Saiyaara OTT Release: How to watch Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's romantic drama
Mohit Suri directorial love flick is delivering strong performance at the box office as it garnered an estimated ₹ 37 crore net at the domestic box office on Day 3. Amid strong show in theatres, the anticipation for its digital debut is building.
Streaming giant Netflix reportedly acquired Saiyaara's digital rights but there is no official digital release date yet. It is most likely that the film will follow the typical release pattern of Bollywood movies and will debut on OTT approximately two months after its theatrical run. As per predictions, it will premiere on Netflix around late September or early October. The final confirmation about exact OTT release date from Netflix is still awaited.
Amid huge demand for Saiyaara tickets over the weekend, the movie witnessed capacity constraints even though more shows were added. Compared to other top stars' movies this year, the movie had a smaller release.
Film trade analyst Taran Adarsh, who gave the movie 4.5 star rating, in a post on X stated, 'Saiyaara is achieving is both UNIMAGINABLE and UNPRECEDENTED… The film is in rampage mode – not just across metros, but also in Tier-2 and Tier-3 centres... Midnight shows are being added to meet the overwhelming demand."
Saiyaara has broken the records of Shahid Kapoor and Kiara Advani starrer 'Kabir Singh' which raked in ₹ 71 crores net in India during first weekend, although the 2019 movie saw a bigger release than Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda movie.
Marking the biggest first weekend for an Indian romantic drama film, the movie did a business of ₹ 83 crore net at the domestic box office during 3-day run in theatres, defying expectations and predictions.
Mohit Suri in an interview with Pinkvilla revealed that he was initially planning to make Aashiqui 3 with Bhushan Kumar and Mukesh Bhatt but eventually the story came to be titled Saiyaara.
Mohit Suri stated, 'I know, they have a very sensitive relationship. They are friends at times, and then they are not. So, I thought of this idea for Aashiqui 3, which is now Saiyaara. But they were in a hurry and wanted to announce, which is something I was not comfortable with. I prefer in having a script first and then make an announcement. But to sum it up, yes, this idea was originally for Aashiqui 3.'

Ahaan Panday-Aneet Padda's Saiyaara copied Son Ye Jin-Jung Woo Sung's A Moment to Remember? Exploring storylines
Setting up the game for one of the biggest openings for a Hindi film in 2025, Saiyaara is eyeing unprecedented Box Office success. A Mohit Suri directorial, it marks Ahaan Panday's Bollywood debut and the big break that Aneet Padda was looking for after her work in Big Girls Don't Cry and Salaam Venky. With praise comes criticism, and the same has been true for the Bollywood film, which has welcomed the odd few bad remarks. But the biggest controversy has been its comparisons with the 2004 Korean release, A Moment to Remember. A Moment to Remember, starring Son Ye Jin and Jung Woo Sung in the lead roles, became the actress's commercial breakout. It followed the lives of Kim Su Jin and Choi Chul Soo, who end up falling in love after a long courting period on her part. She, a fashion designer and he, an architect, build a beautiful married life. Eventually, her Alzheimer's disease wades a difference in their marriage, but they decide to stay together. Saiyaara, led by Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, follows the lives of Krish Kapoor and Vaani Batra, a struggling musician and a journalist-cum-poet who meet amid a troubled time in her life. They fall in love and carve a successful path for him to walk on as a singer. With a superhit track on his hands, he learns of her Alzheimer's disease after encountering some troublesome moments involving her ex-boyfriend. After a long-winded road to each other, the two get married in an emotional and romantic culmination of their love story. Similarities in A Moment to Remember and Saiyaara Netizens have shared a barrage of moments that can draw comparisons between the two projects, but the central plotline being about the onset of early Alzheimer's disease in both the female leads has become the point of debate for many. Their problematic pasts with ex-lovers in the film have also been disputed, as well as their relationship with their own families. A recreation of one of their most romantic moments from their dating era has been added to the bunch time and again. That is where the line has to be drawn, however, as both films take on different paths and messages towards the end. Differences in A Moment to Remember and Saiyaara Spread over three 'acts', Son Ye Jin and Jung Woo Sung get married towards the start of the film. With no courting on the girl's end, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's movie benefits him more than her, with the use of her writing for his fame as a musician. They get married at the end, finally earning a sigh of relief from the viewers. The confusion has stayed constant in both depictions, but that seems to be an obvious effect of the concerned illness. Moreover, Son Ye Jin runs off to a care facility while Aneet Padda lives her life in Himachal Pradesh, not wanting to be discovered. Mohit Suri does a larger-than-life portrayal of their love story, unlike the homely touch of A Moment to Remember. Overall, despite many similarities with its Korean counterpart, there does not seem to be plagiarism involved in the newer Hindi film.
