About Saiyaara

Saiyaara revolves around the love that blossoms between a young musician named Krish Kapoor (Ahaan) and a shy journalist Vaani (Aneet) until fate plays spoilsport. The film's songs, especially the title track sung by Faheem Abdullah, have received immense praise from fans. Saiyaara—the title track—even entered the Spotify Global Top 50 charts after the film's release.

Several Bollywood stars came out on their social media accounts to praise the film. From Alia Bhatt to Shraddha Kapoor, Varun Dhawan to Ranveer Singh, Saiyaara was able to connect with the biggest names in the industry.

Veteran filmmaker Subhash Ghai pointed out, “When a new star-cast film creates a wave at the box office, it sends us a clear message to investors and producers not to make an overbudget film more than a good story needs—not to invest in main actors more than your production cost—no money spent on stars' whims—no extra spend on marketing stunts.”
