Sara Ali Khan’s Romantic Avatar in ‘Chann’ Wins Praise as Chemistry with Ayushmann Khurrana Charms Fans
From expressive glances to old-school Bollywood romance, Sara Ali Khan’s appearance in the new Udta Teer song has drawn appreciative reactions ahead of the film’s theatrical release.
Sara Ali Khan is bringing a touch of classic Bollywood romance to the screen with Chann, the newly released love song from her upcoming film Udta Teer, opposite Ayushmann Khurrana. Unveiled on October 19, the romantic track showcases a softer side of the lead pair's relationship, with Sara's expressive performance and their on-screen chemistry becoming talking points in reactions shared following the song's release.
Sung by Arijit Singh, composed by Sachin-Jigar and written by Amitabh Bhattacharya, Chann combines a gentle melody with picturesque settings and intimate moments between its lead actors. For Sara, the song offers an opportunity to revisit the romantic screen presence that has been part of her appeal in films such as Kedarnath, Atrangi Re and Zara Hatke Zara Bachke.
Sara Ali Khan’s Expressions and Romantic Charm Draw Fan Appreciation in Chann
While the song introduces another musical dimension to Udta Teer, several reactions highlighted in publicity material have focused particularly on Sara's expressions, appearance and effortless chemistry with Ayushmann.
One admirer described her screen presence enthusiastically, writing, "The way #SaraAliKhan looks in Chann from #UdtaTeer, those expressions that softnes THE PRETTINESS?? Girl was made for romance."
Another fan celebrated the pairing, commenting, "aahhh #Sara and #Aayushman together in a romantic song is the best! their chemistry is just magical!"
The appreciation also extends to Sara's ability to communicate emotion through understated gestures. One reaction compared her screen presence with the timeless appeal of traditional Hindi-film heroines, saying, "#SaraAliKhan has that old-school romantic heroine charm that makes you want to replay the song 50 times!!"
Together, these comments suggest that Sara's romantic presentation has resonated with at least a section of the audience, particularly viewers who enjoy the expressive, melody-driven storytelling associated with Bollywood love songs.
Chann Adds an Emotional Dimension to Udta Teer
Beyond the appreciation surrounding Sara, Chann serves a distinct purpose in the film's promotional campaign. Positioned as a spy comedy, Udta Teer draws much of its appeal from humour, action and unexpected situations. The romantic song introduces a contrasting emotional tone, allowing audiences to see Ayushmann and Sara's characters beyond the film's comic and espionage-driven premise.
This contrast is significant from a storytelling perspective. Romance can lend emotional depth to a comedy built around confusion and conflict, provided the relationship is convincingly developed within the narrative.
The musical combination of Arijit Singh's vocals, Sachin-Jigar's composition and Amitabh Bhattacharya's lyrics adds to the song's traditional Hindi-film romantic character.
Written and directed by Aakash Kaushik, Udta Teer is backed by Dharma Productions and Sikhya Entertainment and is scheduled to arrive in cinemas on October 23, 2026.
With Chann, the makers have shifted the promotional spotlight from the film's comic energy to its romantic relationship. Whether that chemistry becomes an equally compelling part of the theatrical experience remains to be seen, but the song has already offered audiences another perspective on the lead pairing.
