'Saiyaara', directed by Mohit Suri and starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, opened in theatres on Friday, July 18. At the box office, the musical romance got off to a strong start. Many moviegoers, however, immediately saw comparisons between "Saiyaara" and the 2004 South Korean film "A Moment to Remember."

The plot of Suri's most recent film has drawn criticism for being remarkably similar to the Korean classic, which likewise centres on a couple dealing with the difficulties of early-onset Alzheimer's.

Netizens claim Saiyaara is a copy of the Korean film 'A Moment to Remember'

As one user put it, "So #SAIYAARA is a copy of this KOREAN FILM! (Read the synopsis) Mohit Suri has barely made any original film (sic)".
