‘Saiyaara’ to ‘Murder 2’: Mohit Suri’s Fascination with Korean Drama Narratives

Saiyaara

Mohit Suri’s latest film, ‘Saiyaara,’ starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, hit theatres on July 18. The musical love story opened to a good response and was praised for its emotional scenes and fresh pairing. But soon after the release, many viewers pointed out that the film feels very close to a 2004 Korean movie, ‘A Moment to Remember’. Both films show a young couple facing the painful journey of early-onset Alzheimer’s, making many believe the film is heavily inspired by it.

Bollywood Films Inspired by Korean Movies:

Saiyaara‘ – ‘A Moment to Remember’ (2004)

‘Murder 2’ – ‘The Chaser’ (2008)

‘Awarapan’ – ‘A Bittersweet Life’ (2005)

‘Ek Villain’ – ‘I Saw the Devil’ (2010)
