सिद्धांत कौशल

Siddhant Kaushal is a Hindi film lyricist and trained singer from Jalandhar, Punjab, who has quietly become one of the busier pens in contemporary Bollywood. He moved to Mumbai in 2012 hoping to make it as a playback singer; his switch to lyric-writing happened almost by accident, when a composer friend asked him to draft dummy lyrics for a tune and the producer approved them as they were. Since then he has written close to two hundred released songs across films such as Tumhari Sulu (2017), Badla (2019), Jai Mummy Di (2020), Bob Biswas (2021), Thank You for Coming (2023), Kill (2024), Deva (2025), Dhoom Dhaam (2025) and Baramulla (2025), for which he wrote the title track and songs like 'Dil Dil Dil' and 'Phir Se Dikhe'. His haunting 'Nikat', sung by Rekha Bhardwaj for Kill, earned him a Filmfare Best Lyricist nomination at the 70th Filmfare Awards. He also co-wrote 'Guzar Jayega', the pandemic-era hope anthem featuring Amitabh Bachchan that was shared by the Prime Minister's Office. Critics note his range: he moves easily between conversational, hook-driven party numbers and metaphor-rich, classically tinged poetry, a versatility rooted in his light-classical vocal training. He continues to sing on selected tracks alongside his writing work.
