Shankar Ehsaan Loy
Dhaakad (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Album · Bollywood · 2022
Bollywood’s famed composer trio Shankar Ehsaan Loy have constructed a many-hued soundtrack to complement Dhaakad, the frenetic action thriller starring Kangana Ranaut. Vasundhara Vee’s confident vocal performance on the title song—one whose intense chorus hearkens back to the late Chris Cornell’s 007 theme—oozes with attitude. “Babul” manipulates electronic beats over a traditional folk tune with enthralling results, while the heartfelt, rousing duet “Namonishan” is deliciously crafted with keening electric guitars and high-note crescendos.
