The composer took to social media to share his experience, saying the financial returns did not reflect the effort he invested in creating one of the film&#8217;s biggest musical successes.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"3\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Composer says the song demanded his complete dedication<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"5\"\/>Reflecting on the making of the title track, Tanishk said he devoted himself to every stage of the creative process. He explained that he was deeply involved in the production, composition, recording and overall sound of the song.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"7\"\/> <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>He wrote, &#8220;I gave this song everything I had. From the production to the composition, working with the lyricist and singers, recording, vocal tuning, sound, arrangements every single detail mattered to me. <!-- -->I treated it like it was my own. Whatever YRF had paid me, all of that nominal amount was used to do the live and mixes&#8230; what was left was zero, yes. That&#8217;s what I earned from a song so big.&#8221;<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>According to the composer, the project required both significant time and personal commitment. He suggested that the financial outcome did not match the level of work that went into the chart-topping track. Tanishk also claimed that the royalty statement available to him showed earnings of Rs 8 lakh from the song. He said he found the amount disappointing, considering the title track&#8217;s popularity across streaming services and digital platforms.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>He added, &#8220;What hurts the most is that, as per the royalty statement, I\u2019m still yet to receive just Rs 8 lakh in royalties for a song that has gone on to do millions of streams and views across platforms. Honestly, for the amount of work, time and passion I put into this song, Rs 8 lakh feels like peanuts. <!-- -->I genuinely believed a song that reached this scale would have earned much more. I\u2019m not writing this for sympathy. I\u2019m writing this because I know what I put into this song, and I know the sacrifices I made to bring it to life.<!-- --> This experience has changed the way I look at this industry.

The statement read, &#8220;\u2018Saiyaara\u2019 title track was a beautiful collaboration between three composers (Tanishk Bagchi along with Faheem Abdullah and Arslan Nizami).
