A passionate fan for Saiyaara

A video that has surfaced on Reddit shows a man with an IV drip attached to his hand, watching a show of Saiyaara. His friends film his video while he wipes away a tear. Another video on the man's IG account shows him roaming around late at night on a deserted road, the IV still hanging from his wrist and the Saiyaara title track playing in the background. The man seems to be from Satara, Maharashtra, as he mentioned in the second video.

People on the internet were cringing at his ‘antics’. “Bhai bimar h tu Allha ko yaad kr saiyyara se kaam na chle (Bhai you are unwell. Think about God, not Saiyaara).” Another wrote. “Itni dedication 😂 movie ke liye hospital se uthkar chle gye (Such dedication that he left the hospital for this).”

A person on Reddit wrote, “Iss generation ke liye pani save karna is not worth it (It's not worth saving water for this).” “That's why I take shower when ever possible,” replied another.

“Indian youth is doomed,” declared a Redditor.

More videos are emerging of fans screaming, crying, and fainting in theatres during shows of Mohit Suri's latest film.
