Following a massive commercial run in movie theaters, Aditya Dhar's action feature Dhurandhar The Revenge is aiming to make its mark on the international music stage. The original film Dhurandhar set strong benchmarks upon its theatrical arrival last year, and its direct continuation, Dhurandhar 2, maintained the commercial momentum when it debuted in March this year. Now, the high-energy soundtrack powering the film has been formally submitted for consideration at the prestigious Grammy Awards.
Official Announcement by T-Series and B62 Studios
The production banner B62 Studios, along with music label T-Series, revealed the milestone through an official post shared on social platform X. On October 9, 2026, the team announced that the musical project helmed by composer Shashwat Sachdev has been pitched for Grammy consideration. Specifically, the album is contending in the Best Compilation Soundtrack category, reflecting the collaborative efforts behind the cinematic score and vocal tracks. The production outfit also thanked fans for their ongoing appreciation.
Multiple Category Submissions for Standout Tracks
Rather than relying solely on a comprehensive soundtrack submission, several individual songs from the movie are competing in targeted individual categories. Compositions tailored for screen storytelling, including Phir Se, Jaan Se Guzarta Hai, and Kanhaiya, have been submitted in the visual media tracks and performance brackets. Additionally, the energetic number Aari Aari is vying for recognition under the Best Asian Pop Performance banner. The film features an ensemble cast comprising Ranveer Singh, Arjun Rampal, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Sara Arjun, with production backing from Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhar alongside Jio Studios.
The Distinction Between Submission and Final Nomination
Entering the 'For Your Consideration' pool marks an initial procedural step rather than an assured nomination spot. Before any submitted recording can earn an official place on the final Grammy nominations roster, it must clear strict eligibility screening overseen by the Recording Academy. Once the material meets all technical and timing requirements, voting members of the Academy evaluate the works and cast their ballots. Only the entries securing sufficient member votes across these rounds advance to the final nomination lineup.
Commercial Track Record Across Both Installments
The franchise established its box office credentials early on. The inaugural Dhurandhar earned widespread theatrical acclaim under Aditya Dhar's direction last year, producing record-setting revenues at commercial ticket counters. Building directly on that viewer enthusiasm, Dhurandhar The Revenge opened in March this year and delivered another round of robust theatrical returns. Beyond high-stakes action and narrative scope, the musical compositions played a substantial role in cementing the project's mass appeal.
