Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor Spark Old-School Romance in Param Sundari’s First Song ‘Pardesiya’

Bollywood's penchant for fresh on-screen pairings continues to strike a chord with audiences, and the latest duo to win hearts is Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor. Their upcoming romantic drama Param Sundari has been creating buzz ever since the teaser dropped, offering a glimpse of their chemistry backed by Sonu Nigam’s timeless vocals. The anticipation surrounding the film’s music reached a new high with the release of its first track, Pardesiya, and it’s safe to say — the wait has paid off.

The romantic track, composed by Sachin-Jigar and sung soulfully by Sonu Nigam and Krishnakali Saha, offers a perfect blend of nostalgia and freshness. Set against a stunningly lush backdrop, the visuals are as dreamy as the melodies, creating an immersive world of old-school charm. But the real magic lies in the palpable chemistry between the lead pair, which is winning over both fans and critics alike.

“Janhvi Kapoor and Sidharth Malhotra make a beautiful pair. We already saw that in Param Sundari’s teaser and behind-the-scenes clips featuring the two actors. But with Pardesiya, they have established themselves as a convincing pair of individuals who are deeply in love in the audiences’ eye,” reads one user comment that reflects the wider sentiment online.

The song delivers a sequence that many fans are already calling iconic — a near kiss between the leads, amplifying the emotional pull of the number. As one admirer put it, “The song, helmed by Sonu Nigam, Krishnakali Saha and Sachin-Jigar transports you to a land far far away from reality, where old school romance and charm take over your senses. The song in itself is beautiful, with a lush green picturesque background. But the highlight, like frosting on a delicious cake, is Janhvi and Sidharth’s chemistry. Just when you think this can’t get any better, the two share an almost-kiss, leaving us with butterflies in our stomach.”

The music video has quickly garnered praise for its visual grandeur and emotional tone, with social media abuzz with glowing reactions. “Ngl the song is beautiful, the cinematography is superb and the leads look gorgeous???? I can't believe I'm saying this but Jhanvi is looking good in the film. As for Sidharth Malhotra, dude's aging like fine wine????,” commented a viewer. Another wrote, “Ok Sonu Nigam’s voice ???????? sweet like honey. At least the song sounds good and the music video is visually stunning.”

Echoing the nostalgia many feel with the return of Sonu Nigam’s voice to a mainstream romantic number, a fan noted, “Loving the song, it's on repeat. Sonu is such a gem, listening to him gives me 2000s Bollywood nostalgia. Even Sid and Janhvi have good chemistry here. If the good romance song streak continues then I'm sure this too will have a good run in the BO.”

With Pardesiya striking the right chord and building excitement for Param Sundari, all eyes are now on the film’s upcoming releases. If this song is anything to go by, Bollywood lovers are in for a heartfelt cinematic experience.
