Is Saiyaara, starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, a remake of the Korean film A Moment to Remember?

Move over star kids and soft launches, because Saiyaara has officially launched Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda with a Rs 20 crore box office bang! Directed by Mohit Suri, the tearjerker dropped on July 18 and is already being hailed as the biggest romantic drama of the year. But while the film is serving emotions, music and tragic love, desi cinephiles are sniffing something suspiciously familiar. Saiyaara makes a crazy debut, but did you get the Korean déjà vu? The film follows Krish, a moody musician with a broken past, and Vaani, a bright, lovable girl who ends up being diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's just when things get real. Sound oddly specific? That is because fans think it is 'allegedly' like A Moment to Remember, the 2004 Korean film that had everyone crying into their ramen. Directed by John H. Lee, the Korean drama is iconic for its heartbreaking portrayal of love under the shadow of memory loss, and Saiyaara seems to be playing the same sad tune. Twitter (aka X) detectives are already comparing scene-by-scene, and the resemblance is... well, hard to forget. Mohit Suri calls it 'original,' but fans are not buying it While the internet screams 'rip-off', the creators are staying tight-lipped. The screenplay has been credited to Sankalp Sadanah and Suri himself, and earlier buzz even suggested Saiyaara was a spiritual sequel to Aashiqui 2. Somewhere along the way, it pivoted to being a "contemporary" Indian love story. So #SAIYAARA is a copy of this KOREAN FILM!

This remake made me check my phone every 5 mins. #Saiyaara completely lost the plot! According to Times of India, a sources close to the team insist it is not a remake, but an 'inspired' tale with local soul. But desi audiences are not exactly easy to fool, especially the K-drama obsessed ones. Inspired or imitated? Either way, the buzz is working Whether it is borrowed brilliance or Bollywood coincidence, Saiyaara is definitely trending. Ahaan and Aneet's chemistry, the soundtrack, and the pure emotional chaos have Gen Z in a chokehold. And honestly? Even if it is inspired, at least it is not a direct frame-by-frame copy (we are looking at you, Sadak 2).
