The song's global appeal has been unprecedented, with listeners from all over the world connecting with its emotional and indie vibe, making it a standout in the Bollywood music scene and a must-listen for music lovers everywhere.
Saiyaara's title track has achieved a rare feat, reaching No. 7 on Spotify's Global Chart, surpassing big-budget films' soundtracks and becoming a global phenomenon, with the film crossing the ₹100-crore mark in its opening weekend.
