Mumbai (Maharashtra): The wait for the title track of Ranveer Singh’s much-anticipated action thriller Dhurandhar is finally over. The newly released song, Jogi, captures the film’s intense and gritty essence while offering a unique musical blend that bridges traditional Punjabi rhythms with contemporary hip-hop energy.
A powerful musical fusion
Originally titled Na De Dil Pardesi Nu (Jogi), the track brings together a powerhouse team of artists — Hanumankind, Jasmine Sandlas, Sudhir Yaduvanshi, Shashwat Sachdev, Mohd. Sadiq and Ranjit Kaur. The song marks the Bollywood debut of rapper-singer Hanumankind, who has already made a name for himself in the Indian independent music scene with his bold lyrics and dynamic flow.
The lyrics, penned by Babu Singh Maan, Hanumankind and Jasmine Sandlas, seamlessly merge the rustic depth of Punjabi verses with sharp, modern rap segments. This cross-genre experiment aligns perfectly with Dhurandhar’s raw, adrenaline-filled tone.
The song’s music has been jointly composed by Shashwat Sachdev — known for his work in Uri: The Surgical Strike — and veteran composer Charanjit Ahuja, giving it a multi-layered soundscape that fuses contemporary beats with traditional instruments.
Visuals that mirror intensity
The lyrical video of Jogi, released by Saregama Official on Instagram, provides a glimpse into the film’s high-octane narrative. It showcases Ranveer Singh in commanding form, backed by equally fierce performances from Akshaye Khanna, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt and R Madhavan.
The video highlights intense action sequences and showcases Ranveer Singh’s signature energy in stylised combat scenes. It also features Akshaye Khanna and Arjun Rampal in sequences of cold-blooded aggression, reflecting the dark, revenge-driven tone of the movie.
Each frame of the video maintains a cinematic flair, blending symbolic visuals with rhythmic precision. The production quality, marked by bold lighting and fast-paced editing, further amplifies the impact of the track.
Hanumankind’s Bollywood debut
For Hanumankind, Jogi represents more than just another collaboration — it’s a gateway into mainstream Hindi cinema. Known for his distinctive voice and lyrical craftsmanship in songs like Big Dawgs and Go to Sleep, the artist brings a raw authenticity to the Bollywood space.
His verses in Jogi add a modern edge to the song, contrasting seamlessly with Jasmine Sandlas’s powerful vocals and the soulful Punjabi renditions by Sudhir Yaduvanshi, Mohd. Sadiq and Ranjit Kaur.
The collaboration between such diverse artists has created a sonic experience that appeals to both urban audiences and fans of traditional Punjabi music.
‘Dhurandhar’: a promising cinematic spectacle
Directed by Aditya Dhar, who previously helmed the critically acclaimed Uri: The Surgical Strike, Dhurandhar promises to be a gripping action drama set against a backdrop of power, betrayal and revenge. The film features an ensemble cast of some of Bollywood’s most seasoned actors — Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt and R Madhavan — making it one of the most anticipated releases of 2025.
As per the film’s first look video, Dhurandhar is expected to be packed with intense action and confrontations between its lead characters. The dark, violent undertones suggested in the visuals indicate that the movie will explore themes of dominance and justice, while Ranveer Singh’s character is projected as the central force driving the narrative.
Anticipation builds among fans
Following the release of Jogi, social media has been abuzz with excitement. Fans have praised the unique sound design, the visual aesthetics of the lyrical video, and the collaboration between old-school Punjabi legends and new-age artists.
The song has also garnered attention for its sharp production and cinematic appeal, setting high expectations for both the film and its complete soundtrack.
