"This is your best film not because it has made the most money but coz it's the purest film - Milap Zaveri"

Mumbai, Oct 7

Filmmaker Milap Zaveri recently opened up about Mohit Suri’s directorial “Saiyaara,” calling it his best work to date.

In his latest post on Instagram, Zaveri shared his thoughts on what makes the film stand out in Suri’s impressive filmography. Sharing a poster of the film, he wrote a heartfelt note saying he wanted to kick himself for missing it in cinemas. The ‘Marjaavaan’ director wrote, “Finally saw the film of the year #Saiyaara and want to kick myself for missing it in cinemas! There is nothing left to say about its brilliance that the entire world hasn’t said already. But I’ll still try! @mohitsuri you have crafted pure Love!.”

Milap added, “This is your best film not because it has made the most money but coz it’s the purest film that you have made from your heart. @ahaanpandayy you were born to be a star. And thus you now are! Your performance rips the heart apart and then mends it! Your eyes speak volumes be it love, pain, rage or dreams! What a fucking performance! @aneetpadda_ You define the word vulnerable, talent, beauty, and innocence!.”

"To pull off such a complicated role with such effortless ease so early in your career is unbelievable! @awidhani @sumanaghoshs @yrf take a bow for giving @mohitsuri the freedom to make HIS film the way HE wanted to! This is a masterpiece and he is surely a master! Huge congratulations to the entire team!!!.”

‘Saiyaara’ starred debutant Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in lead roles. Released on July 18, the film went on to become the second highest-grossing Hindi film of 2025 and the top-grossing Indian romantic film of the year. Backed by Yash Raj Films, the movie draws loose inspiration from the 2004 Korean classic “A Moment to Remember.”

While I enjoyed the film, I think Milap is being a bit too generous here. Ek Villain and Aashiqui 2 were much better in my opinion. The debutants were good but not exceptional. Just my two cents! 🤔

Ahaan Panday is such a revelation! His eyes truly convey so much emotion. YRF has discovered another star. Can't wait to see what he does next. The music was also beautiful - perfect for rainy evenings! 🌧️

Saw it with my family and we all loved it! Such a pure love story that reminds you of old-school romance. Aneet Padda was so natural and fresh. More films like this please! Bollywood needs this kind of content. 🙏

Interesting to see it's inspired by a Korean film. The adaptation was done really well for Indian audiences. The cultural elements blended seamlessly. Good to see Indian cinema embracing international stories while keeping our essence.
