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.

Highlights:

  • Pushes back against old stereotypes, choosing to focus on joy and celebration instead of struggle.
  • It insists the community deserves stages for celebration, not just for sharing pain.
  • It walks through four raw, human chapters: Seeking, Desire, Acceptance, and Love.
  • Its core mission is putting brown, queer male bodies on stage in a way that is still rarely seen.

In an exclusive chat with Eastern Eye, choreographer Jaivant Patel spoke about ASTITVA, a new dance work that reimagines what it means to be queer and south Asian through movement, rhythm, and emotion.

ASTITVA translates to “existence,” an apt title for a piece born from the need to simply be seen and heard. It reflects Patel’s journey and the lived realities of queer south Asian people today.
