Bollywood is witnessing a rare coincidence that has set social media and fans abuzz. As Mohit Suri’s latest romantic drama ‘Saiyaara’ storms the box office, many are reminiscing about another beloved ‘Saiyyara’—the timeless romantic track from Salman Khan’s 2012 film Ek Tha Tiger.

While the film ‘Saiyaara’ starring newcomers Ahaan Pandey and Anit Padda is garnering praise for its soulful storytelling and music-driven narrative, the original Saiyyara song continues to hold a legendary place in the hearts of fans even 13 years after its release.

Salman’s ‘Saiyyara’ Still Rules Hearts with 70 Crore Views

Back in 2012, when Ek Tha Tiger released, one of its standout moments was the romantic ballad ‘Saiyyara’, picturized on Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif. Written by Kausar Munir, composed by Sohail Sen, and soulfully rendered by Mohit Chauhan, the song perfectly captured the emotional tension and chemistry between its leads.

Over a decade later, the song remains a staple on romantic playlists and has amassed 718 million views (over 70 crore) on YouTube—a staggering feat that shows no signs of fading. The name Saiyyara became synonymous with aching love and poetic separation, making it one of Bollywood’s most iconic romantic tracks.

New ‘Saiyaara’ Film Creates Box Office Frenzy

Now, in 2025, a new generation is falling in love with a different kind of Saiyaara—this time, not just a song, but an entire film. Directed by Mohit Suri, the romantic drama centers on the emotional journey of a young aspiring rockstar and a heartbroken lyricist. The film has struck a chord with youth and families alike, presenting a tender, music-fueled alternative to the high-octane violence seen in recent films.

According to trade reports, Saiyaara has collected Rs 83 crore in just three days, and with strong word-of-mouth and packed shows, it's expected to climb much higher in the coming weeks.

When Names Resonate Across Generations

The coincidence of two hits—a song and a film, both named Saiyyara/Saiyaara—is rare but powerful. While the 2012 song reflected poetic longing, the 2025 film embodies emotional healing and musical transformation. Both, however, tap into the universal language of love and resilience.

For fans, it's a nostalgic bridge between past and present. Many who fell in love with Saiyyara a decade ago are now watching a new tale unfold on the big screen under the same name—and discovering that some names never go out of style.
