After making the whole nation groove to their foot-tapping dance number ‘Pallo Latke’ from the movie Shaadi Mein Zaroor Aana (2017) and walking home with all top music honours for the same, the music trio of Raees and Zain - Sam has recorded two amazing songs for Sanah Kapoor’s upcoming film, Saroj Ka Rishta.
The first song has been crooned by vivacious Neeti Mohan, who has a number of chartbuster songs to her credit. It will be a solo dance number to be picturized on female lead Sanah Kapoor. While the song has been composed by the compositional powerhouse Raees & Zain - Sam, lyrics have been provided by noted Urdu poet, Liaqat Jafri.
The second song has been recorded in the powerful voice of Mika Singh alongside Sukriti Kakkar. It’s a duet which, according to composers, instantly grabs your attention and makes you hit the dance floor right away. Lyrics for this catchy dance number have been penned down by Sonu Saggu, who has previously written ‘Ik Vari Aa Toh Sahi’ for Varun Dhawan’s 2017 blockbuster Judwaa 2.
Talking about the song and the hard work that has gone into creating it, composer Zain Khan says, “We have worked too hard on this particular song and its soundtrack, which has Mika Singh & Sukriti Kakkar. Just to make this song sound global without tampering the essence of the film, we literally worked through many nights, till 4-5 am. We used to wake up early mornings in studios. We didn’t see home for quite a few days. This pressure was not because of the director or producers; we worked assiduously because this is the biggest song getting shot in the film, with a huge crowd of dancers. Shabina Khan, the choreographer, is going to kill it with her amazing steps and with those huge sets.”
Both songs will be choreographed by Shabina Khan, who has previously choreographed a series of hit songs for superstar Salman Khan, including ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ and ‘Sajan Radio’.
Besides Sanah Kapoor, Saroj Ka Rishta also stars Kumud Mishra, Gaurav Pandey and Randeep Rai. Directed by Phullu (2017) fame Abhishek Saxena, the rom-com is produced by Anmol Kapoor, Nazia Javed Siddiqui, Narinder Garg and Ambika Sharma.
Ranveer Singh’s rugged new look anchors the high-energy music video.
Rapper Hanumankind makes his official Bollywood début with a fierce verse.
Modern take on the classic Punjabi folk tune 'Jogi'.
Glimpses of Sanjay Dutt and Arjun Rampal in the mix.
The full trailer lands next month.
The Dhurandhar title track just hit the internet, and the noise around this spy thriller just went up a few notches. This is the track that pulls rapper Hanumankind into his first proper Bollywood playback moment. They have taken the old folk number 'Jogi' and built a power-packed version around it, a mix of earthy roots and straight-up aggressive energy that hits like a truck. It fits, honestly. It mirrors the film's whole gritty vibe and Ranveer Singh's battle-hardened look with that wild beard.

What is the Dhurandhar title track about?
You get a proper blast of the film’s atmosphere from this track. The music video cuts fast between shots of a heavily bearded and muscular Ranveer Singh, looking every bit the part of a hardened operative. The video cuts to the other big names in the cast as well. Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal are all there in what appears to be a tense, dark situation. The music includes traditional Punjabi folk with a stronger, cinematic rhythm.
How did Hanumankind get involved in the Dhurandhar song?
It turns out his involvement was a pretty organic, almost spontaneous thing. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev opened up about how the rap section came together. Apparently, it happened during a late-night studio session with director Aditya Dhar and Hanumankind himself. They captured an impromptu performance that just clicked, bringing what Sachdev called a "raw, instinctive fire" to the whole track. For an artist known for his independent work, this Dhurandhar feature is a major step into the mainstream film scene.
All this build-up is heading towards a definite date. The makers confirmed it right at the end of the title track video. Dhurandhar is locked in for a worldwide theatrical release on 5 December of this year. For those who need more than a song to tide them over, the official trailer is promised for 12 November.
