Saiyaara Movie Review: Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara is nothing that we haven’t seen before. In fact, thematically, in parts, it bears a striking resemblance to two of his earlier directorial outings, Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villain. At the same time, it may also remind you a little of Rahul Roy and Anu Aggarwal’s cult classic, Aashiqui. It almost steers towards the 50 First Dates zone as well. So, is there anything original about this script that revolves around a budding rockstar and a sweet innocent girl as star-crossed lovers? Yes and no.
Saiyaara tells the tale of Krish Kapoor and Vaani Batra. The film opens with Vaani waiting at the marriage registration office waiting for her boyfriend, Mahesh Iyer, to arrive. With hope in her eyes and love in her heart, she opens her diary that has pictures of them with beautiful notes attached. But a phone call from him changes everything. He informs her that he has to fly out to the USA for a business deal and that he has fallen in love with someone else and hence, can’t marry Vaani. It breaks her heart and the already shy and reticent girl further retreats into a shell.
