Emerging Negative Critiques
While there’s a lot of good word for it, “Saiyaara” has also gotten its fair share of flak for its bit too, though from one particular section of the audience hungry for something more than melodrama. Some critics of social media have complained that while the movie is excellent in the emotional and music aspects, the plot sometimes was a little too on the predictable scale or less layered than other dramas one has watched lately. Many reviews indicate that the plot will progress slowly in some areas, especially for viewers who do like faster-storytelling dramas. There are also grievances about the rationalization of certain character choices with some of them having certain emotional reactions or parts of the story somewhat excessive for the purposes of drama.
These kinds of compliments such as “Pretty music, but the story was a bit recycled” or “Hope the screenplay had a few surprises” have been noted in the compliments. A minority movement has also intimated probable thematic reduplications with traditional romantic films, and this has raised controversies about originality. Nonetheless, even such negative comments are typically followed by an admission of the some emotional power and musicality of the film, which suggests that even its critics grant it its mass popular appeal.
#Saiyaara didn’t work for me. It lacks memorable performances or songs, and the love story feels disconnected from today’s generation. If this is how love is portrayed now, it’s honestly a bit disappointing. #Review #bollywood pic.twitter.com/3u0xWnGYs8
