Saiyaara’s massive success caught everyone in surprise, including Yash Raj Films (YRF).
They didn’t fully believe in it, or they wouldn’t have released it so close to War 2 and wouldn't have also announced 1+1 ticket offer. But they released, suggesting YRF doubted Saiyaara’s potential. Now, its unexpected triumph has shaken their plans.
YRF’s strategy was clear initially; if Saiyaara flopped, War 2 would save the banner. But Saiyaara outperformed War 2’s expectations, putting YRF in a tough spot. They didn’t plan for this, and the success has raised the stakes for their next moves.
Now War 2 should be phenomenal success many times bigger than Saiyaara.
If War 2 fails, the spy universe could collapse. Shah Rukh Khan isn’t keen on Pathaan 2, Tiger 2 is struggling, and Alia Bhatt’s film lacks buzz. So War 2 success is crucial to bring everything on track.
Saying this, many netizens are also pointing out that the success of 'Saiyaara' is a one time lottery event and such miracles won't repeat again and again.
