Is Saiyaara, starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, a remake of the Korean film A Moment to Remember?
Move over star kids and soft launches, because Saiyaara has officially launched Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda with a Rs 20 crore box office bang! Directed by Mohit Suri, the tearjerker dropped on July 18 and is already being hailed as the biggest romantic drama of the year. But while the film is serving emotions, music and tragic love, desi cinephiles are sniffing something suspiciously familiar. Saiyaara makes a crazy debut, but did you get the Korean déjà vu? The film follows Krish, a moody musician with a broken past, and Vaani, a bright, lovable girl who ends up being diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's just when things get real. Sound oddly specific? That is because fans think it is 'allegedly' like A Moment to Remember, the 2004 Korean film that had everyone crying into their ramen. Directed by John H. Lee, the Korean drama is iconic for its heartbreaking portrayal of love under the shadow of memory loss, and Saiyaara seems to be playing the same sad tune. Twitter (aka X) detectives are already comparing scene-by-scene, and the resemblance is... well, hard to forget. Mohit Suri calls it 'original,' but fans are not buying it While the internet screams 'rip-off', the creators are staying tight-lipped. The screenplay has been credited to Sankalp Sadanah and Suri himself, and earlier buzz even suggested Saiyaara was a spiritual sequel to Aashiqui 2. Somewhere along the way, it pivoted to being a "contemporary" Indian love story. So #SAIYAARA is a copy of this KOREAN FILM! (Read the synopsis)Mohit Suri has barely made any original film. #Saiyaara is a copy of a Korean of the Movie - A Moment To Remember. Yeh BKL Mohit Suri jisne apne Life mein ek Original Movie nahi #Saiyaara print to print Remake of Korean Movie "A Moment to Remember"?Saala Actor aur Actress ka Look bhi Print to Print hai...#War2 #Coolie #SaiyaaraMitronn , Copywood is back again with a Korean remake — paid posts and corporate bookings will make the numbers the trauma I went through while watching that torture till the first half... it'll take time to recover from that.A moment to remember >saiyaara Korean thrillers make you sit on the edge of your seat. This remake made me check my phone every 5 mins. #Saiyaara completely lost the plot! According to Times of India, a sources close to the team insist it is not a remake, but an 'inspired' tale with local soul. But desi audiences are not exactly easy to fool, especially the K-drama obsessed ones. Inspired or imitated? Either way, the buzz is working Whether it is borrowed brilliance or Bollywood coincidence, Saiyaara is definitely trending. Ahaan and Aneet's chemistry, the soundtrack, and the pure emotional chaos have Gen Z in a chokehold. And honestly? Even if it is inspired, at least it is not a direct frame-by-frame copy (we are looking at you, Sadak 2).

Mukesh Ambani and Nita Ambani's bahu Shloka Mehta makes big statement on motherhood, says 'I tell my....'
In a rare podcast interview with influencer and entrepreneur Masoom Minawala, Shloka Mehta, Mukesh Ambani's daughter-in-law, shared her honest thoughts about how she manages her work, dreams, and motherhood. In a video posted on Masoom Minawala's YouTube channel on July 18, Shloka Mehta spoke about how she manages work along with being a mom. She said that being part of a non-profit like ConnectFor gives her a chance to create something meaningful that her children Prithvi Akash Ambani and Veda Ambani can be proud of. For her, it's about leaving behind a legacy that shows her kids the value of doing something good for others. Shloka talked about her role as the co-founder of ConnectFor , a platform that helps connect volunteers with non-profit organisations in India. She said working on something meaningful has given her life more purpose. Shloka also shared her simple wish for her kids and other young people: 'I want them to know that any career is okay. It's fine if success comes slowly, just keep going and believe in what you're building.' 'You need to be aware of the world around you. You need to think, 'What can I do for it?' I think for me, it has doubled my resolve because you are creating something for someone you are fully invested in, who is going to be influenced by it. I think that is the best legacy you can leave behind for your kids. I was passionate about something that I really followed what I wanted to do, and I wanted them to do the same thing. Akash Ambani's support for her work Shloka Mehta shared how important her family's support has been in her journey with ConnectFor. She said her biggest achievement so far has simply been keeping the organisation going and that wouldn't have happened without the constant encouragement from her and co-founder Maniti Shah's families. 'None of this would've worked if our families didn't stand by us or believe in us as much as we believed in ourselves,' Shloka said. She added that their parents and husbands, including Akash Ambani, are genuinely proud of their work. 'It feels really special when they say, 'This is what my wife does.' We've been very lucky.' WATCH VIDEO HERE What is ConnectFor? ConnectFor is a platform co-founded by Shloka Mehta and Maniti Shah that helps people who want to volunteer find the right non-profits to work with. As Shloka puts it, 'It's like a but for volunteering.' They started it with one simple goal: to build a bridge between volunteers and NGOs that needed support. Now, after 10 years, ConnectFor has grown a lot. It has worked with more than 1 lakh (100,000) volunteers and over 1,000 non-profit organisations. Because of their efforts, NGOs have saved more than Rs. 21 crore in resources. So far, volunteers have spent over 4.18 lakh hours helping others through the platform. Today, ConnectFor partners with 120 companies and more than 150 student groups across India. Shloka also spoke about how the social sector in India often doesn't get the attention or credit it deserves. She said that a lack of funding leads to a shortage of skilled people, and without the right people, it's hard to make a real difference. She also raised concerns about how policies are made without listening to people who actually work on the ground. For example, she mentioned school toilets built for girls that were never maintained properly. 'No one taught the girls about menstrual hygiene either,' she said, 'so the problem just came back.' Shloka has always felt a strong desire to work in the social sector. After studying anthropology at Princeton and law at LSE, she came back to Mumbai in 2014 and started working in education. She said the huge gap in opportunities between different groups in society really moved her and made her want to help. Shloka Mehta married Akash Ambani, the eldest son of Mukesh Ambani, in a beautiful wedding in March 2019. The two have known each other since childhood and even went to college together. Today, they are parents to two children. Their son, Prithvi Akash Ambani, was born in December 2020, and their daughter, Veda, was born in May 2023.

Box Office: Saiyaara Emerges a BLOCKBUSTER, Set for Strong Growth on Day Two
Saiyaara has emerged as a BLOCKBUSTER with the film set to register growth in business on its second day. Based on how morning shows have fared and how the current sales are moving, the Mohit Suri film is looking for a Rs. 25 crore plus day today. It could even move toward Rs. 30 crore but there will likely be capacity issues which will prevent it from doing so, that will get clear later in the day. Normally, you would wait for weekdays to make this call, but when the film is showing this kind of surge following an already outstanding first day, there is little doubt about it holding on weekdays. Still, the Monday hold will be confirming the verdict, but it's pretty much a lock at this point. Saiyaara started strongly in the morning, albeit a bit lower compared to yesterday, which is normal for a film that opened well. At the time of writing, it has caught up with its first day and now will start making gains from here on. The current sales today are going at a phenomenal pace, with online ticket booking portal BMS reporting double the sales today than it was yesterday. The film opened to Rs. 20.25 crore nett yesterday, which is an outstanding start for the film of this size. By EOD today, it will be close to Rs. 50 crore and the weekend is projected to be around Rs. 75 crore. This will set it up for a Rs. 150-175 crore plus final, which could go all the way to over Rs. 200 crore. The YRF film costs around Rs. 65 crore to produce and release, which on paper was a big gamble to put on a no-face cast. That, however, has paid big time as the film will recover all that from just the Indian theatrical share. The non-theatrical rights are linked to the box office and are expected to fetch a big sum as well. In all, the profits from the film will go over Rs. 100 crore, making it one of the most profitable films ever.
