negative backlash on twitter/insta?

Jack, just to know which reason you have to state that Saiyaara is a remake/copy/adaptation of the Korean movie A Moment to Remember... would be nice to tell that as you repeat it again & again.

I watched the movie in a houseful theatre and boy the excitement was real..

Going by the script, the trope is nothing unprecedented and neither is presentation anything groundbreaking. So if anyone has high hopes in these departments, they sure are in for a big disappointment.. The music is strictly average which is a big setback and more so considering the fact that it is a musical love story, the male lead is a singer and that the music is the catalyst that brings them together, tears them apart and brings them together again..

But once the movie rolls in you cannot just not feel and wish for a happy ending for the protagonists. Ocassional shoddiness are washed away in the gigantic waves of feelings that the young debutants evoke.. The movie may not have the sophistication, grandeur or finesse signature other filmmakers but it does have one thing in abundance.-- SOUL.

Both the leads are good at emoting through their eyes, both have shown the prowess of restrained performances, the female lead a tad bit more. The chemistry between the leads is neither sizzling nor crackling but it is heartbreakingly innocent and heartwarmingly raw. Hence, it tugs at the heartstrings, thus clicks when you least expect it to..
