'Saiyaara' composer Tanishk Bagchi comes in support of extreme fan reactions; says he 'also cried’ after watching movie

Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda’s film ‘Saiyaara’ has got the audience in a trans. The fever of this musical drama directed by Mohit Suri has spared none. Its impact can be measured from the box office numbers or the audience reaction videos that are going viral on the internet.

From people bursting into tears, screaming, remembering their long-lost love, to a man watching the movie with an IV drip attached to his hand, the audience reaction videos are all over social media.

While some are calling them euphoric, some cringe, music composer Tanishk Bagchi has come in defence of the audience’s extreme reaction.

“I also cried,” says Tanishk Bagchi

“When I watched the film, I also cried,” said Tanishk Bagchi during his interaction with News18.

The composer who worked on the title track of the movie added that he had also watched emotional films, including Hollywood’s sentimental dramas, but it is the music of this movie that steals the show. “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," he mentioned.

He added that a couple of scenes truly resonate with people. Depending on your emotional strength, you will either burst into tears or shed a single drop, but you will get sentimental; that is a given.

Mohit Suri’s brief to Tanishk Bagchi for ‘Saiyaara’ title track

Though the entire soundtrack of the movie has impressed the audience, the title song has struck all he right chords. Tanishk revealed what the director had in mind when he spoke about the ‘Saiyaara’ title track. “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. 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 a kind of nostalgia.” The music composer added that there is 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," confessed the artist.
