Trivia

• The song title "Yeh Hum Aa Gaye Hain Kahan" was meant to be the film's main title but Yash Chopra felt that "Veer-Zaara" went better with the epic mood of the film.

• The title of the song was made from the song of Yash Chopra's film Silsila "Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum", being slightly different from "Yeh Hum Aa Gaye Hain Kahan".

• The song was removed from the film in post-production due to concerns over the length of the film.
