The title track of the Bollywood film Saiyaara, starring Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, has become a global sensation, climbing to No. 7 on Spotify's Top 50 Global chart. This achievement has sparked a wave of excitement, with actress Ananya Panday, Ahaan's cousin, urging fans to propel the song to the No. 1 spot.
Saiyaara, directed by Mohit Suri, has surprised audiences and critics alike. The romantic drama has not only crossed the ₹100-crore mark worldwide in its opening weekend but has also become the fourth-highest weekend opener of 2025, trailing only Chhaava, Housefull 5, and Sikandar. The film's success extends beyond the box office, with its music resonating deeply with listeners.
Ananya Panday shared her excitement on social media, celebrating the song's entry into the top 50 global charts. She expressed her determination to help it reach the top spot, calling on fans in India to put the song "on loop".
The Saiyaara title track distinguishes itself from the rest of the soundtrack, which features vocals by Vishal Mishra and compositions by Tanishk Bagchi. The title track is composed and sung by indie artists Faheem Abdullah and Arslan Nizami, with production support from Bagchi.
Faheem and Arslan have spoken about their journey from Kashmir to Mumbai. They recognized that while their music was popular in Kashmir, it needed a broader reach. The duo took a leap of faith, and met Tanishk Bagchi, which they say changed everything.
The success of "Saiyaara" is seen as a potential gateway for more Kashmiri musicians to enter the mainstream. Faheem emphasized Kashmir's untapped musical potential, expressing hope that their success will create opportunities for other talented artists from the region.
Mohit Suri, known for his musical hits in films like Aashiqui 2 and Ek Villain, seems to have struck gold again with Saiyaara. The film's soundtrack, even before the trailer release, has been trending on platforms like Spotify and Gaana. Tracks like "Dhun" and "Barbaad" have also gained immense popularity.
The film is a classic romantic narrative, reminiscent of Suri's earlier works. Saiyaara tells the story of a struggling musician and an aspiring journalist whose lives intertwine.
Saiyaara's title track reaching No. 7 on Spotify's Global Top 50 chart marks a significant achievement, especially for a film featuring debutants. If the song reaches No. 1 worldwide, it would be a phenomenal accomplishment.
