Sam C.S. makes a powerful musical debut on Hindi television with Naagin 7
The ever-popular Naagin franchise has long been synonymous with larger-than-life drama and instantly hummable music. This season, the show takes a fresh musical turn as acclaimed composer Sam C.S. has been roped in to score a brand-new title song for Colors’ Naagin 7 — his first project for Hindi television and his first collaboration with Balaji Telefilms.
Why Sam C.S. was the natural pick
Ekta Kapoor and her team wanted a song that could match the show’s amplified visual scale. Naagin 7 leans heavily on AI and advanced VFX to create a more cinematic, immersive world, and the makers needed music that would heighten that spectacle. With a track record of crafting intense, visually driven soundscapes in films such as Pushpa and Mahavatar Narsimha, Sam C.S. fit the brief perfectly.
“My musical journey has predominantly been rooted in Tamil and Malayalam cinema, but I believe that music knows no geographic boundaries,” Sam said, explaining how the opportunity came about. He added that when his production manager, Ms Mahima, suggested the Naagin franchise, the decision to come on board was effortless because of the show’s vast reach across North India.
A collaboration built on trust
Sam C.S. also expressed gratitude toward Ekta Kapoor for trusting him with this high-profile assignment. “Being part of such a mega-franchise is a responsibility I didn’t take lightly,” he said, calling it a privilege to contribute to Naagin’s legacy and sharing how thrilled he is with the finished title track. He congratulated the creative team for their hard work and dedication in bringing the song to life.
What to expect from Naagin 7’s new sound
- Grand, cinematic scoring: Music designed to sit alongside heavy VFX and AI-enhanced visuals.
- Emotional intensity: A title track meant to amplify the drama and stakes of the season’s narrative.
- Cross-cultural flair: Sam C.S.’s South Indian film background bringing a fresh sonic palette to a North Indian TV audience.
Cast, premiere and the bigger picture
Naagin 7 premiered on December 27 and features Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, Eisha Singh and Namit Paul in key roles. With Ekta Kapoor’s vision, Balaji Telefilms’ production values, cutting-edge VFX and Sam C.S.’s new musical identity, the show aims to deliver a bolder, more immersive experience for long-time fans and new viewers alike.
Why this matters to fans
For viewers, the combination of upgraded visuals and a strong new title song means a more cinematic television experience. The Naagin franchise is known for its catchy music, and this fresh collaboration promises a title track that could become as recognisable as previous seasons’ themes — only this time with a modern, high-decibel treatment that mirrors the show’s technical upgrades.
Final note
Sam C.S.’s entry into the Naagin universe marks an exciting musical shift for the franchise. With creative ambition on all fronts — VFX, AI, storytelling and sound — Naagin 7 looks set to raise the bar for fantasy television in India.
