Reception

Saathiya was well received by critics. The film's realism and A.R Rehman's music were considered the highlights. However it was thought to be inferior to the tamil original directed by Mani Ratnam. It came second in the box office in its opening weekend behind Kaante. However in the weeks ahead it showed stronger legs and ended up being the highest grosser that December.

2003 Filmfare Awards

Saathiya won six awards at the Filmfare Awards.
