💔Saiyaara X — An Emotional Rollercoaster You Didn’t Know You Needed
Some films hit you in the first five minutes—not because of loud drama, but because they quietly pull at your heartstrings. Saiyaara X is exactly that kind of film. With Ahaan Pandey stepping into Bollywood for the first time, this romantic musical manages to feel fresh yet deeply nostalgic.
And yes, comparisons with Aashiqui 2 are not just fair—they’re actually a compliment.
🌧️That Familiar Pain We Loved (And Feared) in Aashiqui 2
If you’re someone who still gets goosebumps when “Tum Hi Ho” plays, Saiyaara X might stir up those old emotions. The storyline follows a young musician struggling to balance fame, love, and inner demons—sounds familiar, right?
But Saiyaara X doesn’t copy. It builds on that heartbreak blueprint and adds a new-age layer of impulsiveness, messiness, and vulnerability that feels more raw and relatable.
🌟Ahaan Pandey – Not Just Another Star Kid
Let’s be honest: when a new face arrives in Bollywood, especially from a known family, expectations are sky-high—and criticism even higher. But Ahaan Pandey surprises everyone by keeping it simple and sincere.
He doesn’t overdo it. His strength lies in his stillness, in the way his eyes speak louder than his words. The pain he portrays doesn’t feel acted—it feels lived.
You don’t root for the hero. You worry for him.
🎶The Soul of the Film – Its Music
In movies like this, music isn’t just background—it’s the narrator. And Saiyaara X delivers one beautiful track after another. The soundtrack already feels like something you’ll keep revisiting after midnight on your playlist.
Top picks:
- “Saiyaara Reprise” – Heartbreak in its purest form
- “Raaz Tere Mere” – A secret-laced duet you’ll hum without realizing
- “Toota Hua Khwab” – Breakup anthem for anyone who’s still healing
💬What People Are Saying
Scroll through social media, and you’ll notice a pattern: everyone’s feeling this film.
“Aashiqui 2 walked so Saiyaara X could run.”
“Didn’t expect to cry in a Gen Z love story, but here we are.”
“Ahaan Pandey has that old-school sadness Bollywood was missing.”
Critics aren’t far behind either—many are calling it one of the most emotional debuts in recent years.
🎬Direction That Lets Emotion Breathe
Debut director Tanya Khanna plays it smart. She doesn’t overcrowd the film with unnecessary noise. Instead, she gives space for silence, longing glances, and the kind of emotional pacing that lets the heartbreak sink in.
Cinematography also plays a big role—muted colors, rain-lit streets, and dim-lit music studios build the perfect heartbreak vibe.
📝Final Thoughts
Is Saiyaara X a perfect film? No.
But is it an honest, vulnerable, and deeply emotional ride? Absolutely.
In a world full of fast-paced rom-coms and forced chemistry, this film dares to take it slow—and that’s exactly why it works. Ahaan Pandey doesn’t try to impress; he just feels, and that’s rare.
⭐️ Final Rating: 4/5
Watch it if you miss old-school heartbreak stories, poetic songs, and characters who feel more broken than perfect.
