MUMBAI– The first track from the upcoming film Param Sundari has officially dropped, and it’s already tugging at heartstrings. Titled Pardesiya, the romantic ballad stars Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, and has quickly become one of Malhotra’s personal favorites to shoot.
“Pardesiya isn’t just a song—it’s a feeling that lingers long after it ends,” said Sidharth. “Sachin–Jigar and Amitabh Bhattacharya have created pure magic. The moment I heard the track, I knew it was special. And having Sonu Nigam lend his voice brings a timeless emotion to it. Lip-syncing to his voice in a love song is always a privilege. Shooting with Janhvi was effortless—it’s truly one of my favorite romantic tracks I’ve filmed.”
Composed by the acclaimed duo Sachin–Jigar and penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya, Pardesiya is sung by Sonu Nigam and Krishnakali Saha. The song captures the quiet ache of longing, the anticipation before a first touch, and the unspoken bond between two hearts. Released under Universal Music, it sets the emotional tone for what promises to be an evocative cross-cultural love story.
Actress Janhvi Kapoor echoed the excitement, saying, “I’ve always had a soft spot for love songs, and Pardesiya is one of the most beautiful ones I’ve worked on. Sonu Nigam’s voice adds such depth to the emotion—it becomes unforgettable. I’m certain audiences will feel that connection.”
Veteran playback singer Sonu Nigam shared his enthusiasm as well. “It’s always a joy to lend my voice to heartfelt love songs, and Pardesiya from Param Sundari is something truly special,” he said. “Even from the first look, the response was so warm—I couldn’t wait for the full release. Watching Sidharth and Janhvi bring that chemistry to life on screen just adds another layer of magic. Their pairing is fresh and electric. I think audiences are going to fall in love with the song—and with them.”
Set against the picturesque backdrop of Kerala’s serene backwaters, Param Sundari tells the story of a romance between a North Indian man, played by Malhotra, and a South Indian woman, portrayed by Kapoor. The film’s first visuals were unveiled on Wednesday with the release of an eye-catching motion poster. In the teaser, the two protagonists cross paths—he in casual travel attire, she mid-performance in classical Indian dance, dressed in an elegant saree.
The motion poster ends with the announcement: “In cinemas worldwide. August 29, 2025. A Maddock Films Production.” The caption for the release added: “Dinesh Vijan brings to you the Biggest Love Story of the Year. Param Sundari arrives in cinemas on August 29. And in just one hour, feel its soul with the year’s most heartfelt song—Pardesiya.”
Originally scheduled for a July 25 release, Param Sundari now debuts on August 29. The film promises to blend regional culture with universal emotion, brought to life by a fresh on-screen pairing and a soundtrack already generating buzz. (Source: IANS)
