Love stories are made in heaven. There is someone there for everyone. Your heart will know when you will meet right. And there is nothing like that feeling when you are in the presence of someone who forgets you the world.

An entire generation grew up and taught above, learning and doing love, shaped by grand cinematic moments, which felt more imagination than the fact. And when there is happiness in that escapeism, ‘Sera’ dared to bring love to earth. Somewhere between the rawness and vulnerability of the latest Bollywood faces – Ahaan Pandey and Anit Padda – you feel a connection that seems real.

Let’s set the record straight: ‘Saira’ does nothing that you have not seen before. But in parts, it seems different – especially because it accepts and tries to fix a generation raised when the heart breaks. If Naina felt like a betrayal while leaving Aman, or if Rahul Jayakar’s suicide crushed you, ‘Siara’ makes a promise: if it is not good yet, it is not an end.

Directed by Mohit Suri, it follows the story of Rising singer Krish Kapoor (Pandey) and his lyricist, Vani Batra (Padda). Both meet, start working together, fall in love and, like any relationship worth its salt, is tested by the tide. As Krish climbs stardom, Vani wrestles with his fight.

The film overshadows its intimate soundtrack, offering a hit after the hit, but it also gives enough space to shine both Padada and Pandey. Suri painted her cinematic canvas with a bold stroke of drama, spirit, love, loss and hope. And each color is tall.

Pandey is a star, from the first scene, even when he reminds you of Ranveer Singh from your early days. And Padda, a complete happiness to see. While both have space to grow as artists, together they command the screen with a chemistry that is warm, electricity and depth. Honestly, I do not remember that the last time Bollywood brought such packed chemistry on-screen that intensifies your heart race. Their shared silence speaks more as their dialogues, and even when the script stumbles, their bonds together keep the story together.

‘Siara’ is also the love story of today’s generation which has all its noise, her silence, her broken edges and her delicate expectations. This carries the ability to pull the young audience back to theaters – not with the spectacle, but with some more permanent: spirit. The magic of its music lifts the story, wraps in a melody every moment, while the chemistry between the lead sisles on the screen.

Writers Shankalap Sadanh and Rohan Shankar have created a world that reflects the internal battle of an entire generation – the war between ambition and anxiety, love and loneliness, wanted it to live in a big way, deal with unresolved stress with parents, and through all, through all, all are craving for a moment. A moment of love. A moment of selfless peace.

‘Siara’ lets you see yourself in its heart break and small victory. It speaks a language. Many young hearts know very well.

The only real defect of the film is in its familiarity. The story feels that we have gone a way before. The story is not new, dilemmas are not unheard. But perhaps this is also the case – it is not trying to become a new love story. It is probably trying to become a love story. Perhaps this is enough.

Is it worth appreciating ‘Siarra’, it is a depiction of a weak male hero. Bollywood has long been glory of anger, ego, armor of their heroes. But unlike Krish Kapoor, he cries, waits, and he lets go. He hurts in silence. He feels deeply, as the heroines once in classic cinema. In one scene, he is furious and furious on the edges, and is scattered and craving in the next.

‘Siara’ does not promise the best love story or the most dazzling performance. But it holds your hand, sings your broken heart, and walks with you for a while. It is entertaining, emotional and music – a cinematic piece where flaws appear, but such a heart.

Also, in the end – welcome, Ahaan Pandey! You look like you are for films.
