Yes, you heard right. Nearly 2 weeks after release and this emotionally destructive masterpiece is still ruling every cinema screen. And if you think you’ll casually walk into a theatre this weekend and get a ticket? Join the queue of heartbroken hopefuls.
Grab the tissues, grab your chai, and grab your emotionally unstable best friend – Saiyaara, starring Ahaan Panday & Aneet Padda, has taken over Mauritius, and no one is safe.
The Hype Is Real… And So is the Heartbreak
From the moment the trailer dropped, Mauritians collectively lost their minds (and probably their makeup). There were rumours, there were fan theories, there were people already sobbing on social media.
The title track “Saiyaara” alone had us staring dramatically out of windows like we’re in a 2010s Bollywood heartbreak montage. And now? With ₹502 crores at the worldwide box office, it’s safe to say the emotional chaos is global.
Then came release day. And oh boy. It wasn’t just a premiere – it was a nationwide emotional breakdown. And ever since then, the country has been in full-blown Saiyaara Syndrome. Symptoms include:
- Emotional damage from flashbacks of “that” scene
- That whole movie playlist? On loop. Constantly.
- A sudden need to text your ex (don’t do it)
The Real Hunger Games: Finding a Seat for Saiyaara
It’s been around TWO WEEKS and getting a seat is harder than finding parking in Port Louis. “Sold Out” has become the default setting on every cinema’s booking page. People are refreshing the cinema app like it’s Black Friday.
Cinemas have had to stack on extra sessions just to keep up. Evening shows? Doubled. Random Tuesday crying session? Absolutely.
Saiyaara Overrated? Not According to the Tears
People are leaving the cinema red-eyed, emotionally wrecked… and somehow still booking Saiyaara tickets for round two. Because hey, if you’re going to get heartbroken, might as well do it properly.
Of course, as they say, “There’s always an exception”. A few souls out there found Saiyaara overrated. Love it or not, one thing’s clear: everyone’s talking about it.
Join the Saiyaara Cult
The country is emotionally unstable, cinemas are running on overtime shifts, and tissue boxes are disappearing faster than spoilers on TikTok. If you’re lucky enough to grab a seat, brace yourself – this isn’t just a movie, it’s a full-blown emotional experience.
