Saiyaara Mania Peaks As Fan Attends Screening With IV Drip; Netizens Say 'Next Level Dedication'
A dedicated fan of Saiyaara watched the film with an IV drip still attached, showing just how deep the love runs for Mohit Suri's emotional romance. Mohit Suri's Saiyaara isn't just a box office success—it's turning into a full-blown cultural phenomenon. With its searing portrayal of love and heartbreak, the debut film of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda has struck such a nerve with Gen Z audiences that fans are taking their devotion to extreme, and at times bizarre, levels. A video that has now gone viral on Reddit shows a young man in a theatre—eyes glassy, hand hooked up to an IV drip—watching Saiyaara with full emotional investment. His friends capture the scene as he wipes away a tear during a poignant moment in the film. In another video on the same man's Instagram, he's seen walking down a dimly lit road, the IV still dangling from his arm as the haunting title track of Saiyaara plays in the background. Based on the details shared, the fan appears to be from Satara, Maharashtra. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Iamfaisal (@iamfaisal04) While the man's dedication might have been born out of genuine fandom, netizens had mixed reactions—ranging from amused to exasperated. 'Bhai bimar h tu Allah ko yaad kar, Saiyaara se kaam na chale," one user wrote, urging him to prioritize his health. Another chimed in, 'Itni dedication? Hospital se uth kar film dekhne aa gaya?" A Redditor went a step further with social commentary: 'Iss generation ke liye pani save karna is not worth it." As dramatic as it may seem, this isn't an isolated case. Several videos have surfaced of young fans screaming, crying, even fainting during screenings of Saiyaara. Some theatres have reported a frenzy not seen since the peak of the Dhoom or Aashiqui 2 era. But it's not just the public reaction that's making waves. The film itself has shattered records. According to an official statement from Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara raked in ₹21.25 crore on its opening day at the domestic box office. 'It's the biggest opening day ever for a debutant-led film, the career-best opening for director Mohit Suri, and the highest Day 1 numbers for a romantic drama," the statement read. What's more surprising is how this success came about—with zero traditional promotions. 'No interviews, no city visits, no reels, no influencer content, no visibility. Just the power of strong content marketed to the entire nation," the production house proudly declared. Featuring Ahaan Panday, who makes his much-awaited Bollywood debut, and Aneet Padda, known for her work in Big Girls Don't Cry and Salaam Venky, Saiyaara taps into raw, old-school romantic storytelling—a signature of Mohit Suri's earlier hits like Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villain. And judging by the hysteria around it, it looks like the film has found its mark. First Published: July 20, 2025, 21:00 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

'Naak Se Gau Ya Galey Se?': Himesh Reshammiya Mocks Trolls At Delhi Concert
Last Updated: Himesh Reshammiya drew a huge crowd to Delhi's Indira Gandhi arena on July 19 for his CapMania tour. Known for nasal singing, he asked fans whether to sing using his nasal tone. Himesh Reshammiya drew a massive footfall to Delhi's Indira Gandhi arena on July 19 as a part of his CapMania concert tour. The singer, who became a sensation in the 2000s with his nasal singing and his signature cap and leather jacket look, enthralled fans by singing some of his classic hits as the audience sang along. He also took a jibe at trolls, asking fans whether he should sing in his nasal tone. 'Jai MATADI Let's Rock delhi you were historic amazing , love you all #capmaniatour," wrote Himesh Reshammiya, while sharing photos from his Delhi concert. He also posted several videos and pictures of his big moments. His fans, who attended the concert in pure Himesh fashion wearing caps, have also been circulating his videos on social media. It was during one of his segments when he asked the audience: ' Naak se gau ya galey se? (Should I sing using my nasal tone or regular voice)." Take a look at his post: Back in June, when the singer performed for his fans in Mumbai, had asked the same question, clapping back at critics. This was met with loud hoots and cheers from the audience. Mid-concert, Himesh asked fans: ' Thoda regular gau yaa naak se? (Should I sing in a regular style or nasally?)." They requested nasal. He asked them, 'Are you sure?" The audience said 'yes" in unison. In his high-pitched nasal tune, Himesh sang two lines of Aashiq Banaya Aapne for them. Recently, the 51-year-old singer spoke about his nasal style of singing. He told Pinkvilla, 'Aaj toh nasal ki baat bhi nahi kar rahe hain (Nobody is making that criticism of my nasal singing these days). Many people did nasal singing after me, so many of my songs became hits." He further explained why there was even a need for his nasal singing in Aashiq Banaya Aapne. Himesh said in the same interview, 'Actually, even though I call it nasal singing today, for me, it was never nasal, it was high-pitched singing. It was a cry for help! In the 'Aashiq Banaya' video, this guy is actually crying in pain, singing, as well as dancing." Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
