Essential Albums
- There are a couple of things that distinguish music director Shashwat Sachdev’s soundtrack for Dhurandhar from the standard Hindi film OST. There’s the astute use of English-language Indian rappers Hanumankind and Reble to fire up the anthemic numbers. Plus, it takes classic Bollywood and Punjabi folk tunes and does more than just slap on electronic beats and new verses to ‘recreate’ them. Sachdev digs into record label Saregama’s vast catalogue to sample songs from the 1960s through to the ’90s into bilingual electro and hip-hop bangers that are as stylish as the film’s slick action sequences.
- The rolling thunder of “Challa” kicks off Shashwat Sachdev’s hard-hitting soundtrack to Aditya Dhar’s military blockbuster, its clashing of vocal harmonies and scorching dubstep echoing the feel of India’s retaliation to a devastating militant attack. The simmering “Jagga Jiteya” brings big bass drops as Dee MC spits fire over Daler Mehndi’s searing vocals. These contrast with acoustic moments both bittersweet (“Behe Chala”) and brimming with defiance (“Manzar Hai Yeh Naya”). Ultimately, both sides unite on the closing “Jigra”, with space to breathe between moments of gunshot percussion.
