After weeks of anticipation, Pardesiya, the much-awaited romantic track from the upcoming film Param Sundari, is finally here, and fans are calling it a “soulful return to classic Bollywood.” Featuring Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor, the song marks the musical return of Sonu Nigam, whose voice once again proves timeless.
Sonu Nigam brings back thee OG romance
Originally teased in the trailer for Param Sundari, the song’s release was delayed alongside the film’s postponed July 25 premiere. But the moment Pardesiya begins, it’s clear the wait was more than worth it. Drenched in nostalgia, the track evokes the golden era of early 2000s Bollywood with a hauntingly beautiful melody, heartfelt lyrics, and cinematic visuals that echo classics like Suraj Hua Maddham and Saathiya. The music has been composed by Sachin Jigar while the lyrics have been penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya.
Sidharth and Janhvi’s chemistry adds a dreamy layer to the visuals, but it’s Sonu’s emotive vocals that elevate Pardesiya into something truly special. Fans have been quick to praise not just the iconic singer but also the female vocalist, calling the duet “soulful, fresh, and calming.”
