There is a particular warmth that comes with a Sooraj Barjatya film, where romance rarely exists in isolation. Families, rituals, celebrations, relationships and music become part of the emotional landscape. The title track of Yeh Prem Mol Liya appears to embrace that familiar world while introducing Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari as a new generation of Prem and his romantic universe.

Directed by Sooraj R. Barjatya, Yeh Prem Mol Liya stars Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari in the lead, with Anupam Kher, Supriya Pathak, Seema Pahwa, Saumya Tandon and Swanand Kirkire among the supporting cast. The film is scheduled to release theatrically on November 27, 2026.
A Title Track That Understands the Barjatya Grammar
Composed by Himesh Reshammiya, written by Kumaar and sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Nihal Tauro, the title track is built around an uncomplicated idea: love that is celebrated rather than hidden.
The song moves through weddings, family gatherings, mehndi, sehra, festive processions and traditional celebrations, with Chhath also finding a place within the visual storytelling. Rather than presenting romance against a detached cinematic backdrop, the song places the relationship inside a larger family ecosystem.
That is where the track feels most aligned with Barjatya's filmmaking sensibility. The romance is personal, but the celebration is collective.
Himesh Reshammiya Brings the Melody Back Into Focus
The reunion between Himesh Reshammiya and Sooraj Barjatya carries its own significance. The two previously collaborated on Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, and Yeh Prem Mol Liya brings them together again after more than a decade.
The title track does not appear interested in reinventing the traditional Bollywood wedding song. Instead, it leans into melody, emotion and orchestral grandeur. The song was also launched with a live 25-piece orchestra at Mumbai's Royal Opera House, underlining the importance the makers are placing on music in the film's promotional campaign.
Shreya Ghoshal's vocals add the emotional polish expected from a large-scale romantic soundtrack, while Nihal Tauro complements the male vocal portions. Kumaar's lyrics keep the central sentiment direct rather than overly complicated.
Ayushmann and Sharvari Look at Home in the Festivities
Visually, Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari are surrounded by the familiar ingredients of a Rajshri celebration colourful décor, traditional attire, large family gatherings and elaborate wedding rituals.
What works particularly well is that the spectacle does not completely overpower the couple. Amid the large celebrations, the song makes room for glances, chemistry and quieter romantic moments between the two leads. That balance gives the song a sense of character rather than making it merely a wedding montage.
For Ayushmann, stepping into the character of Prem also carries an obvious legacy. The character has been strongly associated with Sooraj Barjatya's cinema, and this film introduces Khurrana as the latest actor to carry that name on screen.
What the Promotional Material Promises
The makers have revealed enough to establish the film's emotional world, while keeping the larger story relatively guarded. Based on the title track and available promotional information, Yeh Prem Mol Liya appears firmly positioned as a musical family entertainer rooted in romance, relationships and Indian traditions.
The production's scale is visible, but the more interesting aspect is its commitment to a cinematic language that has become closely identified with Barjatya: love surrounded by family.
The film is produced by Rajshri Productions and Mahaveer Jain Films, with Himesh Reshammiya handling the music. It is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on November 27, 2026.
The Verdict
The Yeh Prem Mol Liya title track feels less like an attempt to chase contemporary musical trends and more like a deliberate return to the pleasures of melody, romance and family celebration.
Whether the full soundtrack can sustain that feeling remains to be seen, but the first musical glimpse establishes a clear identity. It is colourful without losing its emotional centre, grand without abandoning the couple, and traditional without feeling disconnected from its new-generation cast.
For audiences who associate Sooraj Barjatya with music-led romance and family storytelling, Yeh Prem Mol Liya is already signalling that the old-school Bollywood celebration is very much alive.
