The wait is finally over! The much-anticipated film Dhurandhar has just released its powerful title track, Na De Dil Pardesi Nu (Jogi). Starring a star-studded cast including Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun, the film has already generated significant buzz since its teaser dropped. Now, with this new track, the excitement has reached new heights.
Released by Saregama India in collaboration with Jio Studios and B62 Studios, the anthem perfectly captures the high-energy spirit of Dhurandhar. The music, a dynamic blend of Punjabi folk and pulsating modern beats, is a creation of Shashwat Sachdev and Charanjit Ahuja. The vocals are a powerhouse ensemble featuring Hanumankind (Sooraj Cherukat), Jasmine Sandlas, Sudhir Yaduvanshi, Shashwat Sachdev, Mohd. Sadiq, and Ranjit Kaur, creating an anthem that’s an ode to sheer energy.
This track is particularly special as it marks the Bollywood debut of rapper Hanumankind, and his performance has clearly resonated with audiences. Social media is abuzz with praise:
- One user exclaimed, “No one is talking about Hanumankind who dedicates this masterpiece beat and soundtrack.”
- Another fan declared, “Lyrics, editing, music, sound, song — everything is just WOW.”
- Comments like “HANUMANKIND The Lyrics are just 🔥” and “After this video Hanumankind viewers increase exponentially” highlight the rapper’s impact.
- Fans also celebrated his entry into Bollywood, with one noting, “Hanumankind hogai Bollywood meh entry.”
The video’s editing also received significant appreciation, with one viewer joking, “The EDITOR of this video needs a raise.” Another shared their long anticipation for the song, confessing, “गाना इतना बढ़िया था कि First Look ही देखकर काम चला रहे थे कई दिन से। Thanks for releasing the song. This is bloody addictive.” Many 90s kids felt a wave of nostalgia, with one reminiscing, “As a 90s kid (Grown old KID)… Pure Blizzzz hearing Punjabi MC Jogi, total HIGHHH… But Hanumankind just LITT that song on Fire.” Another fan simply summed it up, “Another masterpiece from Hanumankind… So energetic man.”
Composer Shashwat Sachdev shared insights into the song’s creation with Bollywood Hungama. He explained, “‘Na De Dil Pardesi Nu’ is a folk classic that carries deep emotion, which made reimagining it for Dhurandhar both an honour and a responsibility. The song was intrinsically linked to the film’s soul from the script’s inception, and I built its sound around that core idea. Ojas Gautam (Dhurandhar film DA) and I meticulously shaped its sonic energy until it became the heartbeat of the film’s world. A pivotal moment occurred one night in the studio when Aditya Dhar, Hanumankind, and I spontaneously created an impromptu rap that injected raw, instinctive fire into the track – the kind of magical moment you live for as a composer. This version truly bridges generations, resonating with those who grew up with the original while captivating a younger audience with its contemporary pulse.”
With accolades like “addictive,” “a masterpiece,” and “total fire” flooding in, the Dhurandhar title track is more than just a song; it’s a statement. The film’s hype has officially reached a fever pitch, and if this title track is any indication, the rest of the soundtrack promises to be equally unforgettable.
