Dhurandhar Sequel Teaser Sparks Buzz with Doja Cat Track and Action Montage
The much-anticipated Bollywood sequel Dhurandhar: The Revenge has finally unveiled its first teaser, promising to be bigger and better than its blockbuster predecessor. Starring Ranveer Singh, the teaser immediately grabbed attention, though it generated mixed reactions from fans and critics alike.
Doja Cat's Song Featured in Teaser Background
One of the most notable elements of the teaser is the use of a track by Grammy-winning artist Doja Cat. The song, titled AAAHH MEN!, serves as the background music for the action-packed montage. Makers have officially confirmed this inclusion, with the YouTube description clearly crediting the track.
The description reads: "AAAHH MEN! by Doja Cat Copyright in the Literary and Musical Works - Universal Music Publishing Private Limited on behalf of Universal Music Corp. / Isimo Compositions / USI B Music Publishing. Co-written by Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini and published by Turnkey Music & Publishing Pvt. Ltd. on behalf of Kobalt Music. Music and Sync Licensing: Girish 'Bobby' Talwar."
Teaser Content and Fan Reactions
The teaser primarily features a montage of action sequences from the first Dhurandhar film, with Ranveer Singh portrayed as Hamza, including flashbacks to his younger self played by Jaskirat Singh Rangi. While some viewers expressed disappointment at the reuse of old scenes, many others praised the energetic vibe brought by Doja Cat's song.
This contrasts with the first film's teaser, which used the track Na De Dil Pardesi Nu (Jogi) by Hanumankind and Jasmine Sandlas, a remake of a classic Punjabi song from 1995.
Recap of Dhurandhar's Success and Storyline
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar is a spy thriller that released on December 5 and became a massive box office hit, grossing over ₹1300 crore worldwide. It stands as one of Bollywood's highest-grossing films of all time.
