Saiyaara was released July 18, 2025 in theaters and it took India by storm. Despite the presence of two new comers in the movie, Saiyaara successfully managed to get major footfall in theaters. In fact, Saiyaara has been turned into a sensation on social media be it for good or be it for trolling reasons.
Directed by Mohit Suri who has previously made movies like Aashiqui 2, Ek Villain, etc. It features Ahaan Panday as Krish Kapoor, Aneet Padda as Vaani Batra, and more in the leading roles.
Amid the massive box office success, fans on social media are not happy with Mohit Suri. Multiple users on X are sharing videos and pictures accusing Saiyaara of copying from critically-acclaimed Korean movie titled- A Moment to Remember.
For the unversed, A Moment to Remember was released on 2004 and it 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.
