Reels Gone Wild: From Cinemas to Social Media Stardom

At this point, social media is a Saiyaara meme fest. Fans are churning out reels faster than you can say “emotional damage.” One video captures a shirtless dude dancing in a theater, turning it into a full-on concert vibe.

X users are having a field day, with tweets like, warning of “dard bhari reels” and begging folks to avoid multiplexes to dodge the virus. Reddit’s buzzing too, with one user gushing, “The story is soo good, I was crying like crazy!” Meanwhile, others shade the frenzy, saying, “Indian youth is doomed.” Love it or hate it, Saiyaara’s got everyone hooked.

Mohit Suri’s Magic or Mass Hysteria?

Director Mohit Suri has fans in chokehold with his signature heartbreak-and-harmony formula, of course we can’t forget his, Aashiqui 2. But their rumours on X claim Saiyaara could be a sly remake of a Korean movie, A Moment to Remember. But fans don’t care, they’re too busy passing out and bawling their eyes out in the theatre. With a grand opening of Rs 21.25 crore on day one, this virus isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
