While you ask what has worked for ‘Saiyaara’ despite no star pull or negligible promotions, let us tell you that the film is working purely on word-of-mouth. Not just the box office, the romantic drama has also been winning the internet with memes, viral reels, debates and discussions.
‘Saiyaara’ is the story of a rising singing sensation, Krish Kapoor (Panday), who falls in love with is songwriter, Vaani Batra (Padda). But, like in any relationship, everything feels good until it doesn’t.
The film is backed by soul-stirring music by Tanishk Bagchi, Mithoon, Sachet-Parampara, Vishal Mishra, Faheem Abdullah and Arslan Nizami. The songs are personally handpicked by Suri over the period of five years.
‘Saiyaara’ has revived a whole genre of cinema for the younger generation, and Bollywood seems to be dancing to its tunes.
