Kishore Kumar’s AI-generated version of Saiyaara goes viral online. Fans call it nostalgic, soulful—some even say it’s better than the original.
An AI-generated version of Saiyaara featuring the recreated voice of Kishore Kumar has gone viral, blending nostalgia with cutting-edge tech.
The chart-topping title track of Saiyaara has already cemented its place as a musical phenomenon. But now, a fan-made AI-generated version featuring the legendary voice of Kishore Kumar has added a nostalgic twist to the viral wave. Set against visuals of Rimjhim Gire Sawan, the AI cover has taken social media by storm, sparking debate over creativity, ethics, and authenticity in the age of artificial intelligence.
The edit juxtaposes Kishore Kumar’s recreated vocals with the classic rainy Mumbai visuals of Amitabh Bachchan and Moushumi Chatterjee from the 1970s hit—creating a surreal time-travel moment for music lovers.

Online, the video has stirred both admiration and skepticism. “This is so soothing, at first I thought the Saiyaara song was rewritten,” commented one user on X. Another gushed, “The edit is really good, even better than the original.” A third added bluntly, “India literally lost real creators in music industry.”
But not everyone was sold. While many applauded the technical finesse, die-hard Kishore Kumar fans pushed back, calling the AI voice a pale imitation of the original. “Only true Kishore fans will not go ‘wow’ on this video effort. The original song + the video is a masterpiece. None can replace them even if may seem perfect fit for some noobs,” one post read.
Another critic added, “Good effort with retro-style rhythm arrangement… sounds better than original… yet not even 10% of the power, energy, vibrancy, voice, singing of what KK could have achieved.”
This online buzz comes on the heels of Saiyaara’s historic global run. The Faheem Abdullah-sung ballad recently became the first Hindi song to top Spotify’s Global Viral 50 chart, and also entered Spotify’s Top 10 worldwide—a rare feat for a Bollywood track.
Directed by Mohit Suri, Saiyaara stars newcomers Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. The film has crossed ₹250 crore at the box office, and the song—composed by Tanishk Bagchi, Faheem Abdullah, and Arslan Nizami—has played a pivotal role in its cultural dominance.
