Good Morning, Dunki fans! As the much-anticipated film hits the screens, a melody is missing from the soundtrack that makes fans curious. Bollywood playback singer Shaan recently took to social media to clear the air and shed light on why his beautiful duet with Shreya Ghoshal, titled “Durr Kahi Durr,” failed to make it to the final cut. Let’s unravel the story behind the dropped notes.

Shaan’s Twitter comment

In a heartfelt post on the day of Dunki’s release, Shaan expressed his excitement about the film and addressed the absence of his song. The singer revealed that the song, recorded and picturised against the breathtaking backdrop of Kashmir, had to bid farewell to the final edit table. It turns out; that it was none other than the acclaimed filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani who made the call.

Despite the unfortunate events, Shaan commended Hirani for his transparency throughout the process. The singer acknowledged that while it was disappointing, the director prioritised the film’s overall narrative. It’s not every day that you see such openness in the entertainment world. Kudos to Hirani for being forthright about the tough decision.

Tagging Shreya Ghoshal in his post, Shaan affectionately referred to the duet as a “beautiful breezy” composition. The song, “Durr Kahi Durr,” encapsulates the essence of romance against the picturesque landscapes of Kashmir. Shaan shared that after much contemplation, Rajkumar Hirani made the tough call to drop the song. The director’s decision was, however, accompanied by transparency and communication, earning him Shaan’s appreciation.

Looking ahead, Shaan hinted at the possibility of the song resurfacing in one of Rajkumar Hirani’s future projects. While it may not find its place in Dunki, fans can hold on to the hope of experiencing the magic of “Durr Kahi Durr” in a different cinematic journey.

In conclusion, Dunki might have missed the musical charm of Shaan and Shreya Ghoshal’s duet, but the transparency and understanding displayed by Rajkumar Hirani in handling this situation are commendable. As fans, we can only appreciate the dedication to the overall vision of the film.
