Mohit Suri's Saiyaara starring Ahaan Panday has similarities with 2004 Korean film A Moment To Remember
Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's romantic film Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri, has been getting a great response. The film has been performing well at the box office, too, and in three 3 days, Saiyaara has collected Rs 83.07 crores in India. While this rom-com starring debutants is being widely talked about, some users on Reddit recently pointed out that Mohit Suri has uncanny similarities between Saiyaara and a 2004 Korean film titled 'A Moment To Remember'. Ahaan Panday's film's storyline is said to be very similar to the plot of John H. Lee's Korean film. Mohit Suri's Saiyaara is a love story between a short-tempered musician Krish Kapur (Ahaan Panday) and an aspiring journalist Vaani (Aneet Padda). Their love is put to the test when Vaani gets diagnosed with an early-onset of Alzheimer's, while she wants to leave the relationship, he chooses to stay beside her and make her relive their memories together. The Korean film A Moment To Remember that released in 2004 and starred Son Ye-jin and Jung Woo-sung, also has a similar storyline. Also Read: 'After Saiyaara, Ahaan Panday will be known as a lover': Director Mohit Suri says it's 'amazing how things have fallen into place for the new boy' Quickly pointing out the striking similarities in the plots, a user on Reddit wrote, 'Major plot points are the same, like Alzheimer's, confusion with ex, girl running away. Also, the ending where he recreates the past moment is the same…' Another user wrote, 'So Saiyaara is based on A Moment to Remember? Mohit Suri and his love for copying South Korean movies. Ek Villain, as an adaptation of I Saw The Devil, was far apart, as one was an action, revenge drama with no side plot, and the other was a romantic drama.' So #SAIYAARA is a copy of this KOREAN FILM! (Read the synopsis) Mohit Suri has barely made any original film. — Chanduminati (@illuminatiGuyy) July 18, 2025 A third user on X accused Mohit Suri of borrowing from Korean cinema and listed the movies that have been picked from there. According to the user, Aashiqui 2 was a copy of 'A Star is Born', Ek Villain was copied from 'I Saw The Devil', Murder 2 was a copy of 'The Chaser', and Awarapan was copied from 'A Bittersweet Life'. Another user also wrote, 'Always remember every top artist copies from one another, but you have to give your flavour while doing, and not every filmmaker can do justice or copy another work if they don't have the talent to do so.' However, many also pointed out that Saiyaara is quite a well-made adaptation, if it is copied from the Korean film. Saiyaara is directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Yash Raj Films. The film was released in theaters on 18th July.
