After making a grand mark at the box office, Mohit Suri’s romantic drama Saiyaara is once again in the spotlight. The film, starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has now been released on Netflix on September 12, allowing audiences across 190 countries to rewatch the love story from the comfort of their homes.
Fans Defend Saiyaara After OTT Release Criticism
When the film released in theatres on July 18, it surprised many by becoming a blockbuster. It grossed over ₹500 crore worldwide and became the highest-grossing Indian romantic film ever. Despite the success, Saiyaara faced criticism on social media, especially because of some short clips and reels that didn’t represent the entire film. Now that the movie is streaming on OTT, fans are coming forward to defend it and share why they loved it.

Many viewers have praised the music album, calling it one of the best in recent years.

On social media, one fan wrote that the cinematography was “top notch” and that Ahaan and Aneet’s chemistry felt natural and intense. Another fan shared that they didn’t cry during the theatre viewing but shed tears while rewatching the film on OTT, especially during the cricket scene. Some viewers also highlighted the refreshing portrayal of supportive Indian parents in the story, which added warmth to the narrative.
The film follows the journey of Krissh Kapoor (played by Ahaan Panday), a troubled musician, and Vaani Batra (played by Aneet Padda), an aspiring journalist and poet. As their lives intersect, they discover love, passion, and challenges that test their bond. The movie also features strong performances from Varun Badola, Rajesh Kumar, and Geeta Aggarwal.
Fans believe the earlier criticism was unfair, and that Saiyaara deserves recognition for its heartfelt storytelling, strong performances, and soulful music. The OTT release has given audiences another chance to appreciate the film, and many now call it one of the finest modern love stories in Bollywood.
