Mumbai, March 29 – The 90s hit song, "Oye Oye", has found a new place in filmmaker Aditya Dhar's "Dhurandhar 2", and the original singer, Sapna Mukherjee, says the inclusion of the song is not just a nostalgic moment but a profound validation of her work.
Featuring Ranveer Singh in the lead role, the two-part spy action thriller uses classic Hindi songs, mainly from the 70s and 90s, in key scenes.
In the climax of "Dhurandhar: The Revenge", the song "Oye Oye...Ae Tirchi Topiwale" plays during the flashback, revealing the story of Jameel Jamali (Rakesh Bedi) and how he poisoned Bade Sahab. Shashwat Sachdev composed the music for "Dhurandhar".
This iconic song, originally from the 1989 action-thriller film "Tridev", features vocals by Mukherjee and Amit Kumar. It became a massive hit due to its energetic music and catchy beats. It was performed by actors Naseeruddin Shah and Sonam.
In an era where veteran singers are often replaced by contemporary voices in reimagined tracks, Mukherjee feels a deep sense of gratitude towards Dhar for preserving the "identity and dignity" of the original song.
"Aditya Dhar deserves full credit for bringing it back with respect and giving it a meaningful place in the film. Today, my voice was not replaced; it was respected, and that means everything to an artist," Mukherjee told
