Ahaan Panday’s Saiyaara has become one of the most talked-about films of the year. Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Akshaye Widhani under the YRF banner, the musical romance became one of the best debuts Bollywood has seen for a while now. The worldwide total for Saiyaara concludes at Rs. 570.67 crore gross, making it the second-highest-grossing Bollywood film this year, after Chhaava. The film’s lead pair, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, earned widespread praise for their performances, making the project an instant fan favourite.
Saiyaara is the first YRF film to stream on Netflix
YRF has collaborated with Netflix before on digital projects such as The Romantics, The Railway Men, Maharaj, Vijay 69, and Mandala Murders. However, Saiyaara is the first YRF feature film to premiere on the streaming platform. Traditionally, YRF’s theatrical films were licensed to Amazon Prime Video, but this marks a new expansion of its OTT strategy. The movie’s end credits even feature Netflix branding, cementing the collaboration.
