Dhun from Saiyaara enters Spotify Global Top 100; Mithoon calls it ‘a celebration of Indian music’s global potential’

Composed by Mithoon, sung by Arijit Singh, Dhun is now the second song from the ₹541 crore-grossing film to enter the Spotify Top 100 Global ChartsFor the 40-year-old composer, the journey of Dhun reaching global audiences has been “extraordinary”.“This achievement represents not just personal success, but the growing recognition of Indian cinema’s musical artistry on the world stage. I’m deeply grateful to see our authentic storytelling resonate with listeners everywhere,” he says, adding that creating Dhun was “a deeply emotional experience” and that seeing it connect with listeners worldwide is “immensely rewarding” — something he calls “a celebration of Indian music’s global potential.”The song brought together Mithoon, Arijit Singh and Mohit Suri, a team that has previously delivered some of the Hindi film industry’s most enduring chartbusters with Aashiqui 2, Ek Villain, Hamari Adhuri Kahani, Malang and Half Girlfriend. Arijit says “collaborating with Mohit Suri and Mithoon again feels like returning to a creative sanctuary” and also added that Dhun “embodies that magic” while giving him joy to see it so well received. Mohit, on the other hand calls the success of Dhun and Saiyaara “a testament to the power of storytelling and music”, adding, “With Mithoon around me, it’s never a surprise.”With Saiyaara, starring newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, already the second-highest-grossing film of 2025, its music is being hailed as a watershed moment for Bollywood on the global stage. And with the Netflix release set for September 12, its reach is only set to grow further.
