Ahaan Panday’s movie, Saiyaara has been winning hearts of the Hindi cine-lovers since the time it was released. Everyone in the industry and every cinephile has been going gaga over this movie, which marked the debut of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. Both the debutants garnered a lot of praise from the cinephiles. Reportedly, the movie has collected a total of Rs. 45.75 crores in two days of its release.
Is Saiyaara a copy of the Korean film A Moment To Remember?
Well, amid the roaring success of the film, people have claimed that the movie is a Hindi adaptation of the famous Korean film, A Moment To Remember. Amid this, let’s check where these two movies match each other and where they differ from each other. While it’s true that there are some similarities between the two movies, A Moment To Remember and Saiyaara, the second one isn’t at all copied. A Moment To Remember was released back in 2004, and it continued to win hearts all over.
It also had its fair share of global audience, gushing over it forever. Talking about people’s claims that the movie is a copy of the Korean film, A Moment To Remember, while some plots, like the lead actress having Alzheimer’s disease, are similar to the heroes’ lives and more. But while in the Korean film, the lead actress left the hero’s life in an announcing way, it didn’t happen in Mohit Suri’s film. In Saiyaara, there are no class issues, which was somewhat the main plot of the Korean film, A Moment To Return. The lead actresses in both movies had certain issues tied to their ex-boyfriends, but in YRF’s film, it was shown with much impact.
Mohit Suri’s directorial has been winning hearts not just for the plot or so, but also for the electrifying romance embedded within it, which got heightened by the touch of music. As Saiyaara deals with the lead actress’s Alzheimer’s disease, people linked it to the much-loved Korean film, A Moment To Remember, and while it’s similar in some parts, it’s not a complete copy of the 2004 movie.
Salaries of the Saiyaara cast
Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda did proper justice to their roles as debutants and grabbed all the attention. Unlike other times, this time a celeb-kid who debuted got praised rather than being criticised. Talking about the salaries of the movie, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, while the exact budget is not disclosed, as per the reports, debutants of YRF get paid around Rs. 3-5 crore.
It’s worth mentioning that Ahaan comes from a glamorous background, so his paycheck would possibly be heavier than Aneet’s, again, not confirmed. While the movie has already grossed crores, and the responses from the audience have been pretty amazing, the exact budget of the movie isn’t known. However, a report by DNA claimed that the movie was made on a budget of Rs. 35-40 crore.
