Saiyaara

"What could have been a bitter-sweet love story, and that's what the Mohit Suri film is clearly going for, is done in by its dialogue-heavy, inconsistent bits."

"Saiyaara ends up a bland rehash of old ideas served in an older bottle. The stylised glossy aesthetics, song placements and dreary mood sometimes can be found in Saiyaara, but with diminishing returns. The attempts at registering the fiery intensity and smoldering passion between the two fall flat as they merely recontextualize cinematic cliches and story beats with no innovation."

"This is yet another downer this year, with talented newcomers getting short shrift thanks to absurd and finally myopic filmmaking. The script is full of loopholes in logic, delivering a barrage of maudlin, melodramatic, synthetic emotions, and handles a serious issue like Alzheimer's in a very convenient and insensitive manner."
