Kanpur Woman After Watching Ahaan Panday's Saiyaara: ‘Scam Hogaya Bhai. Koi Nahi Roh Raha'
Last Updated: A video from Kanpur shows a woman jokingly calling Saiyaara a 'scam' after expecting a sad movie but finding a happy ending, making people question all the emotional reels online. Mohit Suri's Saiyaara is winning hearts across the country. The film, which marks the debut of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has become the talk of the town. From packed theatres to emotional fan reels, the buzz around Saiyaara is unstoppable. But in the middle of all this hype, one hilarious Instagram video is going viral, and it is calling the entire emotional frenzy a 'scam." While Saiyaara is being hailed as an emotional rollercoaster, one woman from Kanpur, identified as Krati Jaiswal, had a very different experience, and she is not shy about saying it. In a video shared on Instagram, Krati can be seen standing inside a theatre, visibly amused. She opens the video saying, 'Bhai puri movie khatam ho gayi, but ek banda nahi ro raha hai yaar. Scam ho gaya hai humare sath." She explains that she and her friends came to watch Saiyaara after seeing the emotional reactions online—people crying, needing CPR, breaking down in theatres. The hype was too much to ignore. They didn't want to miss what the internet was calling 'the most heart-shattering film of the year." But after watching the film, her verdict? It has a happy ending. According to her, the movie was nice, but not the emotional tsunami she had expected. The hero and heroine end up together, and no major tragedy unfolds. Pointing her camera at the calm, composed crowd around her, she asks, 'Who were those people who needed CPR after watching this movie?" She then jokingly nudges her friend, saying, 'Please cry a little, we need content!" The light-hearted take had everyone on the internet in splits. The caption reads, 'Jo dekhne gaye they wo toh mila hi nahi. Movie was fine, just a one-time watch. Story hamesha jaisi, but the acting and songs were good." The video, posted on July 23, has already racked up over 8 lakh views. Instagram users joined in with hilarious comments. A user said, 'Didi kisi ko to rula do." Another wrote, 'Galat time pe chale gaye ho. Dil toote log raat ke show mein milenge." 'Happy ending hai to log ro kyun rahe itna?" an individual joked. And one brutally honest take reads, 'Mere saath bhi scheme hua hai. Bakwas movie hai." Adding to the chorus of unexpected reactions, a couple also shared their disappointment. 'People are crying in the reels, but we're angry that we came to watch this movie. Waste of money," they said in a video on Instagram. 'I especially want to ask the girls and boys who were crying—who were they? How much were they paid? Because if that's the case, I also want to cry for money," the couple added. Despite these videos, the film is raking in big numbers. According to Sacnilk, Saiyaara has made a huge impact at the box office, earning Rs 140 crore in just 5 days in India alone.
