'Saiyaara' music composer Tanishk Bagchi breaks silence on the allegations of the title song being copied: 'The similarities are fine, it can happen, but...'
A few weeks back, who would have imagined a Bollywood romantic musical drama titled Saiyaara featuring debutants Ahaan Panday & Aneet Padda in the lead would be crossing Rs 400 crore at the global box office.
The Mohit Suri directorial has performed way beyond expectations and is now aiming to surpass the business of movies, which are the highest-grossers of big stars globally.
Saiyaara currently stands with a global collection of around Rs 395 crore and is now set to surpass the business of Simmba (Rs 400.19 crore), 3 Idiots (Rs 400.61 crore), Brahmastra (Rs 418.8 crore), Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 (Rs 423.85 crore) and Chennai Express (Rs 424.54 crore).
STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
But now, music composer of the film Tanishk Bagchi has reacted to the allegations that the title song has been lifted from a song by One Direction and even Jubin Nautiyal's song Humnava.
Breaking his silence, Bagchi was quoted saying, 'Whatever I do, people will have something to say because they don't have [anything better to do. They keep on looking for opportunities to put me down.'
He added, 'But ultimately, the song will go wherever it's destined to, and that's what's happening with Saiyaara too. As for the comparisons — if you look at the melody, the chords are the same. The A minor scale has just about 3–4 chords, but every melody has a different soul.'
Once known as the composer for remixing classic songs of yore, Bagchi also added, 'Even if you can do that, it's really difficult to make it a hit. All said and done, we didn't steal anything. The similarities are fine, it can happen, but it's not like we did it on purpose.'
'Idhar se utha ke udhar nahi kiya (We didn't pick something from there and add it here). We worked on the emotion of the song, and that worked. That's the magic of Saiyaara,' continued the composer.

Son of Sardaar 2 box office collection day 4: Ajay Devgn's film witnesses drop amid tough competition from Saiyaara
Son of Sardaar 2 box office collection day 4: Ajay Devgn's comedy-drama released in theatres on August 1 and clashed with Siddhant Chaturvedi and Triptii Dimri's Dhadak 2. While the film has managed to stay ahead of Dhadak 2, it is still struggling at the box office and has now seen a decline in collections on its first Monday. Son of Sardaar 2 box office collection day 4: Ajay Devgn headlines the comedy with Mrunal Thakur and Ravi Kishan for company. Son of Sardaar 2 witnesses a dip on first Monday According to Sacnilk, Ajay's film closed its opening weekend with ₹24.75 crore (earning ₹7.25 crore on Day 1, ₹8.25 crore on Day 2, and ₹9.25 crore on Day 3). However, the film failed to maintain momentum at the box office on its first Monday, earning just ₹1.88 crore. The total collection of the movie now stands at ₹26.63 crore. While the film continues to race ahead of Dhadak 2, it has clearly faced tough competition from Saiyaara. Ajay's film earned slightly more than what Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's Saiyaara collected on Monday, which marked its 18th day at the box office. Saiyaara earned ₹1.82 crore, according to the trade tracking site, taking its total box office collection to ₹301.29 crore. Mrunal Thakur, the film's female lead, was seen encouraging viewers to watch the movie in theatres and decide its fate for themselves. When a fan tweeted about the film's mixed reviews on social media, saying, 'The way the reviews are on Instagram and YouTube, I don't even feel like watching it anymore,' Mrunal responded, 'Most of the reviews are misleading… I would appreciate if you decide how YOU LIKE IT SIR!' About Son of Sardaar 2 The sequel to the 2012 hit Son of Sardaar follows the story of Ajay's character, Jassi, who is called to London by his wife (played by Neeru Bajwa), only to be blindsided by her demand for a divorce. Stranded and heartbroken, he crosses paths with Rabia (Mrunal Thakur), a spirited member of an all-girl wedding dhol band. Rabia's younger sister, Saba (Roshni Walia), is in love with the son of the stern and traditional Raja (Ravi Kishan), who insists on meeting her parents before giving his approval. The problem? Saba's parents are no more. To keep the romance alive, Jassi agrees to pose as her father, an ex-army colonel, while Rabia plays the mother. What follows is a hilarious and chaotic ride of twists, emotional beats, and drama. The film received mixed reviews from critics. However, Ravi Kishan, Sanjay Mishra, and Deepak Dobriyal's performances and comic timing were widely appreciated by both critics and audiences.

Pop sensation Rihanna's brands Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin are officially launching on Tira and Sephora India on August 7, 2025 Fenty's makeup and skincare products will be available at Sephora India and Tira stores and websites. Credit: Instagram/badgalriri She shared the exciting update on her Instagram handle on August 4. Over 50 stores across 16 cities will also stock the products. This, however, is not the first time that Indians would be able to buy Fenty's coveted products from the comfort of their homes. They were available on Nykaa Global Store (now not available) and also Fenty's official website. However, ordering from Fenty Beauty's website includes an additional shipping charge of over Rs 1,000 for delivery within 7–11 business days. For express delivery (within 5–8 days), the charge exceeds ₹2,000. Even Nykaa used to charge an additional shipping fee of Rs 500. The move to bring it to Sephora and Tira is Rihanna's way to "making it easier for more people to experience the products". Though further details are yet to be revealed, beauty buyers may benefit from faster delivery and possibly no additional shipping charges now. Fenty Beauty made waves for its hyper-inclusive shade range and Rihanna's exceptional foundation formula. Now it iconic range of products also includes lip luminzers and highlighers. The big business move by Rihanna testifies India as a key market player in the global beauty industry, and an increased appetite for luxury in the region. The move also comes over a year after Rihanna performed (her first performance after a 8-year hiatus) at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding celebrations in Jamnagar.
