The film revolves around Krish Kapoor, an aspiring singer, and Vaani Batra, a budding journalist. As their love blossoms, they find themselves up against numerous odds. Set to a soundtrack that's already winning hearts, the film blends romance, ambition, and emotional drama. While Saiyaara continues its successful theatrical run, it will eventually be released on Netflix. The OTT premiere date has not been confirmed yet. With massive box office numbers and solid family support, it looks like Ahaan Panday is off to a dream start in Bollywood.
