The title track of Ranveer Singh’s ‘Dhurandhar’ was featured during a performance at a NBA game recently.
The global phenomenon of ‘Dhurandhar’ continues to reach new heights, as the film's infectious music recently took centre stage at a National Basketball Association (NBA) game in the United States. The action-spy thriller, starring Ranveer Singh, has officially become a global sensation. Within just one month of its release, the film shattered records both in India and overseas, comfortably crossing the Rs 1000 crore milestone worldwide. A significant part of this success is attributed to the film's chart-topping soundtrack, composed by Sashwat Sachdev.
The film’s title track recently went viral after the Bhangra Empire dance group performed to it in San Francisco, California. Dressed in traditional Punjabi attire, the group delivered a high-energy routine ahead of the game between the Golden State Warriors and the Milwaukee Bucks. The official Instagram page of Bhangra Empire shared a video of the dance routine.
