When, where to watch 'Saiyaara' on OTT?
What's the story
The musical romantic drama Saiyaara, starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has taken the box office by storm since its release on July 18, 2025. Amid its success, the film's makers are reportedly planning an OTT release on Netflix after a 90-day theatrical run. This would mean a delay from the earlier expected September 2025 digital debut.
Negotiations underway
Discussions are on between 'Saiyaara' team and streaming platform
The Times of India reported that the Saiyaara team is currently in discussions with Netflix to secure a 90-day theatrical window for Mohit Suri's directorial. This move would allow the Yash Raj Films production to fully capitalize on its box office success before making the transition to digital platforms. The film had originally been slated for an OTT debut after an eight-week successful run in theaters.

Saiyaara is a significant milestone for both Panday and Padda as it marks their debut as leads in Bollywood. It is produced under the banner of Aditya Chopra's Yash Raj Films and marks Suri's return to direction after a three-year hiatus since his last project Ek Villain Returns in 2022.
