Synopsis Mohit Suri's Saiyaara is currently making waves. The romantic musical stars Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu praised the film. Other Bollywood celebrities also shared positive reviews. Saiyaara's box office numbers are impressive. The film is produced by Yash Raj Films. Netflix has acquired the digital rights. The OTT release date is awaited. Agencies Mahesh Babu's glowing praise for Saiyaara has added star power to the debut film of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. The romantic musical, directed by Mohit Suri, has struck a chord with audiences and critics alike. In an industry where newcomers often struggle to make their presence felt, Saiyaara has emerged as a refreshing exception — one that's breaking norms, box office records, and expectations alike. The romantic musical, helmed by Mohit Suri and released in theatres on July 18, has not only struck a chord with audiences but also found a surprise admirer in Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu. Taking to social media, the actor shared a heartfelt endorsement of the film, calling it 'a beautifully made film with honest storytelling, standout performances, and top-notch execution.' Quoting his post from X (formerly Twitter), he wrote, 'Take a bow #Saiyaara team… Big love to #AhaanPanday & #AneetPadda for living their roles so effortlessly… This one deserves all the love coming its way.' The statement has added a new layer of credibility and excitement to what was already being celebrated as a promising debut for its lead stars. — urstrulyMahesh (@urstrulyMahesh) At the centre of this cinematic wave is Ahaan Panday — nephew of actor Chunky Panday — who makes his big screen debut as Krish, a passionate singer with a turbulent past. Alongside him is Aneet Padda, playing Vaani, a character navigating heartbreak, renewal, and self-discovery. Together, they breathe life into a narrative that walks the fine line between emotional depth and youthful exuberance. Their on-screen chemistry, coupled with Mohit Suri's evocative direction, has turned Saiyaara into more than just a musical — it's a heartfelt journey of healing, ambition, and rediscovered love. The film follows Vaani as she tries to rebuild her life after being abandoned at the altar, only to cross paths with Krish, a musician nursing emotional wounds of his own. What unfolds is a tender story of connection, resilience, and the courage to love again. Beyond Mahesh Babu, industry voices have been vocal in their admiration. Alia Bhatt, Arjun Kapoor, Neha Dhupia, and Rasha Thadani have shared glowing tributes on social media, while actor Harshvardhan Rane called the film 'a melodious love story that shatters all formulas.' Even filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga reportedly sent director Mohit Suri a personal message after watching the film. According to Sacnilk, Saiyaara opened with an impressive ₹21 crore, followed by ₹24 crore on day two. With the weekend closing in, the film is projected to touch ₹73 crore — numbers that many seasoned stars would envy in today's challenging box office climate. Produced under the Yash Raj Films banner, the film has also secured a digital home with Netflix, although the OTT release date is yet to be confirmed. This move is expected to widen its reach, especially among young audiences resonating with its chart-topping music and modern emotional themes.
