Bollywood has long been known for its glittering romances, heroic showdowns, and happy endings. But behind the fairytales lies another world of cinema — one that embraces heartbreak, sacrifice, and stories that linger long after the credits roll.

One such film is Saiyaara, which struck a deep chord with audiences during its theatrical run. Starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, the film tells the emotional journey of Krish Kapoor and Vaani Batra, a couple tested by life’s cruel turns, including Vaani’s devastating Alzheimer’s diagnosis.

After winning hearts on the big screen, Saiyaara is now set for its digital premiere on September 12, 2025, on Netflix, giving fans another chance to relive its poignant storytelling.

The film’s mix of yearning, resilience, and unconditional love reminded viewers of some of Bollywood’s most unforgettable tragic romances. From classics to modern hits, these films show that love isn’t always about a fairytale ending — sometimes, it’s about the journey, no matter how painful.

With Saiyaara heading to OTT, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the stories that shaped this genre and continue to resonate with audiences across generations.
