The BoM Podcast - A Bollywood Podcast

Episode 4 - Saiyaara (2025)

Business of Mast Season 1 Episode 4

In this episode of The BoM Podcast, we dive into the biggest debut in Hindi cinema history — Saiyaara, starring Ahaan Pandey and Aneet Padda. We break down what made this film such a massive box office success, from the fresh performances to the music, direction, and the buzz around two newcomers making a splash in a big way. We explore how this film marks a refreshing shift in Bollywood — from its original music (no remakes here!) to Mohit Suri’s signature storytelling style that revives the lost art of the tragic love story.


We also talk about the pressure of debuting in the age of social media, how this film compares to other first-time hits, and whether Saiyaara lives up to the hype or rides on it. 


Is this the future of Bollywood? Or just a lucky start?


🎧 Press play for our honest thoughts, passionate takes, and some major 2000s romance nostalgia.
