Man Screams, Collapses During 'Saiyaara' Screening; Viral Video Sparks Online Debate
Another fan seen watching the film with an IV drip attached, prompting mixed social media reactions.
Mohit Suri’s latest romantic drama Saiyaara, featuring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, continues to stir emotional waves among audiences, but a recent viral video has taken the internet by storm for its dramatic content. In the footage, a shirtless man is seen screaming, hitting himself, and eventually collapsing inside a cinema hall during the screening of the film’s emotional title track. The video shows him pounding his chest and falling to the ground as others in the audience scream in the background.
The scene, reportedly captured during a packed screening, has shocked viewers online. Social media platforms were flooded with reactions ranging from concern to criticism and speculation.
Another viral clip, originally posted on Reddit and later picked up by Filmfare’s Instagram page, shows a visibly unwell fan watching the film with an intravenous drip attached to his hand. The young man, accompanied by friends, appears deeply moved as he clutches the saline stand next to his seat. A separate video from the same individual’s Instagram account shows him walking across an overbridge with the IV drip still hanging from his arm, set to the film’s title song for added emotional effect.
The intensity of the fan reactions has led to mixed commentary online.
One user remarked, “Bhai bimar hai tu, Allah ko yaad kar, Saiyaara se kaam na chale,” questioning the extreme dedication.
Another wrote, “Itni dedication? Hospital se uth kar film dekhne aa gaya?”
While some took a humorous tone, others expressed concern over prioritizing a movie over one’s health.
There is also speculation that the incidents could be part of a publicity campaign. Some users labelled it a “paid PR stunt” aimed at building hype around the film’s success. However, no official confirmation has been given by the makers of Saiyaara.
Despite the online debate, Saiyaara continues its successful run, with strong audience turnout and growing emotional fan engagement. Whether these extreme displays are genuine or orchestrated, they have undeniably added another layer to the film’s growing cultural footprint.
