Bollywood’s latest box office hit Saiyara, featuring Ahan Panday and Anit Padda, has earned an impressive ₹507 crore within just 18 days of release. But alongside its commercial success, the film is drawing attention for a different reason — its story appears to closely resemble the popular Korean film A Moment to Remember.The emotional core of Saiyara and several of its key scenes are being compared to the Korean classic, which follows a poignant love story centered around a young couple coping with early-onset memory loss. The similarities in tone, structure, and character arcs have sparked conversation among cinema fans and critics, who see it as more than just a coincidence.This isn’t the first time Bollywood filmmaker Mohit Suri has faced similar scrutiny. His previous films have also been noted for drawing heavily from Korean cinema. Ek Villain was widely believed to be influenced by I Saw the Devil, a Korean thriller revolving around a serial killer and the themes of vengeance. Similarly, Suri’s intense drama Awarapan is thought to mirror the narrative of A Bittersweet Life, which delves into the life of a conflicted gangster. Murder 2, another film linked to Suri, has often been referred to as an Indian version of The Chaser, where a former cop hunts down a serial killer, much like the storyline of the Korean original.While Bollywood has a long-standing tradition of unofficial remakes and adapted storylines, the increasing accessibility of international content means that audiences are quicker to spot similarities. This growing awareness has brought more attention to questions about originality, inspiration, and the fine line between tribute and imitation.Despite the ongoing debate, Saiyara continues to attract audiences, largely due to its emotional storytelling and strong performances. However, the conversation around its resemblance to A Moment to Remember adds complexity to its legacy and reflects a broader shift in how Indian audiences engage with global cinema. As film industries continue to influence each other across borders, the call for transparency and acknowledgment of sources is becoming louder than ever.
