Jasmine Sandlas shares how a key Dhurandhar 2 track was created at 4 am on the day of its launch, offering a glimpse into the making of the film's music.

In Short

• Jasmine Sandlas featured in five songs on Dhurandhar soundtrack
• Jaiye Sajana was composed on music album launch day
• Music praised for fitting spy thriller genre seamlessly

Singer Jasmine Sandlas has revealed that one of the standout tracks from Dhurandhar 2 was created in a last-minute burst of creativity, at 4 am on the very day of the album launch. The song, Jaiye Sajana, was written, recorded and finalised just hours before it was unveiled to the public on March 17.

The revelation has drawn attention to the intense pace behind the making of the film’s music, which has otherwise received widespread acclaim. Composed by Shashwat Sachdev for Aditya Dhar’s spy thriller, the soundtrack has been praised for fitting seamlessly into the film’s narrative. Sandlas features in five songs on the album, including Shararat and Main Aur Tu.

How did Jaiye Sajana come together overnight?

In a conversation with Humans of Bombay, Sandlas described the track’s unusual journey. She said she was in the studio with Sachdev in the early hours of the morning, working on the song on the same day it was set to launch.

“We were recording and writing the song the day that the music album launched. The day we performed it was the day it was recorded,” she said, adding that parts of the composition had been prepared months earlier but were only finalised at the last moment.

Why is the song gaining traction?

Sandlas noted that Jaiye Sajana explores themes of loneliness and betrayal, which appear to have struck a chord with listeners. She said the team did not anticipate the scale of the response the track would receive.

She also highlighted Satinder Sartaaj’s contribution, stating that his rendition of the hook has been particularly appreciated by audiences.

What is Dhurandhar 2 about?

Dhurandhar 2 follows an Indian spy navigating Karachi’s criminal and political underworld, weaving in real-life events such as the IC-814 hijacking, the Indian Parliament attack, and the Mumbai attacks.

The sequel charts the transformation of Ranveer Singh’s character into Hamza Ali Mazari, as he works to dismantle a terror network. The film also stars Arjun Rampal, R Madhavan, and Sanjay Dutt in key roles.
