Saiyaara is said to be inspired by Korean movie A Moment to Remember that was released on 2004. A Moment to Remember had also received a massive praise for its sensitive portrayal of love and memory.
Directed by John H. Lee, the Korean movie revolves around Su-jin (Son Ye-jin) and Chul-soo (Jung Woo-sung), whose relationship is tested by Su-jin’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis.
On the other hand, Saiyaara revolves around a struggling and high on temper musician named Krish Kapoor and a journalist Vaani Batra. They both fell in love with each other. However, Vaani Batra gets diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and from that point everything changes.
As per US National Library of Medicine, Alzheimer’s in youths is rare. However, early- or young-onset dementia, including Alzheimer’s, does occur under 65 and its burden is rising globally.
Studies estimate hundreds of thousands of younger-onset cases in the U.S. and millions worldwide in ages 40–64, with Alzheimer’s as the most common subtype.
As per US National Library of Medicine, Early‐onset Alzheimer's disease and other dementias (EOAD), cases reached 7.75 million (95% uncertainty interval [UI] 5.82–10.08), up from 3.67 million cases (95% UI 2.75–4.76) in 1990.
In short, the global number of EOAD cases among adults aged 40–64 years more than doubled from 1990 to 2021. Targeted strategies and interventions are urgently needed to address this growing public health issue.
