Saiyaara Movie Review: Karan Johar’s Bold Reply Breaks Internet

Saiyaara Movie Review: Bollywood’s biggest filmmaker, Karan Johar is in the news again – but this time not for a directing project but for an enthusiastic note on Instagram that celebrated the romantic drama Saiyaara. The article celebrating the performances from newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda and director Mohit Suri’s vision, created a bit of a stir – receiving both praise and opposition, and for Karan Johar to act in pure Bollywood fashion and respond quickly.

Karan Johar moved to tears at Saiyaara

The commercial filmmaker and self-proclaimed devotee of grand romance and emotional storytelling stated that Saiyaara was a movie that really touched him – and in his heartfelt note on Instagram, he stated,

“Tears flowing down my cheeks, but a bubbling joy… joy for the triumph of a love story on the cinematic canvas that united a country.”

He declared it was the best movie of Mohit Suri’s career and called it “great” to see an “old love story” banner resurfacing in Indian cinema. Karan Johar, who started work at Yash Raj Films exclaimed he felt proud to watch YRF make it happen and bring romance back to cinema.

Saiyaara’s music received special mention

In his note, Karan Johar acknowledged not simply the storytelling, but the music as well, calling it “a character in the film”.

“The music was not only a base but a character in this film,” he said, speaking to the extent to which the music deepened the narrative.

He praised the debut producer Aditi Chopra (aka @awidhani on Instagram) and the technical team, especially the editors and casting director Shanoo Sharma.

Both Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda make a strong first impression.

Karan especially praised the film’s lead actors — Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, who are both making their debut acting in Bollywood in Saiyaara.
“@ahaanpandayy!!!!!” You broke my heart while inspiring me as a filmmaker… “Your eyes said so much,” Karan said, calling him “amazing.”

Karan was equally impressed with Aneet Padda’s acting, declaring:

“Your quiet moments spoke volumes, and your openness and willingness to be vulnerable brought me to tears…” “You and Ahaan were both just magical! ”

Troll Calls Him “Nepo Kid Ka Daijaan” — Karan New Lion!

In spite of the accolades, there was a troll who commented to condemn Karan as personally biased, labelling him: “nanny to nepotism kids.” Johar was honest, responding immediately with:

“Chup ho jao!!!” Ghar pe reh kar negativity mat palte! In don bachon ka kaam dekho !! “Aur apne liye kuch ro!”

“Shut up!” Don’t foster negativity while you’re at home! “Watch these two children work hard and go do something productive!”

This response ignited the chatter on Bollywood forums, as well as on various social media platforms, only enhancing the excitement surrounding Saiyaara and Johar’s rollicking persona.

Supporters Rally Around Karan

While the troll definitely got attention, more importantly, most fans supported Karan’s very earnest message.

“You don’t have to call out nepotism every time”. “Badasses who are talented can still get credit,” a fan stated.

Another said, “Sometimes a movie comes like this … totally depressing but at the same time incredibly uplifting.”

Some fans even encouraged Karan to do a romantic film with Ahaan and Aneet, clearly touched by the chemistry and performances in Saiyaara.

Saiyaara’s Box Office Success

Even without franchise support and with two new people, Saiyaara has defied expectations at the box office. Directed by Mohit Suri, the romantic drama has made more than ₹83 crore locally according to Sacnilk.com. Its achievement comes without a festival release date or huge marketing hype, an uncharacteristic occurrence in today’s Bollywood environment.
