Saiyaara Album is a Tribute to My First Musical Inspiration – Aashiqui: Mohit Suri

For the first time ever, celebrated filmmaker Mohit Suri and the iconic production house Yash Raj Films (YRF) have joined forces for a romantic drama that’s capturing hearts even before its release — Saiyaara. Touted as the most awaited youth-centric love story of the year, Saiyaara has already made a massive impact with its soul-stirring soundtrack.
With chartbusters like the title track by Faheem-Arslan, Barbaad by Jubin Nautiyal, Tum Ho Toh by Vishal Mishra, Humsafar by Sachet-Parampara, and Dhun by Arijit Singh and Mithoon, the film boasts what many are calling 2025’s best romantic album.
A Personal Tribute to the Magic of Music
Director Mohit Suri, marking 20 successful years in Hindi cinema, reveals that Saiyaara’s soundtrack is a heartfelt homage to the 1990 classic Aashiqui, a film that first awakened his passion for music. Directed by Mahesh Bhatt and featuring Rahul Roy and Anu Aggarwal, Aashiqui became a national sensation for its groundbreaking music."Saiyaara’s album is my tribute to all the romantic records I grew up loving. But more than anything, it honors the original Aashiqui, which mesmerized me and ignited my lifelong romance with music."

A Dream Collaboration with India’s Finest Talent
Mohit expresses his pride in assembling a musical dream team for Saiyaara, uniting the country’s most celebrated voices and composers.“From Arijit Singh, one of the most followed artists globally, to Mithoon, Tanishk Bagchi, Jubin Nautiyal, Vishal Mishra, Sachet-Parampara, Faheem & Arslan from Kashmir, and the lyrical brilliance of Irshad Kamil — this team is truly unmatched,” he says.
He adds that working with YRF, known for their timeless romantic sagas under legends like Yash Chopra and Aditya Chopra, provided the perfect backdrop for a film that seeks to revive the lost charm of classic love stories at the box office.
A New Generation of Romance on Screen
Saiyaara also marks the debut of Ahaan Panday as a YRF lead, alongside Aneet Padda, who won acclaim for her performance in Big Girls Don’t Cry. Their on-screen chemistry and fresh energy have already drawn praise from critics and audiences alike.“Audiences are hungry for stories that stir the heart. I truly believe Saiyaara will connect with every person who believes in the power of love,” Mohit says.
A Film to Remember
Produced by Akshaye Widhani, CEO of Yash Raj Films, Saiyaara represents a new chapter in Hindi romance. With a gripping love story, heartfelt music, and a fresh pairing, the film is poised to bring romance back into the cinematic spotlight.
