After creating waves at the box office, Saiyaara—the romantic drama featuring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda is now ready to make its digital debut. The film, which has already cemented its place as one of the highest-grossing movies of 2025, is reportedly set to premiere on Netflix on September 12.
While Yash Raj Films (YRF) and Netflix have not officially announced the streaming date yet, the buzz began when Shanoo Sharma, YRF’s renowned casting director, reshared a post on Instagram that confirmed the Netflix release. The post didn’t go unnoticed—especially after Deanne Panday, Ahaan’s mother, dropped a string of heart emojis in response, further fueling excitement among fans.
Directed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara has been a runaway success since its theatrical release. With a worldwide collection of ₹517 crore, including ₹373 crore in India alone, the film stood strong even against stiff competition from other major releases like Son of Sardaar 2 and Dhadak 2. In fact, it’s currently the second-highest grosser of 2025, just behind Chaava, the historical epic starring Vicky Kaushal.
What makes Saiyaara special is its blend of emotional storytelling and relatable modern themes. The film follows the journey of Krish Kapoor, a passionate musician played by Ahaan Panday, and Vaani Batra, an ambitious journalist portrayed by Aneet Padda.
With its Netflix premiere reportedly locked in for September 12, Saiyaara is expected to reach an even wider audience—especially those who missed it in theaters. Given the film’s popularity among younger viewers and its strong word-of-mouth buzz, the OTT release could easily replicate its theatrical success in the digital space.
Fans are already flooding social media with excitement, with many eager to relive the chemistry between the leads and the film's soulful soundtrack. Netflix’s platform will also make it accessible to international viewers, further broadening Saiyaara’s global reach.
Much of the film’s success can be attributed to Ahaan Panday’s surprising debut. Far from being just a star kid stepping into the limelight, Ahaan underwent three years of intensive acting training. He also worked behind the scenes as an assistant director on The Railway Men during the pandemic, gaining hands-on experience before stepping in front of the camera.
As the countdown begins for Saiyaara’s digital premiere, it’s safe to say the film has already made a lasting impression. Whether you're watching it for the first time or returning for an encore, Saiyaara on Netflix promises to bring the same emotional depth and cinematic charm—this time, right to your living room.
