Romance returns to the big screen as Yash Raj Films (YRF) teams up with director Mohit Suri for their latest release, “Saiyaara”, which is all set to hit theatres globally on July 18. Known for crafting emotionally intense love stories, Suri appears to be leaning into his signature storytelling style, while YRF provides its trademark cinematic scale.
From the promotional visuals, music previews, and behind-the-scenes snippets shared online, “Saiyaara” promises to be more than just a love story — it aims to reignite Bollywood’s romance genre in a post-action-dominated era.
What We Know About ‘Saiyaara’ So Far
Starring new-age heartthrob Ayaan Kapoor and rising actress Meher Qureshi, the film reportedly revolves around two lost souls from different worlds who meet in a coastal town and find themselves entangled in a journey of healing, heartbreak, and hope.
The trailer (released earlier this week) showcases sweeping visuals, classic Suri-style voiceovers, and an original soundtrack that already has fans humming the title track.
“This is my most personal film in years,” said Mohit Suri during a YRF event.
“Saiyaara isn’t about a perfect love. It’s about love that breaks you and then saves you.”
Music That Sets the Tone
In any Mohit Suri romance, music plays a central role — and Saiyaara is no different. The film’s soundtrack, composed by Mithoon and Arijit Singh lending his voice to the title song, evokes deep emotion and nostalgia. Early YouTube and Spotify reactions suggest the album may dominate romantic playlists this monsoon season.
The title song “Main Tera Saiyaara” has already crossed 10 million views, with lyrics focused on emotional vulnerability and second chances — a Suri hallmark.
My Take: Will It Work in 2025?
As someone who writes entertainment news and reviews for sbkinews.in, I’ve noticed how today’s audiences lean heavily toward thrillers, action flicks, and OTT-style content. In that environment, Saiyaara feels refreshingly bold.
Instead of chasing trends, YRF and Suri seem to be returning to what Bollywood once did best — emotional storytelling. If this film succeeds, it could revive faith in soulful cinema amidst an industry often obsessed with box office formulas.
Of course, it will depend on execution. Chemistry between leads, narrative depth, and relatability will decide whether Saiyaara becomes the next Aashiqui 2, or just another attempt at nostalgia.
Why This Film Is a Big Deal for Bollywood
YRF’s Brand Return to Romance: After recent genre experiments, this is a clear nod back to their legacy of romantic hits like Veer-Zaara and Mohabbatein.
The Return of Mohit Suri: Since Malang, Suri’s performance has been erratic. This film could re-establish him as the torchbearer of contemporary romance.
New Star Power: Casting fresh faces adds a sense of realism. Early audience surveys show strong interest in Ayaan and Meher’s debut pairing.
Global Release Strategy
YRF is releasing the film in over 25 countries, including UAE, UK, USA, Canada, and Australia — targeting both diaspora audiences and international film festivals. This global push reflects confidence in the film’s emotional universality.
