Alia Bhatt Praises Saiyaara After Screening: “What a Film, Two Stars Are Born”

Alia Bhatt Showers Praise on Saiyaara: ‘Two Stars Are Born.’

Alia Bhatt is the latest celebrity to be swept away by Saiyaara, the debut film of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. The actor took to Instagram on Saturday to pen a heartfelt note after watching the Mohit Suri directorial, calling it a film “full of heart, full of soul” and declaring that “two beautiful, magical stars are born.”

Sharing a behind-the-scenes image of director Mohit Suri with the film’s lead pair, Alia wrote:

“It’s safe to say… two beautiful, magical STARS are born ✨✨✨✨ @aneetpadda_ @ahaanpandayy — I don’t remember the last time I looked at two actors with such awe. With stars in my eyes… watching the stars in yours. You both shine with such individuality, such honesty — I could watch you again, and again, and again. (And let’s be honest… I probably will.) I’ve already gushed to you both individually — but clearly, once was not enough. So here I am. Gushing. Again.”

‘What a film. What feeling. What music’
Alia didn’t stop at praising the performances — she also lauded the film’s direction and emotional depth. “To the captain of this very wonderful ship @mohitsuri — what a film. What feeling. What music!!!!!!!! You made me feel things that only the movies can make you feel,” she wrote.

“Saiyaara is full of heart, full of soul, full of something that just stays with you… in the best way. To the entire team, to @yrf — congratulations on this beautiful creation. This isn’t just a film. It’s a moment. And I’m so glad I got to feel it 💛☀️,” Alia added.

Reacting to the post, Aneet Padda wrote in the comments, “You’re my hero, always have been. Ever since I can remember. Thank you. The beauty that you are.”

A Record-Breaking Debut
Released under the YRF banner and produced by CEO Akshaye Widhani, Saiyaara has stormed the box office. The film raked in ₹21 crore on its opening day — the highest ever for a Hindi film headlined by debutant actors and among the top openers of the year.

Directed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara marks a significant moment for both its stars and the production house, signaling the arrival of fresh talent and striking a strong emotional chord with audiences and critics alike.
