Sachdev believes this new version successfully bridges generations, resonating with those who grew up with the original while engaging a younger audience through its contemporary pulse.
With fans calling the track “addictive,” “a masterpiece,” and “total fire,” the Dhurandhar title track has become an undeniable statement. The hype around the film has officially reached a fever pitch, suggesting the entire soundtrack will be just as unforgettable.
