In Saiyaara, Ahaan Panday plays Krish, a passionate but impulsive singer-composer, while Aneet Padda stars as Vaani, a thoughtful journalist with a poetic soul. Their chemistry breathes life into a tale where music becomes memory, and love is tested by the invisible weight of mental health struggles.

Critics have lauded the film’s emotional intensity, with special appreciation for Irshad Kamil’s lyricism, particularly the haunting refrain “Saiyaara mera badla nahin hai, Mausam thoda badla hua hai” (My love, you haven’t changed, only the time has). The soundtrack, composed by a team of five musicians, steadily grows on the listener and adds weight to the narrative’s emotional core.

The film also challenges the Instagram generation’s understanding of connection and memory, raising the question: if we lose the emotional thread with a partner, can love still survive?

Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda have made a strong impression, signaling a promising start to their careers. Their performances, combined with Mohit Suri’s brooding romanticism and a stirring soundtrack, make Saiyaara a poignant watch.
