Chunky Panday Reviews Ahaan Panday's Saiyaara, Calls It A 'Blockbuster'
Ahaan Panday has finally made his debut in Mohit Suri's Saiyaara, and no one is happier than his family. Ahaan Panday 's family is constantly showing up for him in real life and on social media, leaving no stone unturned to ensure that his debut is a success. Leading the charge is Ahaan's uncle, actor Chunky Panday, who constantly praises the film. Chunky Panday recently attended Saiyaara's premiere and had a glowing review of the film.
As the paps caught up with Chunky Panday and Bhavana Panday after Saiyaara's screening, they asked the actor to review Saiyaara. Chunky Panday said, 'Very good, best. Blockbuster." Chunky and Bhavana flashed proud smiles as another actor in their family had impressed fans. Have a look here:
Chunky Panday's daughter and Ahaan's cousin, Ananya Panday, also attended the special screening of Saiyaara, and her reaction said it all—she's a proud cousin and a newly minted fan. Taking to Instagram, Ananya shared a few heartfelt pictures from the evening. One showed her hugging Ahaan tightly, while another had her posing with an 'Ahaan Panday Fan Club" sticker stuck to her forehead. She captioned the post, 'A star is born ⭐️, my Saiyaara @ahaanpandayy."
Besides Chunky Panday and Ananya Panday, Ahaan's mother, Deanne Panday, and sister Alanna Panday are also constantly taking to social media to share positive reviews of the film. The Pandays are standing tall and proud in their support of Ahaan's debut.
The film's box office collection has also matched the social media response. Saiyaara has outperformed the Day 1 collections of Murder 2 (Rs 6.95 crore), Aashiqui 2 (Rs 6.10 crore), and Half Girlfriend (Rs 10.30 crore). It has also eclipsed the collections of Ek Villain (2014), which collected Rs 16 crore on its opening day, by becoming Mohit Suri's biggest opener ever.
The film revolves around Krish Kapoor, an aspiring singer, and Vaani Batra, a budding journalist. As their love blossoms, they find themselves up against numerous odds. Set to a soundtrack that's already winning hearts, the film blends romance, ambition, and emotional drama. While Saiyaara continues its successful theatrical run, it will eventually be released on Netflix. The OTT premiere date has not been confirmed yet. With massive box office numbers and solid family support, it looks like Ahaan Panday is off to a dream start in Bollywood.
