The film ‘Saiyaara’ has taken the box office by storm, but not everyone is cheering. Reports are buzzing that its makers are paying people for fake emotional reactions. This wild claim has stirred up quite a fuss, and actress Tanishaa Mukerji has stepped in to shut it down.
Released on July 18, Mohit Suri’s ‘Saiyaara’ quickly became one of the biggest hits of the year. Starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, the film’s story has truly captivated young audiences. Videos of moviegoers showing strong emotions in theaters have gone viral. While many praise the film, some are raising eyebrows. This skepticism prompted Tanishaa Mukerji’s fierce reaction.
Are People Being Paid to Fake Emotions?
A YouTube channel called ‘The Barbershop with Shantanu’ made some bold claims. It suggested that all those emotional reactions seen in theaters are completely fake. The speaker accused the filmmakers of orchestrating these displays. He stated, “What is happening with this absurd ‘Saiyaara’ film? In my opinion, the producers of this film have paid many young people 500 rupees to go into cinemas and show emotional reactions by crying. This is how the film is being promoted.” It’s a shocking accusation that challenges the very heart of the film’s success.
Tanishaa Mukerji Hits Back
Tanishaa Mukerji was quick to call out these accusations, labeling them as pure negativity. She took to social media, writing, “Completely disagree. Times are changing, and these people are stuck in the past. Give love and praise to new people.” She didn’t hold back, adding, “This man is talking nonsense. Does he know anything about the film? He is gaining views by saying negative things under the pretext of ‘Saiyaara’.” Tanishaa questioned the motive behind such criticism. She argued, “If people like a film, what is wrong with that? Just because he cannot connect with it, it doesn’t mean the younger generation doesn’t feel a connection. Every generation is different.” Her message was clear: “We are saying go watch the film and see how the audience is affected, then talk. This is just Bollywood criticism!” Her words powerfully defended the film and its genuine appeal to viewers.
‘Saiyaara’ Continues to Shine at the Box Office
Despite the noise, ‘Saiyaara’ is doing incredibly well at the box office. In just 13 days since its release, the film has grossed over 286 crore rupees. Supported by Yash Raj Films, ‘Saiyaara’ has clearly built a strong connection with its audience. It seems the numbers speak louder than any online whispers about fake reactions.
