'Saiyaara' review
Lauding the work of the newcomers, an excerpt from TOI's review of 'Saiyaara' reads - 'Ahaan Panday's makes a smashing debut, capturing both the rough-edged swagger of a star-in-the-making and the vulnerability demanded later on. His prowess is on display in the finale as he revisits an earlier scene—channelling Virat 'King' Kohli—transforming the raw passion of the first half into pure emotion later. Aneet Padda is impressive in romantic and emotional scenes and has a dainty yet commanding screen presence.
The actress shines in a recording studio scene early on, when she talks about the enduring nature of emotions in music versus fleeting trends.'
