It can be said that the entire country, including Kolkata, is on fire with the fever of the movie ‘Saira’ directed by Mohit Suri. The film took the box office by storm upon its release, setting precedents across the country as a successful commercial film. The director made this film with 2 newbie actors and actresses. Although newbies yet their acting skills are not considered for once they have just entered the film industry. Produced by Yash Raj Films, the film featured newcomers Aneet Padda and Ahan Pandey as actresses. Since the release of the film, the hall was full of audience from morning till night. It also happened that every audience went to the theater more than once and watched this movie. The audience was seen getting emotional while watching some scenes of the movie in the hall. Saara film is undoubtedly the biggest opening of this year. Many of the audience requested the producer and director to become Saira Too.
The film was not only a commercial success, but also helped to establish the two actors and actresses as one of the progressive actors and actresses of Bollywood.
When asked about the success of the film, the director said that while shooting the film, he also did not realize that the audience would like it so much. At times, some scenes and dialogues of the film work a magic. And this magic worked earlier too during his directorial film ‘Aashiqui 2’ (2013). At that time the audience was very much in love. However, he said, such feelings cannot be planned in advance. Expected something like that in ‘Hamari Adhuri Kahani’ (2015), but for some reason it didn’t work. Again in 2025, he got back love like Aashiqui through the film Saira.
Mohit Suri’s directorial Saara is not only a hit with the audience, but from other Bollywood directors to southern directors have called and congratulated Mohit Suri.
Mohit Suri said in an interview, Karan Johar personally called him to thank and congratulate him after the release of the movie ‘Saira’, when it received a huge response from the audience and garnered a lot of appreciation. Not only this, he hopes that successful films like ‘Saira’ will encourage Bollywood to create more wholesome and emotional love stories, while also making the audience more hallowed.
It is generally seen that Bollywood directors do not appreciate each other’s work. But here the exception happens through the film Saira. And it just so happened that Saara became a massive commercial success. Apart from Karan Johar, many southern film directors have congratulated Mohit Suri, the director also said.
Now let’s see if director Mohit Suri takes the audience and thinks of coming up with Saara 2.
