"Influencers were ‘paid to cry’ at theaters during Saiyaara screenings"

The 'usual' accusations... BB, e.g., is a perfect platform to propagate it (but not the only one)... there was no need to pay anybody to cry or faint... there are enough people who crave for attention - be it 'only' through a pic or clip on Instagram or TicToc or Twitter or Facebook or through press-media (yeah!!!).

So easy to target YRF... it's soooo big that one can't 'miss' it

Oh i hope that's true, because i was starting to question this generation mental health.

Trust me, you aren't alone. I still have so many concerns for today's so-called youth.

Well obviously

The only reason anyone would cry watching Saiyaara is when they were forced to watch it with a gun pointed to their head

It was the most ridiculous movie I have ever seen

I certainly won't discuss superficial statements of people who just judge a movie with some words not even giving a reason for the opinion they utter...

As for some - genuine or fake - audience reactions, I'm sure, this too, got spread either by those who staged it or by those who witnessed it... it has absolutely no impact on my opinion about the movie as such.
