In this episode of THR Buzz, host Justin brings together two of the most respected and outspoken film exhibitors in India - Akkshay Rathie and Vishek Chauhan. The trio dives deep into the phenomenal box office success of 'Saiyaara', the Yash Raj Films romantic drama that has taken the nation by storm with newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. They analyze how this love story managed to gross over ₹400 crores worldwide, becoming the second highest-grossing Hindi film of 2025, while comparing its impact to iconic debuts like Hrithik Roshan in 'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai'.

The conversation spans multiple fascinating topics including the evolution of stardom in post-COVID Bollywood, the surprising success of animated film 'Mahavatar Narsimha', and the changing dynamics of theatrical releases. Vishek and Akkshay share their candid insights on why certain superstars like Salman Khan need to reinvent themselves, how films like 'Raid 2' and 'Sitaare Zameen Par' performed despite expectations, and what the historic Independence Day clash between 'War 2' and 'Coolie' means for Indian cinema. They also discuss the cross-pollination of talent between Hindi and South Indian cinema, marking a new era where the lines between regional industries are blurring.
