Yash Raj Films just dropped the first look poster for “Barbaad,” the second single from their upcoming romantic drama Saiyaara, and let’s just say—it’s giving heartbreak, longing, and all the feels. The caption that came with it said it best: “A love story that completes you, can also make you #Barbaad…” Yeah, we’re not okay either. The song officially breaks tomorrow, and if the hauntingly poetic vibe of the title track was any indication, we’re definitely keeping tissues handy.
Directed by Mohit Suri (aka the man behind many of Bollywood’s most emotional music moments), Saiyaara stars fresh faces Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda in what looks like a heady, starry-eyed romance with a cosmic twist. Ahaan, who happens to be Ananya Panday’s cousin, is making his big-screen debut with this one, and honestly, the buzz is real. The teaser and title track are already out, painting the story of two souls pulled together—and torn apart—by fate.
The film’s name itself is a little piece of poetry: Saiyaara—a celestial wanderer. It’s the kind of word that makes your heart ache in a beautiful way. Used in poetry to describe someone dazzling and just out of reach, the name sets the tone for a love story that’s larger than life, yet deeply personal. So when YRF says “Barbaad,” we know they don’t just mean heartbreak—they mean total emotional devastation, wrapped in melody.
With a July 18, 2025 release date locked in, Saiyaara is shaping up to be the romantic drama of the year, full of passion, pain, and possibly a few tear-stained playlists. Between Jubin Nautiyal’s vocals, Mohit Suri’s flair for emotional chaos, and a pair of fresh leads ready to shine, Barbaad is just the beginning of this beautiful wreckage. And honestly? We’re here for it.
