The Dhurandhar franchise has done more than just shatter box office records; it has breathed new life into iconic melodies. With the massive success of Dhurandhar 2, the legendary track Aari Aari by Bombay Rockers has found a second wind, captivating a whole new generation of listeners. For the duo behind the hit—Navtej Singh Rehal (Naf) and Thomas Sardorf—the film’s impact has been nothing short of a career renaissance. Speaking at the recent Denmark Day celebrations in New Delhi, Navtej admitted that he had long believed the Bombay Rockers era had reached its natural conclusion, only for the film to prove him wrong.
Reflecting on the unexpected resurgence, Navtej shared that the overwhelming response to the film made him realize that the band still has plenty of fuel left in the tank. The success has provided the perfect catalyst for his return to the studio, and he confirmed that fans can look forward to fresh music dropping in the very near future. It is a comeback that the singer describes as a blessing, marking a vibrant new chapter after a long hiatus from the music scene.
Meanwhile, the man at the center of the franchise, Ranveer Singh, recently opened up about the emotional weight behind the project in the documentary Parvah Hai Toh Parivar Hai. Acknowledging the Ambani family for their unwavering faith during a challenging phase in his career, Ranveer noted that mounting the Dhurandhar films was an immense logistical and creative hurdle. His gratitude is well-founded, as the duology has officially made history, crossing the Rs 3000 crore mark in worldwide gross—a feat never before achieved by an Indian film series. Produced by Jyoti Deshpande, Aditya Dhar, and Lokesh Dhar, the franchise remains a landmark achievement for Jio Studios and B62 Studios.
