The trailer introduces Ahaan Panday as Krish Kapoor, a passionate aspiring singer frustrated by the music industry’s obsession with “blue tick” influencers. His fiery confrontation with a music label head, where he declares, “Krissh Kapoor. Say the name,” sets the tone for his rebellious spirit. Aneet Padda plays Vaani, a sensitive yet fierce lyricist who becomes Krish’s creative muse. Their professional collaboration blossoms into a dreamy romance, filled with intimate moments and picturesque settings. However, the trailer takes a dramatic turn as conflicts arise, showcasing heartbreak, anger, and betrayal. A striking scene features Vaani threatening a tearful Krish with a knife, hinting at the emotional turmoil that defines their relationship.

Mohit Suri, known for crafting intense romances like Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villain, returns to the musical genre with Saiyaara. The trailer echoes the raw emotional depth of his earlier works, with fans on X noting its “Aashiqui-coded” vibes. Suri revealed he nearly abandoned the project due to doubts about finding debutants with sufficient acting caliber but was convinced by Ahaan and Aneet’s auditions. “I wouldn’t have made Saiyaara if I hadn’t found formidable actors like Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda,” Suri stated, praising their ability to convey emotional complexity.

Ahaan Panday, cousin of actress Ananya Panday, makes his Bollywood debut after six years of rigorous training under YRF’s mentorship. His portrayal of Krish blends vulnerability and defiance, drawing comparisons to Ranbir Kapoor’s Rockstar in some scenes. Aneet Padda, previously seen in Big Girls Don’t Cry and Salaam Venky, brings a fresh charm to Vaani, with her expressive performance earning praise. Social media buzz highlights their chemistry, with posts on X calling them “promising” and “cute.”

The trailer’s musical backdrop is a standout, featuring contributions from Mithoon, Sachet-Parampara, Tanishk Bagchi, Vishal Mishra, and Faheem Abdullah. Tracks like the chart-topping title song, Jubin Nautiyal’s Barbaad, and Arijit Singh’s Dhun amplify the emotional stakes. The background score, especially when the Saiyaara title track kicks in, has been lauded for giving “goosebumps” and enhancing the trailer’s impact.

The trailer’s strategic editing keeps plot details vague, building anticipation without revealing too much.
