They're both highly formulaic movies that reuse age old tropes. There's nothing new in either of the two movies. We've seen sports dramas like F1, a dime a dozen; to the point that people have compared to every other car race movie they could think of and found similarities (Yes, even Pixar's Cars). Saiyaara too, offers nothing new. The tropes are all too familiar, we know how the film ends; there's hardly a surprise element in the movie.
So why are they not terrible films? Why did I enjoy both of them very much? I think because the mind craves comfort, and this summer's been particularly rough. Watching a well made formulaic film is so much more fun than watching a poorly made experiment of a story. And both these films are particularly well made movies of their genre. The acting, the cinematography, and the music are all top-notch for both of these movies. And I love that about them. Liked both the movies, highly recommend.
