Making of Saiyaara’s ‘Tum Ho Toh’: Singer and music composer Vishal Mishra says, "It comes from a beautiful place, a Sufi space"
Mohit Suri’s Saiyaara, featuring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, brings back the charm of old-school romantic storytelling in Hindi cinema with its captivating visuals and soulful music. One such track is ‘Tum Ho Toh’, composed by Vishal Mishra, sung by Vishal Mishra and Hansika Pareek, with lyrics penned by Raj Shekhar. In a recent YRF video, the team behind the song shared insights into its creation.
Talking about the creation of ‘Tum Ho Toh’, Mohit Suri said, “Vishal and me go a long way, and while everyone is going to him with the very serious, somber, angsty songs, I said, there’s a happy side to you, Vishal. There’s a fun side to you, and let’s make a song on that side. But still in the romantic thing, which is not emotionless. And that’s how ‘Tum Ho Toh’ came.”
Singer Vishal Mishra shared his experience working with Mohit Suri, saying, “He believes that I should make more fun songs. And he said, I want you to make a song that is fun yet soulful, yet romantic, and yet very exuberant of young love. It was beautiful. So we had to make a very fresh song. And Raj Shekhar was there and he came up with my most favorite line of the song. That if you are around me, everything is just beautiful.”
Raj Shekhar said, “Mohit sir’s brief was to create a song that carries the energy of youth but also has a certain stillness to it. Like one of the lines says, ‘Even recklessness with you feels like peace.’ I had written the initial part of the song first, and Vishal composed it based on that. From there, the song started to take shape.”
Talking about working with Vishal Mishra, Mohit Suri said, “Vishal hears a brief of the whole film and the story and he says what is the thought you know it just comes to him it’s like ‘I’m feeling this, I’m feeling that’. You know what I like about Vishal is he can work with you for the whole day and then turn around and tell you we need to make something better.”
Describing the emotion behind the song, Raj Shekhar said, “It’s about two people coming together and trying to find eternity in a single moment. I feel that when two beautiful hearts meet, that one moment becomes something that lasts forever.”
Vishal added, “It comes from a beautiful place, a Sufi space. So it’s special for me, very, very special to Raj ji, and to Mohit as well. I want you to go and give it all your love—make it your own song. You’ll find a part of yourself in it, some vulnerable, scattered piece of your soul.”
