One year ago, Saiyaara introduced audiences to the deeply heartfelt love story of Krish Kapoor and Vaani Batra, and in the process, became one of the most celebrated romantic films of the year. Directed by Mohit Suri & producer by YRF’s CEO Akshaye Widhani, Saiyaara marked the big screen debut of Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda and the film struck a powerful emotional chord with audiences to emerge as the all-time highest grossing love story in the history of Indian cinema.
As Saiyaara completes one year, the film continues to hold a special place in the hearts of audiences who embraced its story and made it their own. Over the past year, fans have continued to revisit the film, celebrate its most memorable moments and return to its music, which has gone on to become a phenomenon in its own right. Long before the film’s release, the soundtrack had penetrated the hearts of people, dominating music charts, broke streaming records in India and globally.
To commemorate the film’s first anniversary, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda have unveiled a special 2 disc collector’s edition Saiyaara LP, celebrating the music that continues to resonate with audiences. Designed as a keepsake for fans and music lovers, the limited-edition vinyl also features exclusive handwritten diary notes from Ahaan and Aneet, which are a personal reflection on their Saiyaara journey.
Ahaan Panday writes in the collectible LP, “If you’re one of the few people reading this, you’re probably somebody who cares deeply about our film, and for that, thank you. Thank you for giving love a chance. Thank you for believing in our story. We never knew Saiyaara would reach so many people, but it’s safe to say we’ve left our hearts with quite a few of you. I hope you keep this vinyl as a reminder that love will always be the strongest force to exist, that it has the power to surpass all things.”
Aneet Padda says, “To everyone who opened their hearts to Saiyaara and its music, I don’t think there are enough words to truly express what this has felt like. Sometimes, when I sit quietly and think about how deeply this music has reached people, I feel overwhelmed in the most beautiful way. What began as songs, scenes, emotions and moments we poured ourselves into… somehow found a home in millions of hearts across the world. And that is something for which I will be deeply grateful, forever. Music has always been such a personal thing. It becomes part of our memories. A melody can remind you of someone you loved, a version of yourself you miss, a heartbreak you survived or even the hope you’re still holding onto. That’s why seeing people connect with Saiyaara the way they have, has been incredibly emotional for me.”
Ahaan adds, “The music of Saiyaara became something far greater than we ever imagined because of you. To everyone who sang these songs, played them on loop, or found comfort in them during moments they couldn’t put into words, thank you! Somewhere between these songs, I hope you stop finding our characters and start finding pieces of yourself. Because somewhere between these melodies and lyrics, the story stops being ours and becomes yours. I know that whenever I listen to this, it’ll bring me back to a story of mine that’s etched in time… a story very close to my heart. I hope it does the same for you.”
Aneet adds, “I’ve read your messages. I’ve seen your edits, your covers, your late-night captions, felt your tears and your smiles. To everyone who embraced Saiyaara so fiercely, thank you. Thank you for feeling whatever you felt in a world that constantly tells you not to. Thank you for allowing this music to become part of your lives. What moves me the most is knowing that people from completely different parts of the world could relate to the same feelings through this music. Different languages, different lives, different stories… yet somehow everyone felt the same emotions and reciprocated deeply. That reminds me how universal love, longing, heartbreak, hope and healing really are. Thank you for making Saiyaara more than a soundtrack. Thank you for turning it into an emotion. And most importantly, thank you for reminding me why art matters in the first place… how it can make us feel alive, feel connected and give us hope…”
Ahaan further says, “Thank you for carrying this music with you and allowing it to become a part of your lives. Your love has turned Saiyaara into more than a film and more than an album—it has become a feeling that belongs to all of us. This special edition Saiyaara LP is our gift to you, a small token of gratitude for the immense love you’ve given all of us. We hope it brings you joy and becomes a cherished addition to your collection, holding a special place in your heart for years to come.”
Aneet concludes, “Hope you enjoy this special edition of Saiyaara’s LP and we hope it finds a place in your hearts…”
Signing off, Ahaan says, “Some stories don’t end on screen. This is one of those that never will, because it lives on in every memory, every melody, and every heart it has touched. Forever and ever and ever.
