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.
