Alia Bhatt penned a heartwarming note for Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda after their debut film, Saiyaara, released in theatres. “It’s safe to say… two beautiful, magical STARS are born,” was how her note began. She continued, “@aneetpadda_ @ahaanpandayy — I don’t remember the last time I looked at two actors with such awe.” She added, “With stars in my eyes… watching the stars in yours. You both shine with such individuality, such honesty — I could watch you again, and again, and again. (And let’s be honest… I probably will.) I’ve already gushed to you both individually — but clearly, once was not enough. So here I am. Gushing. Again.” “To the captain of this very wonderful ship @mohitsuri — what a film. What feeling. What music!!!!!!!! You made me feel things that only the movies can make you feel. Saiyaara is full of heart, full of soul, full of something that just stays with you… in the best way,” the actor wrote, hailing director Mohit Suri. “To the entire team, to @yrf — congratulations on this beautiful creation. This isn’t just a film. It’s a moment. And I’m so glad I got to feel it,” she concluded. Take a look: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Alia Bhatt ?

News18 Showsha rated the film with 3.5 out of 5 stars. An excerpt from our review read: “But what truly elevates the screenplay is the scintillating chemistry between the lead pair. Mohit taps into the rawness and naivety of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda and weaves a story with a beating heart. Saiyaara isn’t experimental, it isn’t novel and it isn’t spiffy but it has a lot of heart. Ahaan as Krish does a fantastic job. What an incredible debut! He delivers an act that can make even the experienced and seasoned envious.” Meanwhile, Saiyaara broke records by earning Rs 21.25 crore on Day 1. The film hit the screens on July 18, 2025, in theatres worldwide, without much promotions.
