Strong box office collection in first two days

Saiyaara review
The Times of India praised the newcomers’ performances in Saiyaara. They said Ahaan Panday made a great debut, showing both the confident attitude of a future star and the emotional side needed later in the film. His best performance is in the finale, where he turns his earlier passion into deep feeling, similar to the energy of cricket star Virat Kohli. Aneet Padda also impressed with her romantic and emotional scenes. She has a gentle but strong presence on screen. One standout moment is a recording studio scene where she talks about how emotions in music last longer than temporary trends.
