Saiyaara's title track hits No. 7 on Spotify Global, leaves big-budget songs behind
In a year where several star-led films are struggling to find footing, Saiyaara—a romantic drama featuring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda- has taken everyone by surprise. Directed by Mohit Suri, the film has not only raced past the ₹ 100-crore mark globally in its opening weekend but also secured its place as the fourth-highest weekend opener of 2025, after Chhaava, Housefull 5, and Sikandar. But the magic doesn't stop at the box office. The film's title track, which has become an anthem for hopeless romantics, is making waves worldwide. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh announced on X (formerly Twitter) that the song has climbed to No. 7 on Spotify's Top 50 Global Chart—an extraordinary feat for a track featuring two previously unknown voices. ''Saiyaara' title track climbs to No. 7 on Spotify Global Chart… In a major milestone, the title track of the historic blockbuster #Saiyaara has soared to #7 on Spotify's Top 50 Global chart,' wrote Adarsh. While the rest of the soundtrack is dominated by Vishal Mishra's vocals and Tanishk Bagchi's signature sound, the title track stands out, sung and composed by indie artists Faheem Abdullah and Arslan Nizami, with production support from Bagchi. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Faheem and Arslan opened up about their journey from Kashmir to Mumbai. 'Our music was well known in Kashmir, but we felt it wasn't reaching beyond. One day, I just told Faheem—someone has to step out and make this happen,' said Arslan. That very day, he quit his job. With limited savings and just 14 days planned in Mumbai, the duo took a leap of faith. 'We met Tanishk Bagchi on the 13th day,' Faheem recalled, 'and that meeting changed everything.' Today, the title track of Saiyaara stands tall among global music heavyweights—an emotional, indie anthem that's rewriting the rules of Bollywood soundtracks.

Tanishk Bagchi talks about Saiyaara title track: 'People knew me for remixes—good that they now see the original'
The well-known composer Tanishk Bagchi , who is long associated with Bollywood remixes, is finally being celebrated for his original work, thanks to the soulful title track of 'Saiyaara.' In a recent interview, Bagchi opened up about the emotional journey behind the song, his collaboration with Mohit Suri , and how the film marks a turning point in his career. 'I was going through a lot in my love life when I made this' Tanishk Bagchi revealed in an interview with NDTV that the song was created during a difficult phase in his personal life. He shared that the emotional ups and downs in his relationship deeply influenced the music. While working on the song, he also came to the realization that he hadn't been able to devote enough time to his partner. The emotional weight of that period, he said, shaped the song's tone and lyrical depth, making it one of his most personal compositions to date. Mohit Suri's process: 'He treats a song like a situation' Tanishk Bagchi credited director Mohit Suri for making music a key element of the film's narrative. He shared that Mohit develops the songs early in the process, treating each one as an integral situation in the story. In fact, they completed the music nearly a year before filming began. He added that Suri sees him as 'the most romantic, most aggressive in romance through music,' which helped unlock a deeper creative synergy between them. From remix tag to original recognition Known for chartbusters like Dilbar, Aankh Maarey, and Lut Gaye, Tanishk Bagchi has long been labeled a 'remix specialist.' However, the success of Saiyaara has helped shift that perception. He shared that he's glad audiences are finally acknowledging his original work, as earlier much of his recognition was tied to remixes. He hopes this marks a return to the era of music sittings and composer-led storytelling, recalling how his father spoke of filmmakers collaborating deeply with legends like RD Burman. Composing for newcomers vs. stars Bagchi also spoke about the difference in visibility when composing for newcomers like Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda compared to established stars. He noted that with fresh faces, the music composer often gets more recognition. In contrast, when working on films featuring big names like Varun Dhawan or Ranbir Kapoor, the spotlight typically falls first on the actors, followed by the director—leaving the composer further down the list. He said the moment he saw Ahaan and Aneet together, he instinctively felt his song would 'blend with them.'

Tanishk Bagchi To NDTV On Saiyaara Creating Saiyaara Title Song: "People Knew Me For Remixes, Good That..."
For long, composer Tanishk Bagchi has been vilified in the industry and media for making recreated versions of popular songs such as Aankh Maarey, Dilbar, Jehda Nasha, and Lut Gaye. After the success of the Saiyaara title track, the music director is happy that people are recognising his work for an original piece of art. The film, which released last Friday and is directed by Mohit Suri, has received special praise for its melodious soundtrack. It stars newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. For Saiyaara, Tanishk Bagchi has created two songs Saiyaara and Saiyaara (female reprise) along with Faheem Abdullah and Arslan Nizami. In an exclusive interview with NDTV, the music director spoke about Saiyaara, its music, and how important a role music plays in the success of a film. "The good part is that people are recognising me for an original song. Earlier, they used to put the tag of remixes on my work... I was going through a lot of ups and downs in my love life when I was making the song, and that also inspired my music a lot. While making the songs I realised, I haven't been able to give enough time to my relationship," the music composer told NDTV. Tanishk Bagchi said the credit of the film and its music goes to director Mohit Suri. "Mohit Suri believes I am most romantic, most aggressive in my romance (through music). Mohit first works on the songs because he treats an entire song like a situation. We finished work on the songs of the film a year before (we started shooting on the film)" he said. According to the music director, Aditya Chopra -- who has presented Saiyaara through his family banner Yash Raj Films -- liked the title track of the film just after listening to the song's scratch version. Composing for Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in Saiyaara was a different experience, said Tanishk Bagchi. "I met Aneet and Ahaan a couple of times. And, when I saw them for the first time, I thought that my song would blend with them. I couldn't put a finger on it but my song was going really well with the two of them," he said. "When I make music for established actors such as Varun Dhawan and Ranbir Kapoor, one has to keep certain things in mind. When you are composing for new faces, you get a lot of importance as a music composer. When working with established actors, their names come first, then the director finds a mention and then maybe at the fourth or fifth number, one may find the music director," he added. In the old days, music directors used to be an important part of filmmaking, said Tanishk Bagchi. "There were some music directors who used to give time to compose songs. There used to be music sittings. My father used to tell me that filmmakers would sit with RD Burman to create the music for the film. This is starting once again and I hope after Saiyaara people will start thinking actively about it."

While speaking about the opportunity, Abdullah told the media, "It is an honour to represent Kashmir in the Hindi film industry with our musical debut in 'Saiyaara'. Our state has beautiful people and incredible artists.

Quietly working to craft melodies with Abdullah, Nizami never imagined a Bollywood launch quite like this."I wouldn't have believed it if people had told me a couple of years earlier that I would get a chance to compose a song for a big film in the Hindi film industry. So, there was no way that I was dreaming that I would get a chance to compose for Mohit Suri in his directorial. This is an incredible milestone moment in my career and I couldn't be happier, prouder," he added, "To have my song, which I have composed along with an exceptionally talented fellow Kashmiri artist like Faheem and the incredible Tanishk Bagchi, lead the 'Saiyaara' promotional campaign feels surreal."The magic is not just in the melody, but in the moment.

"I'm proud that two Kashmiri boys are here in Mumbai and trying to show what we can do to the whole country. I know we will work exceptionally hard in the near future to make our state prouder and I thank Mohit Suri sir for his unflinching belief in us. He has given us wind beneath our wings to fly higher from here on," he elaborated.'Saiyaara' uses music as part of its narrative, not as an accessory.
