Mohit Suri’s recent film, Saiyaara, starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has been a surprise blockbuster, captivating audiences and challenging the notion that only films with superstars can succeed at the box office. After its successful theatrical run, fans are now eagerly awaiting its release on a digital streaming platform.
The film, which hit theaters on July 18, has reportedly surpassed the ₹500 crore mark globally and has been a major commercial success, earning praise for the lead actors’ performances, Suri’s direction, and its soundtrack. Given this phenomenal success, there has been widespread speculation about when and where the film will make its digital debut.
There hasn’t been an official word from the film’s production company, Yash Raj Films (YRF), or the streaming service Netflix, but a recent post on social media has sent fans into a frenzy. Shanoo Sharma, YRF’s casting director who is part of the Saiyaara team, re-shared a social media post that suggested the film will be available to stream on Netflix on September 12. The post has gone viral, with fans celebrating the tentative date.
Adding to the authenticity of the buzz, Ahaan Panday’s mother, Deanne Panday, also commented on the viral post with a series of red heart emojis, further fueling the speculation.
However, conflicting reports have also emerged. Some sources suggest that due to the film’s continued strong performance in theaters, the makers are in talks with Netflix to extend the theatrical window to 90 days. This could mean that the digital release will happen around the same time as the Diwali holiday, which is in late October this year.
The movie’s official streaming partner is Netflix. While the September 12 date is being widely discussed, the official release date will ultimately be decided by the producers based on the film’s continued box office performance.
For now, fans of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s romantic drama will have to wait for an official announcement to know for sure when they can watch the blockbuster from the comfort of their homes.
