Saiyaara is the soundtrack album to the 2025 film of the same name directed by Mohit Suri and produced by Akshaye Vidwani under Yash Raj Films, starring debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. The soundtrack consists of seven songs composed by Mithoon, Sachet–Parampara, Tanishk Bagchi, Rishabh Kant, Vishal Mishra, Faheem Abdullah and Arslan Nisami and lyrics written by Mithoon, Kant, Raj Shekhar and Irshad Kamil. The soundtrack was released through YRF Music on 4 July 2025.
Background
[edit]"Saiyaara album is my tribute to the best romantic albums that I have loved to watch, and it is my tribute to the first Aashiqui, whose music left me spellbound. I didn't know what hit me and it made me fall in love with music... that love story is still continuing with every film that I direct [...] It is very rare to have the best talent of the country to be a part of a film music album and I'm delighted that Saiyaara has the best musical geniuses of India pouring their hearts out to create a romantic album that hopefully will stand the test of time.
The album for Saiyaara consisted of multiple composers working on each song, bypassing YRF's strategy of working on only single composers for an album; the previous YRF soundtrack to have multiple artists was for Detective Byomkesh Bakshy! (2015).[2] Mithoon, a recurrent composer of Suri's works since Aashiqui 2 (2013) also associated with one of the songs, while also introducing new voices: Kashmiri musicians Faheem Abdullah, Arslan Nizami and Rishabh Kant, who was credited as The Rish.[3][4] Other prominent artists include Tanishk Bagchi, Vishal Mishra and Sachet–Parampara, who also worked in several multi-composer albums.[2] Suri considered the album as a tribute to the successful soundtrack of Aashiqui (1990).[1]
Release
[edit]The seven-track album was preceded by five singles, with each of them being released on Tuesdays.[1] The first song, "Saiyaara" was released on 3 June 2025, followed by the second song "Barbaad" on 10 June.[5][6] The third song "Tum Ho Toh" was released on 17 June,[7] and the fourth and fifth songs "Humsafar" and "Dhun" released on 24 June and 1 July, respectively.[8][9] The reprised version of "Saiyaara" and "Barbaad" released along with the album on 4 July.[10][1]

Reception
[edit]The music was instrumental in creating anticipation among moviegoers.[11] Industry insiders noted that the film's "chartbuster soundtrack" worked in its favor, transforming it from "a mid-sized film to a tentpole romantic event" especially the titular track which topped several music, video and other short-form platforms.[11]
Radhika Sharma of NDTV wrote "Its soundtrack, consisting of songs such as Saiyaara, Barbaad, and Tum Ho Toh, is both hummable as well as head-bangy. If it takes almost the whole of the music industry (there are seven composers and four lyricists in credits) to build a complete and contemporary music album, it should be made a norm."[12] Dhaval Roy of The Times of India wrote "The film's emotional core finds a match in its evocative music by Faheem Abdullah, Tanishk Bagchi, Rishabh Kant, Vishal Mishra, Arslan Nizami, Mithoon, and Sachet-Parampara. John Stewart Eduri's background score enhances the overall experience."[13]
Rishabh Suri of Hindustan Times wrote "Music has always been a strength in Mohit's films, and this time too, he doesn't disappoint. Tanishk Bagchi, Arslan Abdullah, and Faheem Nizami compose genuinely moving tracks. Personal picks: the title song and the beautifully shot Tum Ho Toh, sung by Vishal Mishra."[14] Anuj Kumar of The Hindu stated, "the tripping soundtrack, put together by five composers, grows on your senses."[15] Nandini Ramnath of Scroll.in noted "The songs take the story forward rather than coming in the way. [it's] lingering flavour isn't restricted to the music, particularly the title track written by Irshad Kamil, composed by Tanishk Bagchi, Faheem Abdullah, Arslan Nizami and sung by Abdullah."[16]
