Just when audiences thought Saiyaara had wrapped up its emotional rollercoaster, the film hit them with one final gut-punch in the form of a soulful title track sung by Shreya Ghoshal. The female version of Saiyaara, revealed only in the film’s final scene, has quietly become one of its biggest talking points online.

Here’s why the song has become an unexpected fan favourite:

1. It wasn’t promoted, and that’s exactly why it hit harder

In an age of pre-release singles and playlist drops, Saiyaara took a different route. The female version of the title track wasn’t part of the film’s initial promotions. Its sudden arrival in the final scene caught audiences off-guard, and somehow, that made it even more impactful.

2. Shreya Ghoshal’s voice adds emotional depth to the ending

There’s a reason Ghoshal remains a go-to voice for cinematic closure. Her rendition here brings calm, clarity, and a quiet kind of power to the final scene. It doesn’t scream for attention; it lingers, stays with you, and makes the ending feel earned.

3. Social media is flooded with fan edits and reels

Since the film’s release, TikTok and Instagram have been buzzing with fan-made tributes using the song. Emotional montage reels, breakup videos, even wedding clips: the song’s found a second life online, far beyond the film’s context.

4. It’s now streaming and everyone wants it on loop

Initially unavailable as a standalone track, the demand for Ghoshal’s version grew so loud that platforms quietly added it. It’s quickly become one of the most streamed parts of the film’s soundtrack, with fans calling it the “musical soul” of Saiyaara.

5. It ties the protagonist’s journey together without saying a word

The film builds up to a hopeful, almost spiritual closure. Instead of over-explaining it with dialogue, Saiyaara lets the song do the talking. Ghoshal’s voice becomes the emotional translator: soft, steady, and deeply moving.

A different kind of ending

Saiyaara might have had all the makings of a big-screen romance: new faces, sweeping visuals, a dramatic arc. But it’s this one unassuming song that’s become its heartbeat.

It’s rare for a track tucked away in the final few minutes to leave such a lasting impact, but Shreya Ghoshal’s voice does what few outros can: it doesn’t just end the story, it heals something quietly in the audience too.

The Kerala actress assault case explained: How it is changing industry culture in Malayalam cinema

Highlights:

  • February 2017: Actress abducted and sexually assaulted; case reported the next day.
  • Legal journey: Trial ran nearly nine years, with witnesses turning hostile and evidence disputes.
  • Verdict: Six accused convicted; actor Dileep acquitted of conspiracy in December 2025.
  • Industry impact: Led to WCC, Hema Committee report, and exposure of systemic harassment.
  • Aftermath: Protests, public backlash, and survivor’s statement questioning justice and equality.

You arrive in Kochi, and it feels like the sea air makes everything slightly sharper; faces in the city look purposeful, a film poster peels at the corner of a wall. In a city that has cradled a thriving film industry for decades, a single crime on the night of 17 February 2017 ruptured the ordinary: an abduction, a recorded sexual assault and a survivor who reported it the next day. What happened next is every woman’s unspoken nightmare, weaponised into brutal reality. It was a public unpeeling of an industry’s power structures, a slow-motion fight over evidence and testimony, and a national debate about how institutions protect (or fail) women.

For over eight years, her fight for justice became a mirror held up to an entire industry and a society. It was a journey from the dark confines of that car to the glaring lights of a courtroom, from being a silenced victim to becoming a defiant survivor whose voice sparked a revolution. This is not just the story of a crime. It is the story of what happens when one woman says, "Enough," and the tremors that follow.
