Saiyaara (2025) Review: Mohit Suri’s Newcomer Musical, Familiar Heartbreak

Is Saiyaara worth watching?

Only if the songs or the newcomer pairing specifically appeal. It earns a 58% Celluloid Score from editorial rating (64), Metascore (54), Letterboxd (3.2/5), and IMDb (6.4/10). The 68% audience snapshot is display-only and is not in the composite. Hindi titles get our reliability pass: Letterboxd and Metascore are weighted above IMDb so fan campaigns cannot inflate the composite.

Mohit Suri’s Hindi romance runs 150 minutes. We index it on the Hindi hub because 2025 “new Bollywood couple” searches need an honest page, not a hype score.

Two artists, one template

Contrasting worlds, a deepening bond, age and circumstance as obstacles: Suri has directed this emotional weather before (Aashiqui 2’s shadow is long). The newcomers are game; the film is less interested in the music industry than in close-ups of almost-kissing.

Scores without a campaign

Editorial 64 and Letterboxd 3.2 look like Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’s cousin, and the 58% composite after the reliability pass is the same verdict: playlist first, movie second.

Verdict

A watchable romance, not a must. If you want Hindi music-world heartbreak with more voltage, the Aashiqui 2 lineage is still the reference. Movie page.
