Saiyaara Composer Tanishk Bagchi Reacts To Audience Reactions To The Film: ‘I Also Cried'
Tanishk Bagchi defends audience's extreme reactions after watching Saiyaara. He says that even the emotionally strong ones shed a tear as everyone has loved and lost. Saiyaara songs: Saiyaara's golden run at the box office continues. And along with it, viral videos of audiences going wild, even crying and screaming at screenings, particularly when the title track plays. In another video, a man is seen watching the film with an IV drip attached to his hand. In short, the Saiyaara fever has gripped the nation. Now, speaking exclusively to News18 Showsha, music composer Tanishk Bagchi, who has put together the title track of the film, reacts to extreme fan reactions that are being described as euphoric by some and cringe by others. Defending their reactions, he tells us, 'When I watched the film, I also cried. But to be honest, I don't know why I cried. I've watched so many emotional films even from the West. But the music in this film haunts you. It gives you the feeling that you've lost someone, that you aren't able to find the one ya phir koi juda hua hai par phir bhi aapke paas nahi hai. Saiyaara ka jo title track hai woh ek adbhut sa feeling deta hai." 'There are some scenes in the film that truly resonate with you. Those who're emotionally weak burst out into tears and those that are strong, shed only a tear," adds Tanishk. Recalling director Mohit Suri's brief to him for the title track, he says, 'Mohit sir had told me that he wants to evoke a very specific feeling through this song. It should take people back to that one moment in their lives." He continues, 'It should remind them of their first love just like how when you smell a flower, it reminds you of a perfume that someone special would wear. He told me that it should evoke kind of nostalgia. I think it's a very deep feeling. There's no technique to introduce such a feeling into a song. It only happens if you've lived a special moment. All of us have lived our pasts, which got reflected into the song, and that's why it connected with the audience." He also reveals that Mohit was present in the studio during the recording session of the track, leaving singer Faheem Abdullah and co-composer Arslan Nizami almost intimidated. 'He's always there in a recording studio. At one point, I had to ask him to leave and give the artists some space because they were getting scared. Faheem was quite scared on his first day of dubbing the track," Tanishk tells us. Praising the director for being intensely involved with the music of his films, Tanishk, who had earlier collaborated with him on Half Girlfriend and Ek Villain Returns, shares, 'For the theme music of Saiyaara, he suddenly called me and told me that he's coming to my studio. He had the theme music with him already and told me to add some vocals to it. I quickly did it and he approved it. I thought he would use parts of it but when I watched the film, I saw that he used every bit of it." First Published: July 28, 2025, 07:36 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

4 Heroes 'Insecure' After Ahaan Panday's Debut, Claims Komal Nahta; Fans Ask 'Kartik, Ibrahim?'
Last Updated: Komal Nahta claimed that one actor is now unable to concentrate on the shooting of his upcoming film. Ahaan Panday has become the talk of the town after the release of his debut film, Saiyaara. Of all the star kids who have made their debuts recently, Ahaan Panday is being touted as the next big superstar. However, as per trade analyst Komal Nahta, Ahaan's early success has left four Bollywood actors insecure. Komal Nahta claimed in an article, 'One actor, with more than 40 films to his credit, actually told his colleague that he was finding it difficult to get even his forty winks, leave alone a good night's sleep." He wrote that Saiyaara's numbers are giving the actor palpitations and have left him feeling insecure about his career. The article also mentioned, 'Another relatively newer hero is said to be ringing up his current producers to find out whether the advance booking is genuine or not." It was recently reported that several producers have a habit of inflating their box office numbers with corporate bookings. However, as per Komal Nahta, Saiyaara's numbers are real. As for the third hero, the report claimed, 'A third hero is busy spreading stories that he is privy to inside information that the advance booking figures are being hyped by the producer of the film." The report also mentions a fourth hero who has 'almost 20 films to his credit, simply can't concentrate on his shooting as he is asking all and sundry whether the hype around Saiyaara is for real". This report resurfaced on Reddit, where netizens tried to guess which actors were being hinted at. One comment read, 'Shahid, Varun and Kartik?" Another mentioned, 'Has to be Ibrahim. Veer has no chance, and I hope he knows it. Junaid and Vedang seem pretty chill." One person wrote, referring to Ibrahim Ali Khan, 'Imagine being born to Bollywood and cricket royalty (and an actual royal family) only to get mogged by checks notes Chikki Panday's son. I'd be pissed too if I were him lol." One comment read, '40+ films – Saif or John (Shahid doesn't cross the number of 40 movies). Ringing producers- maybe Varun. It has to be Kartik, lord of the PR." Someone else wrote, 'Everyone else makes sense…but who is 40-plus movie actor feeling insecure with Ahaan? Abhishek Bachchan?" For the unversed, the film's box office collection has matched the social media response around the film. The film has earned nearly Rs 20 crore till now. Saiyaara has outperformed the Day 1 collections of Murder 2 (Rs 6.95 crore), Aashiqui 2 (Rs 6.10 crore), and Half Girlfriend (Rs 10.30 crore). It has also eclipsed the collections of Ek Villain (2014), which collected Rs 16 crore on its opening day, by becoming Mohit Suri's biggest opener ever.
