Aamir Khan explains why Gen Z is obsessed with Ahaan Panday‑Aneet Padda starrer Saiyaara: ‘Har group ka ek taste hota hai’”

How do you define a Gen Z anthem?
Well, Aamir Khan might have a few opinions.

With Saiyaara smashing records and streaming playlists alike, there’s clearly something more at play here than just a romantic film doing well. As Aamir himself said at a recent event for his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par, Saiyaara isn’t just a love story anymore — it’s become evolution.

Why? Because Gen Z doesn’t fall for clichés. They want emotion that feels real, stories that challenge tradition, and characters who love loudly, mess up, heal, and still move forward. Saiyaara hits that nerve. It’s messy, melodic, and magnetic — just like the generation that made it a blockbuster. Aamir pointed out that every generation has its own vibe, and Saiyaara just understood Gen Z’s. That bittersweet tug of love, rebellion, and introspection? Wrapped in soulful music and performed by two fresh, relatable leads? Yeah, that’s the kind of content that sticks.

And even though it outperformed Sitaare Zameen Par at the box office (Rs 220 crore and counting!), Aamir had nothing but praise. In his words — stories like this prove that cinema is shifting, and creators need to evolve with it. Not away from older audiences, but towards a wider, more emotionally aware viewership.

So is Saiyaara a Gen Z anthem?
Absolutely.
Because it's not just a film they watched — it’s a film they felt. **This news was published on Times of India on 30th July, 2025.
