Dhurandhar: The Revenge Soundtrack Enters 2027 Grammy Race With Nine Entries

The chartbuster soundtrack of Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar: The Revenge has been submitted for consideration at the 2027 Grammy Awards across eight categories, with nine entries spanning the soundtrack album and individual songs. Production banner B62 Studios, founded by filmmaker Aditya Dhar and his brother Lokesh Dhar, announced the campaign seeking international recognition for music composed by Shashwat Sachdev.

The nine entries comprise the original soundtrack album and eight individual songs. The album has been submitted for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media, while Phir Se, sung by Arijit Singh, is being considered for Best Song Written for Visual Media.

The remaining entries are Aari Aari for Best Asian Pop Music Performance; Jaan Se Guzarte Hain and Kanhaiyya for Best Global Music Performance; Jaiye Sajana for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance; Destiny – Mann Atkeya for Best Rap Performance; Vaari Jaavan for Best Dance/Electronic Recording; and Hum Pyaar Karne Wale for Best Remixed Recording.

The distinction is that nine entries cover eight categories because two separate songs, Jaan Se Guzarte Hain and Kanhaiyya, have been submitted in the same Best Global Music Performance category. These are submissions for consideration, not confirmed Grammy nominations.

The soundtrack features contributions from singers including Arijit Singh, Jasmine Sandlas, Satinder Sartaaj, Jyoti Nooran, Jubin Nautiyal, Udit Narayan and Anuradha Paudwal. Sachdev composed the music, with Irshad Kamil among the lyricists. The album combines original compositions with reinterpretations of existing songs.

The Grammy nominations are scheduled to be announced on November 16, 2026, ahead of the 69th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony on February 7, 2027, in Los Angeles. The newly introduced Best Asian Pop Music Performance category provides another avenue for eligible Asian recordings to gain international recognition.

The campaign follows the franchise's commercial success. The first film, released in December 2025, earned more than Rs 1,300 crore worldwide, according to trade estimates. Its sequel, released in March 2026, reportedly collected over Rs 1,800 crore, taking the two films' combined worldwide earnings beyond Rs 3,000 crore.

India's Grammy legacy includes Ravi Shankar, A. R. Rahman, Zakir Hussain and Ricky Kej. At the 2026 awards, Amjad Ali Khan, Amaan Ali Bangash and Ayaan Ali Bangash contributed to the winning project Meditations: The Reflections of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Other Indian-linked nominees included Anoushka Shankar, Shakti, Siddhant Bhatia and Charu Suri.

The campaign now seeks to extend the franchise's domestic success into international music recognition, with the Academy's voting process determining whether any of the nine entries advance to the final nominations.
