Mahesh Babu’s review adds credibility to Saiyaara, lauds honest performances and directional finesse

Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu has joined the list of celebrities praising Mohit Suri’s latest directorial Saiyaara. The film, which stars newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, hit theatres on July 18 and has been drawing attention for its heartfelt storytelling and emotionally driven performances.

Mahesh Babu shared his thoughts after watching the film, posting on social media to appreciate the entire team. In his review, he wrote, “Take a bow #Saiyaara team… What a beautifully made film with honest storytelling, standout performances and top notch execution… Big love to #AhaanPanday & #AneetPadda for living their roles so effortlessly… This one deserves all the love coming its way.” His message also tagged the director and key team members, including YRF producer Akshaye Widhani and filmmaker Mohit Suri.

The actor’s post adds weight to the growing appreciation for Saiyaara, which has already found favour with several Bollywood celebrities. Alia Bhatt, too, shared a personal post on Instagram where she praised both lead actors and described them as “two beautiful, magical stars”. She also expressed admiration for Mohit Suri’s direction, noting how the film made her “feel things that only the movies can make you feel.”

Alia wrote, “You both shine with such individuality, such honesty — I could watch you again, and again, and again.” She also mentioned that she had already shared her thoughts with Ahaan and Aneet personally but felt the need to gush publicly again.

Saiyaara tells the story of Krish Kapoor (played by Ahaan Panday), a young singer chasing his dreams, and Vaani Batra (played by Aneet Padda), a passionate journalist. As their romance develops, the two characters face professional and personal struggles that test their connection. With a soundtrack that’s resonated with many, the film has struck a chord with younger audiences.

Backed by Yash Raj Films and directed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara combines emotion, music, and ambition. The positive reviews from both critics and celebrities seem to reflect its growing impact.
