Film trade analyst Komal Nahta is showering praise on the recently released romantic film 'Saiyaara,' featuring Ahaan Panday in the lead role. Nahta, renowned for his insights, attributes the film's colossal success post its theatrical release to its engaging narrative and stellar performances. Directed by Mohit Suri, known for 'Aashiqui 2,' and produced under the Yash Raj Films banner, the movie introduces debutant Aneet Padda opposite Ahaan Panday, cousin to actress Ananya Panday.
Initially anticipated as a moderate success, 'Saiyaara' surpassed expectations when it grossed an estimated Rs 400 crore globally, astounding both filmgoers and industry experts. Nahta drew parallels between 'Saiyaara' and Hrithik Roshan's debut hit 'Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai,' which similarly captivated audiences upon its 2000 release.
In a conversation with ANI, Nahta remarked on the film's exceptional appeal, stating it's one of the most electrifying movies from Bollywood in years. He attributes the buzz to the strategic release of its teaser and compelling music, which resonated profoundly with audiences. The teaser, he noted, took the nation by storm with its lead pair's charming portrayal and ensured a strong anticipation among viewers.
The film's build-up led to a significant opening, confirming Nahta's prediction of its blockbuster potential. Each released song was a hit, gradually cementing the audience's resolve to view the film. Nahta emphasized that the movie went beyond meeting high expectations, as proven by its massive box office success. He highlighted the superb chemistry between the lead actors, delightful music, and captivating scenes as key to the film's favorable reception.
'Saiyaara' continues to generate buzz not only for its financial success but also due to the audience reactions captured in theaters, with heartfelt responses going viral on social media. While some critiques speculate the reactions are post-promotional tactics, Nahta insists on their authenticity and shares he was moved to tears while watching the film.
As of the latest reports, 'Saiyaara' has grossed over Rs 404 crore, becoming the highest-grossing romantic Hindi film in India, surpassing Shahid Kapoor's 'Kabir Singh.' Yash Raj Films proudly announced this milestone via Instagram. (ANI)
