Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor's upcoming film Param Sundari has already generated positive buzz among movie buffs for its storyline. While there is a month to go for the release of the film, the buzz has only increased with the release of the film's first single 'Pardesiya' visualised on the film's leads and the soulful romance that brews between them. Ever since the song was released, the internet has been swooning to the melodious tunes composed by Sachin-Jigar, who have also sung it along with Sonu Nigam, and Krishnakali Saha.
One user said it was "Truly the song my soul was waiting for," while another noted they were "obsessed" with it, calling 'Pardesiya' a "peak Bollywood romantic song". Many also drew comparisons to Roja’s 'Yeh Haseen Wadiyan' and hailed the song as a '90s-coded romantic number that triggerred certain nostalgia associated with the time.
Anshula Kapoor also gave a huge shout-out to the upcoming film and said she was excited to watch Param Sundari.
After the song's release, Sidharth said: “'Pardesiya' isn’t just a song, it’s a feeling that stays with you long after it ends. Sachin–Jigar and Amitabh have yet again created pure magic. The moment I heard the track, I knew it had something special.”
He added: “Sonu sir’s voice brings a timeless emotion to it, and lip syncing to his voice for a love song is truly special. Shooting alongside Janhvi was effortless. It’s been one of my personal favourite love songs to shoot."
Param Sundari is directed by Tushar Jalota (Dasvi, 2022), who has also written the screenplay with Aarsh Vora. It has been officially described as “Where North’s fire meets South’s grace, it calls for the biggest love story of the year.”
The film is produced by Dinesh Vijan and it was earlier set to be released in theatres on July 25 but was delayed. It will now hit the screen on August 29.
The romantic-drama will mark the first collaboration between Sidharth and Janhvi. Sidharth was last seen in the actioner Yodha (2024) and he also has the folk-thriller Vvan—Force of the Forrest in the pipeline. Meanwhile Janhvi’s Homebound was recently screened at Cannes. She was last seen in the espionage thriller Ulajh last year.
