'Saiyaara se aashiqui ho gayi': Shraddha Kapoor calls Ahaan-Aneet's film 'pure magic'

Mint5 days ago
Mohit Suri's Saiyaara is continuing to win hearts across the country—and Shraddha Kapoor just joined the list of celebrities gushing over the film. The actor, who immortalised the character of Aarohi in Aashiqui 2, shared her love for the romantic drama on Instagram, calling Saiyaara 'pure cinema' and 'pure magic.'
Taking to her stories on Tuesday, Shraddha posted a video of herself cheering and clapping during a scene featuring lead pair Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. 'Saiyaara se Aashiqui ho gayi hai mujhe,' she wrote, comparing the emotional high of the film to her own 2013 blockbuster.
She also posted a still of an intense moment from the film, Ahaan's character Krrish Kapoor on his knees, staring at a photo of Vaani (played by Aneet). 'Pure cinema, pure drama, pure magic. Uff… bohot time baad itna emotion feel kiya hai… Iss moment ke liye 5 baar dekhungi (Felt so emotional after such a long time. I'd watch it five times just for this moment),' she captioned it. Shraddha Kapoor wrote on Instagram, 'Pure cinema, pure drama, pure magic.'
The reaction comes amid growing comparisons between Saiyaara and Aashiqui 2, both helmed by Mohit Suri and known for their soul-stirring music and emotionally charged romance.
Before Shraddha, Alia Bhatt had also praised Saiyaara, calling it a film 'full of heart, full of soul.' In a note shared online, she wrote, 'Saiyaara isn't just a film. It's a moment. And I'm so glad I got to feel it.' Karan Johar also posted that he was 'blown away' by Ahaan and Aneet's debut, adding that the film's music 'lingers long after the credits roll.'
Saiyaara has emerged as a breakout success story in 2025. The film grossed ₹ 100 crore in just four days, with opening weekend figures touching ₹ 82 crore globally. On Spotify, its title track—composed and sung by indie artists Faheem Abdullah and Arslan Nizami—has soared to No. 7 on the Global Top 50 chart, a rare feat for a debut film's soundtrack.
The reactions online have been equally passionate:
'I am surprised she went to theatre to watch the movie , and not use AI for writing a fake review ,' a user wrote.
'loved how she titled it, chahe PR ho ya kuch, loved it ki jaise hum local me baat krte hn waise hi likha. Minute thing but it connects with people unlike fake English para generated from AI,' another user wrote.
'The eyes scene was my Roman Empire, so beautiful,' the third wrote.
Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara tells the story of Krrish, a struggling musician, and Vaani, an aspiring journalist, whose lives collide in a whirlwind of love, longing, and loss. With powerful performances and a soundtrack that's dominating charts, Saiyaara is fast becoming the most talked-about love story of the year.

Kristin Scott Thomas opens up on grief and healing in emotional directorial debut My Mother's Wedding

Kristin Scott Thomas has stepped behind the camera for the first time with 'My Mother's Wedding', a deeply personal directorial debut that draws from the most profound corners of her own life. Speaking candidly about the film's emotional origins in a CBS interview, Thomas shared how the grief and loss she experienced as a child became the creative foundation for the project. 'When I was five, my father was killed, and my mother remarried. And tragically, he was killed five years later,' Thomas revealed. 'And I know that a lot of the time when I was a younger woman, I had this feeling of something missing, this piece of my puzzle missing having grown up with only one parent.' Both men had served as pilots in the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm and died in eerily similar training accidents, leaving young Kristin to process unimaginable loss. 'My blood is English, but my culture is French,' she said, reflecting on how her bicultural identity shaped her storytelling instincts. 'The memories of my dad were incomplete, fuzzy, like sketches I played out in my head.' Those fragmented images and the stories she began crafting as a child — simple tales of 'a mommy and a daddy and two children, just doing ordinary things, like going away on holiday and things like that' — would eventually grow into the script for 'My Mother's Wedding'. The film stars Scarlett Johansson, Sienna Miller, and Emily Beecham as three sisters grappling with the death of a father or stepfather, just as their mother prepares to marry again. The process of writing and directing her first film was anything but easy. 'I think it was Sydney Pollock – or it might have been Robert Redford, take your pick,' Thomas laughed. 'One of them said to me, 'You know, you have to be generous. Forget what you're trying to defend. Forget trying to hide. Be more generous.' And I'm not sure I really understood what he meant by that. He just planted a seed, and then I was able to kind of unzip a bit more.' My Mother's Wedding offers a poignant, quietly powerful look at what it means to lose, to remember, and to move forward — and marks a new chapter in Thomas' already celebrated career.
