This year we film which carries not just a soundtrack, but a heart-beating-through-song experience that defines characters, fuels emotions, and paints eras. Here, let’s have a look at the films that bring back true Indian melodies on the big screens

#MannuKyaKaregga? : Curious Eyes Cinema’s much-anticipated drama has already struck a chord with its deeply rooted, melodic soundtrack. The songs composed by legendary Lalit Pandit are not mere fillers; they act as narrative milestones, exploring love, longing, and youthful abandon. The chemistry of the lead pair, Vyom and Saachi Bindra, comes alive not just on screen but through the timeless music album anchored with vocals of Shaan, Akriti Kakar, Mohit Chauhan, Stebin Ben, Malini Awasthi that has quickly become a talking point.

#Saiyaara : Carrying forward the essence of timeless romance, Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda starrer Saiyaara leans into traditional compositions layered with modern arrangements. The result is music that went on to become a chartbuster across the nations, helped the film to increase its reach, and became a blockbuster.

#ParamSundari : Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor’s Param Sundari takes a completely different turn, presenting a soundtrack drenched in the composition of all genres. The album is a celebration of grace and emotion, woven together in melodies that resonate deeply with Indian sensibilities. The songs like Pardesiya, Bheegi Saare, and others are ruling the charts of the audience.

#MetroInDino : Anurag Basu is known for bringing a melodious soundtrack, and he carried the same legacy in Metro In Dino, whose music is soulful, reflective, and narrative-driven. The songs are crafted not just as background but as essential characters themselves, exploring urban love, heartbreak, and self-discovery.

The resurgence of melody in 2025 is not just a musical trend; it is a cultural shift. Audiences are rediscovering the magic of songs that tell stories, songs that can be hummed across timelines, and songs that etch themselves into memory. Unlike the transient high of a remix, these tracks offer longevity — the kind of music that defines personal moments and national moods alike.

Upon being asked the most filmy thing he has done for love, Malhotra revealed, “One would be celebrating six months of dating, where I planned where the car will stop, how as soon as she opened the car, there were flowers, leading her to a restaurant. I arranged a lot of flowers, made a nice trail going to the table. And there was a nice handwritten letter there.”

Sharing a romantic thing a partner has done to impress her, Kapoor said, “I would say he had taken a really long trip, gone through a long journey to come and meet me for a short span of time. Once from London to Bombay, to see me for just like 5 hours because I had a really bad dream and I was panicking.”

Revealing his idea of a perfect date, Malhotra said, “A good place on a good evening which is not so hot. Then, after a meal, a walk on the beach. I’m more of a beach person. So definitely, a nice date on the beach. A walk at night.”

On her most ridiculous excuse to turn down unwanted advances, Kapoor revealed, “I’ve said I’m married a lot. Someone coming up to me in person has mostly been outside of India. A lot of waiters in LA would send me their phone number or get me something that I didn’t order. I was with Orry once and said he’s my husband.”

Kapoor also revealed her dealbreaker for a first date, she said, “The first date is a big one. They shouldn’t show up late, in fact they should show up early. They should seem nervous.” She continued, “Intangible and emotional gestures mean a lot more to me than tangible materialistic things.”

On being asked his learnings about love through the making of Param Sundari, Malhotra revealed, “Param and Sundari’s love story will make you believe in faith and in destiny, in the most funny and weirdest way. If two people are destined to meet, fate will find a way to bring you together.”

Kapoor added, “I don’t think love is only romantic. There is a lot of love we both have towards our work. During our tough days, it wasn’t thinking about the finish line or how maybe we’ll reap certain rewards that was making us go through with it. I think it was purely for the love of cinema, or the idea that we’ll create something that is fun and memorable to watch.”

At the centre of the story is #SidharthMalhotra as #ParamSachdev, a young man torn between modern ambitions and age-old traditions, and #JanhviKapoor as Thekkepattu Sundari Damodaram Pillai, who is graceful, strong-willed, and deeply rooted in her cultural identity. Param visits Kerala to meet Sundari as part of a project for his startup, but he actually falls in love with her. She too, though silently, starts liking him. However, her uncle Bhargavan Nair (played by Renji Panicker) fixes her kalyanam (marriage) to his son Dr. Venu Nair (played by Siddhartha Shankar). Their love life faces hiccups due to societal pressures and cultural differences. What transpires next forms the crux of the story.

The story reminds one of Chennai Express and lacks novelty. The screenplay feels amateurish and shoddy, but the dialogues, at some places, sparkle. The music is good, especially the title track and the end-credit song. Cinematographically, the film is rich with visual storytelling, Kerala’s lush landscapes contrast sharply with the urban settings of Param’s world, symbolizing the central conflict between tradition and modernity.

The chemistry between Sidharth and Janhvi is good, and both look appealing on screen. Sidharth has tried his hand at comedy but still needs to polish his skills. Janhvi looks beautiful in every frame and has delivered a decent performance. Others, including Sanjay Kapoor, Manjot Singh, and Inayat Verma, lend good support.

Param Sundari is worth a watch for those who enjoy stories of love versus tradition.

Kapil kickstarted the episode by joking that everyone has a “Param Sundari” in life, either a crush or their own wife. He teases Sidharth about his seamless on-screen romance post-marriage, only to get a cheeky comeback from the star who smiled and said, _“bhai hum saal mein ek ya do baar romance karte hain on screen, aap toh sau episode mein…..”.

In the upcoming episode, fans will also get to see the actor sharing an adorable glimpse into his new life as a papa saying, _“arey pura schedule change ho gaya, abhi main waheen se aa raha hoon subeh subeh. Chahe woh khaane peene ka dhyaan ho, unke sleeping pattern ho, aaj kal raat ko late nights chal rahi hai par alag kisam ki! Teen chaar baje feeding ho raha.”_ He warmly adds, _“main toh abhi supporting actor play kar raha hoon, jo sirf wahan pe khade hoke dekh raha hai.”_ When Archana Puran Singh grills him on diaper duties, he admits, _“kiya hai diaper change, aur bina diaper ka ‘oops moment’ bhi experience kiya hai ab toh.”_ The new papa on the block couldn’t stop gushing talking about his new role in life.

Kapil also turns on the charm, asking Janhvi Kapoor if he looks more handsome after his weight loss, and slyly tries to trick Manjot Singh on his preference after working on both Param Sundari and Kis Kis Ko Pyaar Karoon 2. Meanwhile, a fan from Oman stirs up chaos by declaring her love for Kapil and Sidhu ji.

And if that wasn’t enough, Sunil Grover as Bansuri, Dr. Sanket Bhosale as Munna Bhai (in a guest appearance), and Kiku Sharda as Circuit leave the guests in splits. Sanjay Kapoor belly dances with Kapil, and Sidharth shows off his push-up power!

Fatherhood confessions, filmy fun, and the gang’s hilarious punchlines makes us want to call this episode PARAM COMEDY.

An episode full of laughter, love, and unforgettable moments awaits on Saturday, 30th August at 8:00PM , only on Netflix.

“Other than the fact that it’s cross-cultural, Param Sundari deals with a very relevant theme affecting young people right now,” Vijan shared. “Param comes from a place deeply influenced by technology, he’s somebody who really believes in apps.“

He further adds, “While our girl – Sundari belongs to a world where tech hasn’t made much of an impact. There are still pockets in India where life is very simple. This dynamic is what excited me to make the film.”

At the heart of Param Sundari lies a very current dilemma – how today’s youth, often over-reliant on apps for everything from ordering food to finding love, may overlook the beauty of more organic, simpler connections. Through Param and Sundari’s contrasting worlds, the film highlights that one must trust their own instincts over everything else.

Vijan also spoke about the casting of #SidharthMalhotra and #JanhviKapoor in this romantic comedy. “Sid is such a good-looking boy, but he hasn’t done a rom-com in six years. And Janhvi, while she’s very much like Sundari in spirit, has never played a character like this. It’s very interesting to see these two come together.”

He went on to explain how the film reflects Maddock Films’ larger vision of telling cross-cultural stories that resonate with contemporary audiences.

With Param Sundari, Vijan promises a film that is as much about laughter and romance as it is about the diverse cultures of India.

The #TigerShroff actioner, part of the popular Baaghi franchise, has been drawing audience interest, ever since the teaser was released recently. The film’s dominance on the anticipation charts highlights the continued appeal of mass action cinema in India.

Close behind Baaghi 4 is Pawan Kalyan’s They Call Him OG, securing the second spot with 13.8%. The Telugu biggie, helmed by Sujeeth, has been generating enormous hype, particularly due to Pawan Kalyan’s return in a stylish gangster avatar. Scheduled to release on September 25, the movie promises to be a big-screen action spectacle.

At number three is Sidharth Malhotra and Janhvi Kapoor’s romantic comedy #ParamSundari (12.4%). The movie is slated to release on August 29. Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi’s #JollyLLB3 (9.9%), scheduled for September 19 release, finds itself in fourth position currently, proving that courtroom drama-comedies still hold wide audience appeal even in a crowded lineup of mega-budget entertainers.

The fifth to tenth positions show a diverse mix of genres and industries, signalling how anticipation in Indian cinema is no longer confined to just one region or style. Anime-inspired #Mirai (9.5%) has carved its way into the fifth slot, while #LokahChapterOne: Chandra (8.7%) and #TheBengalFiles (6.9%) further add to the range with fantasy storytelling and politically charged drama, respectively.

#RaghuDakat (5.3%) and #Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1 (5.2%) showcase how period dramas and franchise-driven sequels continue to attract attention, with #Kaantha (3.9%) rounding off the top ten. The rating of the top 10 movies is based on IMDb’s page views, which keep changing.

From the captivating trailer to its soulful music, Janhvi has already sparked curiosity with her transformation into a character written as half Tamil and half Malayali — a first in her career.

During the Delhi promotions of Param Sundari, co-star #SidharthMalhotra couldn’t stop praising Janhvi’s dedication and natural flair.
“I had a wonderful time working with Janhvi,” Sidharth shared. “Her work ethic is something I absolutely love, especially in a genre like this. More than just relying on the script, she brings instinct to her performance, reacts in the moment, and creates that magic every actor looks for. And Janhvi has that instinct in abundance.”

Highlighting her collaborative spirit, he added, “She’s always forthcoming when it comes to trying new things and improvising. You can already see glimpses of that magic in the trailer.”

Sidharth fondly recalled one of his favourite scenes, where Janhvi’s Kerala-born character schools his North Indian boy about India’s linguistic diversity. “One of my most favourite scenes of hers is when she channels her inner Malayalam force and schools us North Indian boys about the different languages in our country,” he said with a smile.

As for what’s next, Janhvi has a packed line-up — sharing screen space with Varun Dhawan in Karan Johar’s Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari and stepping into her first big pan-India outing Peddi opposite Ram Charan.

If Pardesiya was a hark-back to the soft love song of 90s, and Bheegi Saaree was a sizzling ode to the classic rain song of Bollywood, Sunn Mere Yaar Ve is a very urban love song, with a fresh contemporary vibe.

The video has Sidharth Malhotra lip-syncing to Aditya’s soulful voice as he expresses what true love means to him for his Sundari, played by Janhvi Kapoor. The video has a some beautifully shot montages of the lead pair, making it for an arresting watch. With its catchy hook line, words that will resonate with Gen-Z audiences and strong visuals , Sunn Mere Yaar Ve promises to be the next favourite from the album, striking a chord with music lovers across all moods.

Aditya Rikhari, sharing his excitement, said: “Being a part of Param Sundari feels truly special. Sunn Mere Yaar Ve is my new Bollywood song, and I’m grateful to be a part of this film that I myself was looking forward to. Collaborating with someone like Sachin–Jigar, whom I deeply respect, has been an incredible experience. Siddharth and Jahnvi’s chemistry looks just amazing on screen, and I can’t wait for listeners to vibe with the track the way I did while creating it. “

Sidharth Malhotra praised Aditya’s voice and the track, saying: “Sunn Mere Yaar Ve is my kind of love song—the kind that lingers long after you’ve heard it. Bringing this emotion alive on screen was truly special, and I’ve always felt that love melodies have a unique place in my journey. Aditya’s soulful touch adds an extra charm to the track, and I hope fans experience that same magic when they watch and listen to it. “

Gaurav Chaturvedi, VP, Head of Commercial Music – Universal Music Group said: Aditya Rikhari is one of the most popular singers in today’s times and he resonates with the youth all across. To have him sing this song, with the melody of Sachin-Jigar, Amitabh Bhattacharya’s words, and of course, the scene-stealing visual chemistry of Sidharth and Jahnvi – we have a potential chartbuster in our hands. We are really excited to bring this song out as a part of the Param Sundari soundtrack. “

Three songs in, and the trailer opening to an overwhelming response, Param Sundari continues to build anticipation, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the full album and full film experience.

Her dialect coach took to Instagram to applaud her dedication, writing, “You have worked so hard on getting your Malayalam dialogues and accent correct and I am so proud with how it has come out as a Malayali. The accent, dialect, and diction is perfect and I was so happy to see how you have given your best and paid attention to every detail. You sound perfect as a half Malayali, half Tamil ponnu. Can’t wait for everyone to meet Sundari ”

In the trailer, Janhvi’s hard work shines through — from the lilting rhythm of her speech to the cultural authenticity she brings on screen. Her final monologue, laced with wit and rooted in her character’s South Indian pride, is already being called one of the highlights of the film.

Param Sundari pairs Janhvi with Sidharth Malhotra in a North-meets-South love story that promises to blend romance, humour, and heart. With such attention to detail in performance, Janhvi’s Sundari might just be one of her most memorable roles yet.
