- Aditya Dhar believed in composer Shashwat Sachdev before he had any released music
- Shashwat Sachdev composed 11 tracks for Dhurandhar, blending modern beats with classics
- Dhurandhar 2 received widespread praise for its scale, intensity, performances, and music
Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar has been in the news for all the right reasons since last year. Now with Dhurandhar: The Revenge in theatres, the excitement refuses to dial down. One of the many things that has received rave reviews about the film is its solid background score and album. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev has now opened up about how Aditya Dhar believed in him long before there was any music album to his credit.
What's Happening
- In a conversation with Filmfare, Shashwat Sachdev said, "I met Aditya Dhar in 2016. Right around the time I met Rhea Kapoor, I met him because he was making a film called Raat Baki, which eventually became Dhoom Dhaam. And I had not done anything then. There was zero released music under my name. He still believed in me. He still loved me for who I was. And he was so sure about me and my work, as unsure and as unclear as I am today about myself."
- He continued, "He wanted me to score Uri, and I didn't want to. He really believed in me. He is also a very important and special kind of landmark for me in Mumbai."
Shashwat Sachdev's Dhurandhar 2 Compositions

Other artists such as Hanumankind and Jasmine Sandlas also received notable recognition for their powerful music score.

Another user commented on Aditya Dhar's direction, saying, "This is an Aditya Dhar movie. The way he crafted Ranveer, Arjun, Madhavan, Akshay, Sanjay, Sara, Rakesh ji, Saumya, Gaurav and Danish-storyline, performances, presentation and music-it's the idea that makes this story simple."
Ranveer Singh's performance, in particular, has triggered an outpouring of admiration online. One user praising the actor wrote, "'Give him the Oscar already'-not something you hear often for a performance in Indian cinema, but that's exactly the kind of noise #RanveerSingh is generating with #DhurandharTheRevenge.
