About Saiyaara
The film marks the first collaboration between director Mohit Suri and Yash Raj Films, under the banner of Aditya Chopra and producer Akshaye Widhani, also featuring Shan Grover in a negative role. Saiyaara is being applauded for its soulful music, performances, and emotional storytelling.
Despite clashing with Anupam Kher’s Tanvi The Great and Sonakshi Sinha’s Nikita Roy, Saiyaara seems to be holding its own, with strong word of mouth potentially giving it a significant edge over the weekend.
