Saiyaara Movie Review
Subhash's writings in 'Saiyaara'
'Many new faces broke the records at box office coz of an interesting character, good story, good director, great music," the director wrote on his Instagram account. "The fact we all forget every time and make projects with stars repeating their images again and again.'
'Newcomers come with inspiring characters'
He then provided examples to support his claim, stating, "Record-breaking new stars include those in Bobby, Ek Dooje ke Liye, Betaab, Love Story, Hero, Qayamat se Qayamat Tak, Maine Pyar Kiya, Phool aur Kaante, Kaho Na Pyaar Hain, Sairat, Kerala Story, and now Saiyaara."
Newcomers come with inspiring characters and with freshness and become stars. Let's note it again.'
"When a new star-cast film creates a wave at the box office, it sends us a clear message to investors and producers not to make an overbudget film more than a good story needs—not to invest in main actors more than your production cost—no money spent on stars' whims—no extra spend on marketing stunts," the director previously stated, congratulating the makers of Saiyaara on their success.

Last Updated: Sonakshi Sinha opted for a white shirt paired with blue jeans and a denim jacket, while Zaheer Iqbal opted for an all-black look. Sonakshi Sinha and Zaheer Iqbal, often hailed as one of the most endearing celebrity couples, are known for their playful chemistry and light-hearted exchanges. On Friday night, the duo stepped out to attend an event in the city, and their lively interaction with photographers at the venue once again charmed fans and caught the internet's attention. Sonakshi Sinha And Zaheer Iqbal's Playful Banter In a video surfacing on Instagram, Sonakshi and Zaheer are seen coming out of a building and striking a pose in front of the paparazzi. As it progresses, we see a paparazzi requesting the duo for a picture. To this, the Dabangg actress immediately agrees and says, 'Yes, come." But as the paparazzi moves ahead to stand between the couple for the picture, Sonakshi, jokingly, denies, saying 'Beech mein nahi (not in the middle)," and asks him to stand on the side. She added, 'Nahi humaare beech koi nahi aa sakta (No one can come between us)," leaving all present at the location in stitches. Furthermore, the duo was seen heading towards their car. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mamaraazzi (@mamaraazzi) Sonakshi Sinha And Zaheer Iqbal's Looks For their latest appearance, the Rowdy Rathore actress opted for a white shirt paired with blue jeans and a denim jacket. Zaheer opted for an all-black look. He wore a shirt paired with matching pants. Sonakshi Sinha And Zaheer Iqbal's Marriage The duo got married in June 2024 in an intimate ceremony after dating each other for seven years. The couple registered their marriage at the actress' home, followed by a star-studded reception with industry friends. Sonakshi Sinha And Zaheer Iqbal's Work Front The actress was recently seen in the psychological thriller film Nikita Roy, co-starring Arjun Rampal and Paresh Rawal. Directed by Kush S Sinha, the film, despite getting positive reviews, failed to perform at the box office. This could be a result of its big box office clash with Mohit Suri's musical romantic drama, Saiyaara. Up next, she will be seen in the Telugu thriller film Jatadhara opposite actor Sudheer Babu. Zaheer, on the other hand, was last seen in a special cameo role in Aayush Sharma's action thriller film, Ruslaan. He is yet to announce his next project.
