The box office was just the beginning. Aditya Dhar's spy-universe thriller, Dhurandhar, has now conquered the global music streaming landscape, marking a watershed moment for Bollywood music on the international stage.As of today, all 11 tracks from the film's soundtrack are trending on the coveted Spotify Global Top 200 list a dominance previously unseen for an Indian film album. While individual Indian songs have frequently made waves globally, Dhurandhar's achievement distinguishes itself through the unprecedented consumption of the entire album as a cohesive body of work. In a stunning display of dominance, all 11 songs from the soundtrack are currently charting simultaneously, driving the album to a massive debut at 2 on Spotify's Global Top Albums chart and breaking into the American market at 5 on the US Top Albums chart. The list is led by the high-octane Title Track, which is currently sitting at 3, followed closely by the soulful numbers Ishq Jalakar and Karvaan at 5, while Gehra Hua holds a strong position at 7. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) The architect of this sonic revolution is National Award winning composer Shashwat Sachdev.Known for his work on Uri: The Surgical Strike, Sachdev has crafted a diverse soundscape for Dhurandhar that blends cinematic scores, contemporary hip-hop, and emotional ballads. Reacting to the historic news, a humbled Sachdev stated: I never imagined this album as a chase for numbers. Dhurandhar was made slowly, with trust, friendship, and a lot of love for the music itself. To see all eleven tracks finding a place on the charts... is deeply humbling. This belongs to every artist, musician, and engineer who gave a piece of their soul to these songs. This milestone signals a shift in how global audiences are consuming Indian cinema. It is no longer just about a viral item song or a hook step; international listeners are engaging with the full narrative depth of a Bollywood soundtrack. The album features a mix of powerhouse vocalists and experimental genres, including a much talked about collaboration with Hanumankind and Diljit Dosanjh, and a Bahraini infused track, FA9LA, which has bridged the gap between Gulf hip hop and mainstream Bollywood. With the film nearing the ₹500 Crore mark at the box office and the music ruling the global charts, Dhurandhar has officially become a cultural phenomenon. For Bollywood, the sound of victory has never been louder.
