Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s ‘Saiyaara’ claims top spot on Netflix’s top 10 non-English films – Firstpost

Love has never travelled this far, this fast. After creating history as the highest-grossing love story in Indian cinema, Saiyaara has now swept & claimed the #1 spot on Netflix’s Global Weekly Top 10 Non-English Films list. In only 3 days from launch, the film has stormed into the Top 10 charts across 15 countries (including Australia & Canada), clinching the #1 spot in nine of them.

Directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Akshaye Widhani, CEO of Yash Raj Films , the film starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda is more than a romance — it’s a symphony of music, miracles, and emotions that audiences everywhere are falling for. What India embraced on the big screen is now being celebrated across continents on Netflix, making Saiyaara a global anthem of love. Along with Hindi, the film is also available in Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Indonesian, Malay, Spanish, Thai and Zulu.

Streaming at #1 on Netflix’s Global Top 10 Non-English films, the film continues to capture hearts everywhere, proving that true romance always finds its audience.

Mohit Suri, music, and melancholy seem to be a match made in heaven. The filmmaker has completed 20 years in the industry and now sits on cloud nine amid the blockbuster success of his last directorial Saiyaara that stars two newcomers Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda.

In an interview with Subhankar Mishra, Suri revealed why he is not directing Awarapan 2 and Aashiqui 3. The filmmaker revealed he was never approached. “How can I make Aashiqui without Aditya and Shraddha? And remember, the film opened at Rs 3 crore, which wasn’t a huge number. But it became a cult film over time,” said the filmmaker.

He added, “Now, people want to use that brand name and make another film. But it’s more of a project now than a film, and I don’t know if I fit into this.”
