Hansal Mehta lauds ‘Saiyaara’ following OTT release
Veteran filmmaker Hansal Mehta has shared a heartfelt review of Saiyaara, a new Hindi romantic film now streaming on Netflix.
Acknowledged for his intense, real-life dramas, Mehta bewildered fans by penning a long and emotional caption on social media, reflecting on the film’s themes, performances, and overall impact.
He opened his post with a confession,that he doesn’t necessarily watch the kind of films he makes. Or only the kind of films that people presume he would like. He is no cinema snob. That would make life so boring. So here goes his thoughts on a film he watched really late last night – thanks to jet lag.
The acclaimed director added, “Saiyaara reminds you why Bollywood once worked so beautifully. Get the emotions right. Get the music right. Get the timing, the quantity. Get the lead pair right. Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda are just that – young, fresh, utterly watchable. You simply cannot look away. The real “a star is born” unfolds here as you watch the young man stride gracefully and the lovely girl emote so effortlessly, while somewhere else another Aashiqui tries to unfold.
