Saiyaara is a film of many firsts. It marks the much-anticipated debut of Ahaan Panday and also the first time that Mohit Suri has teamed up with Yash Raj Films (YRF). It is also the first time that Akshaye Widhani has turned producer. And now, it has come to light that it is also the first theatrical release of YRF, which has Netflix as its OTT partner. #Saiyaara REVEALED: Saiyaara becomes the FIRST YRF film to stream on Netflix AFTER its unstoppable theatrical run The Netflix logo appears during the end credit song, making it clear that the streaming giant has come on board for the romantic, musical saga.

The first digital drop from this vertical was The Romantics.The docu-series premiered on Netflix on February 14, 2023 and honoured Yash Chopra and Yash Raj Films rich cultural legacy of 50 years. This was followed by The Railway Men the same year. Starring Kay Kay Menon, R Madhavan, Divyenndu and Babil Khan, the thrilling mini-series paid a tribute to the railway workers at Bhopal station, also the unsung heroes of the 1984 Bhopal gas tragedy. In 2024, YRF unveiled Maharaj , which marked the debut of Junaid Khan. The controversial courtroom drama also starred Sharvari, Jaideep Ahlawat and Shalini Pandey. In November, the slice-of-life sports film, Vijay 69 , starring Anupam Kher, arrived on the OTT platform and won hearts.

Earlier this year, at a grand Netflix event, YRF Entertainment announced that they have one more show in the offing, Akka , starring Keerthy Suresh, Radhika Apte and Tanvi Azmi. Coming back to Saiyaara , this Ahaan Pandey-Aneet Padda starrer continues to rule in cinemas and is all set to cross the Rs. 300 crore mark by the end of its third weekend. As it happens with any other Hindi theatrical release, the Netflix premiere of Saiyaara will not happen anytime soon, more so when the film is unstoppable at the box office.

Mohit Suris intense romantic drama Saiyaara , starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, will release this Friday, July 18, and trade expects it to have a surprise opening. The producers, Yash Raj Films (YRF), are also distributing the film and they informed all cinemas about the release strategy yesterday. #Saiyaara EXCLUSIVE: Yash Raj Films release strategy for Saiyaara REVEALED no show before 9:30 am, only 6 shows on release day, discounted ticket price for 9:30 am show to attract college students An exhibition source told , YRF has asked all the cinemas that the shows of Saiyaara should start from 9:30 am onwards. This means that theatres cant play shows very early in the morning. Secondly, theatres have been instructed that they cant play more than 6 shows on July 18. This particular directive, however, is applicable only for the day of release. From Saturday, July 19, theatres can play as many shows as they wish to. The source continued, To attract the youth, YRF has come up with two special initiatives. One is widely known, that is, if one uses the code SAIYAARA on BookMyShow, the patron can get a discount of 50%. This is valid on a minimum of 2 tickets and the discount will be up to Rs. 200. Thats not all. YRF has also told the theatres that the first show of the day, that is, the one at 9:30 am, should be specially priced to attract the college-going audience. YRF further said that the rest of the shows of the day should have the normal weekend rate. A trade expert commented, By having just six shows in a day, the occupancy will be higher in all shows. Also, India is a price-conscious country. As a result, the BookMyShow offer will entice people. Lastly, by having cheaper ticket rates in the morning, many would be enticed to go for the early show. In fact, using the 50% discount offer in the morning show will ensure that the youth can watch the film at a very dirt-cheap price. Earlier, morning shows used to be crowded by the under-25 population but this trend took a hit in many centres in the post-pandemic era. Hopefully, with Saiyaara , this trend will be reversed. Saiyaara is the second film in recent times that has come up with out-of-the-box release strategies to attract moviegoers. Last months hit, Sitaare Zameen Par , starring Aamir Khan, also followed certain interesting ideas like no show before 11:00 am and only four shows between 11:00 and 5:00 pm on release day.
