Saiyaara first reactions praise Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's ‘amazing' performances, Mohit Suri's direction; Sandeep Reddy Vanga, Anubhav Sinha share support
The day has finally arrived, Mohit Suri's much-anticipated romantic-musical Saiyaara releases today across 1,750 screens in India. In the weeks leading up to its debut, the film has generated significant buzz, thanks to its soundtrack composed by long-time Suri collaborator Mithoon, and the fresh pairing of debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. Adding to the excitement, singer Palak Muchhal shared her early thoughts after a special screening, calling Saiyaara 'not just a love story, but a journey of emotion, pain, healing, and timeless connection.' She praised Suri's direction and lauded the lead actors, calling them 'the most brilliant debutants I've ever seen, so raw, so powerful.' The film has also been drawing admiration from leading voices in the film industry, not just for its content, but for its refreshingly organic marketing. In an era dominated by heavy-handed PR, influencer tie-ins, and sometimes inflated box office narratives, Saiyaara has stood out for its minimal, music-driven campaign. Filmmaker Kunal Kohli took to X (formerly Twitter) to applaud the strategy, writing: 'Congrats Adi. No interviews. No reels. Just a kick**s trailer & good music. Huge opening on the cards. This is the way to do it. These rubbish interviews & silly reels are just that. Rubbish and silly.' Congrats Adi. No interviews. No Reels. Just a kick ass trailer & good music. Huge opening on the cards. This is the way to do it. These rubbish interviews & silly reels are just that. Rubbish and silly. True promotion of a film is good music & good trailers. Interviews do NOT… — kunal kohli (@kunalkohli) July 16, 2025 Director Anubhav Sinha, who himself debuted with the romantic hit Tum Bin, also showed his support: 'Another love story is coming this Friday. Society greatly needs love. One should keep meeting with love. Watch it in theatres like you watched Metro. Saiyaara is the name of the film. Mohit makes very good love stories, and they're hits too. There are new actors. That's another reason to watch.' एक और प्रेम कहानी आ रही है इस शुक्रवार। प्रेम की बड़ी ज़रूरत है समाज को। प्रेम से मिलते रहना चाहिए। देखिए थिएटर जा के जैसे आपने मेट्रो देखी। SAIYYARA है फ़िल्म का नाम। मोहित प्रेम कहानियाँ बहुत अच्छी बनाते हैं और हिट भी। नए अदाकार हैं। इसलिए भी देखनी चाहिए। — Anubhav Sinha (@anubhavsinha) July 16, 2025 Joining the cohort this morning was Hansal Mehta, who wished Mohit Suri the best of luck for the release and praised his passion for love stories. Your moment has arrived @mohit11481. All the very best for Saiyaara. May your passion and love for movies and music be rewarded in all deserving ways. Much love. — Hansal Mehta (@mehtahansal) July 18, 2025 Also Read | Saiyaara director Mohit Suri: 'No matter what you do online, you still wish to hold someone's hand' Writer-lyricist Varun Grover praised the film's promotional choices, tweeting: 'A good, original romantic album and solid marketing with every song having a video push is still the best strategy. OTTs also need to understand this and invest in original music.' A good, original romantic album and solid marketing with every song having a video push is still the best strategy. OTTs also need to understand this and invest in original music. — वरुण 🇮🇳 (@varungrover) July 16, 2025 Earlier, after the trailer dropped, Animal director Sandeep Reddy Vanga had also expressed his excitement: 'Witnessing a Hindi heartland love story that fully emphasizes romance and drama. Waiting to watch it on the first day. Wishing the debutants all the very best :-) It's purely Mohit Suri's magic.' Witnessing a hindi heartland love story completely emphasizing on romance and drama. Waiting to watch it on the first day. Wishing the debutants all the very best :-) It's purely Mohith suri's Magic :-) @mohit11481 — Sandeep Reddy Vanga (@imvangasandeep) July 9, 2025 Ahaan Panday's sister, actress Ananya Panday, expressed her love and pride on Instagram, writing: 'Been obsessed with my brother since day 1 and I can't wait for the world to feel the same' The debutants themselves shared heartfelt notes on social media last night, expressing gratitude to director Mohit Suri and producer Aditya Chopra for the opportunity and mentorship throughout the journey. Shared post on Time According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Saiyaara has clocked an impressive ₹12.49 crore in advance bookings, including block seats, for Day 1, an extraordinary number for a film featuring newcomers. If these numbers hold, Saiyaara is poised to surpass the opening day collection of Aashiqui 2, another Suri-Mithoon collaboration that became a cult classic. Trade analysts have even begun comparing the film's pre-release buzz to that of Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, which launched Hrithik Roshan into superstardom in 2000. Much of the credit is being given to Yash Raj Films' calculated decision to keep the lead pair away from overexposure, eschewing interviews and digital gimmicks to preserve their novelty for the theatrical experience. So, all eyes are on the big screen now.
