Mohit Suri, the director of Aashiqui 2, would have been considered a top candidate for the Saiyaara box office. Since the release of Hrithik Roshan's debut film, Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, in 2000, this is the first time that a movie featuring newcomers like Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in this instance has received such positive feedback.

Saiyara, which was originally titled Aashiqui 3, is gradually gaining popularity among fans, mostly due to its music. If you enjoy Bollywood romantic musicals, get ready for a fun weekend by watching these titles on OTTplay Premium:

Bollywood musicals that are worth your time

Philaure

The sad story of how Diljit Dosanjh and Anushka Sharma's characters were split on their wedding day and have been looking for love ever since, even in their after-life, is wonderfully told in the film. It's not surprise that Din Shagna Da, one of the film's songs, is included in many wedding playlists.

Rock star

Prior to Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor's Aashiqui 2, Imtiaz Ali's Rockstar was the hip, new kid in this musical club. Jordan/Janardhan (Ranbir Kapoor), a fervent college student, pursued his affections for Heer (Nargis Fakhri) and encountered his worst self in the process. The film explored the full range of music, from Qawwali to pop, rock, and metal, while also addressing the unrequited love between Heer and Jordan.

Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai

From the love declaration in the title song Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai to the amazing dance motions to the tune of Lucky Ali's Ek Pal Ka Jeena, every song in Hrithik Roshan and Ameesha Patel's first movie, Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, told a tale. Because Hrithik's father Rakesh Roshan directed the film and his uncle Rajesh Roshan was the music director, the audience was enthusiastic about it. As one might expect, the film, which was released in Bollywood in 2000 and was based on Hrithik's actual love affair with his now ex-wife Sussanne Khan, did not let him down.

Zubaan

Zubaan is the tale of how a young and self-assured Dilsher, who dreams of pursuing a career in music, develops a speech issue but still manages to become a well-known musician. Vicky Kaushal plays the lead role in this underappreciated gem. Zubaan was the first mainstream Bollywood movie to premiere at the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), the largest film festival in Asia, and director Mozez Singh also won the Rising Director Award.

Pardes

From the moment Shah Rukh Khan's Arjun tells the story of his unrequited love through Zara Tasveer Se, to the revelation in Nahin Hona Tha, every song in Pardes has a story to tell about Ganga (Mahima Chaudhary)'s life before and after she was forced to marry Rajiv (Apurva Agnihotri). It's a musical voyage that delves into the intricacies of love and existence.
