These days, crowds are turning up in droves to watch their favourite stars, and 'Saiyaara' is the latest example.On July 18, history was made as 'Saiyaara', helmed by Mohit Suri, opened to a phenomenal response at the box office, a rare feat for a film led by debutants. The film marks the Bollywood debut of Ahaan Panday, cousin of Ananya Panday, and Aneet Padda, best known for her role in 'Big Girls Don't Cry'. Along with glowing reviews, the opening day numbers have given the team much to celebrate.advertisementWhat truly caught attention, however, was a video from inside a cinema hall that went viral online. The clip, which looks more like a scene from a rock concert than a film screening, shows a packed audience singing, dancing, and even one man removing his shirt in sheer excitement as Ahaan and Aneet lit up the screen.
