Dhurandhar 2 music not nominated yet

Being submitted for Grammy consideration means the music has been formally entered into the Recording Academy’s eligibility process. It does not mean the songs or the album have been nominated. The entries must first meet the Academy’s eligibility requirements and then go through its multi-round voting process, where Recording Academy members evaluate the submissions before the final nominations are announced.

Grammys’ new Asian Pop Music category

The most notable submission is ‘Aari Aari’ under Best Asian Pop Music Performance, one of five new categories being introduced at the 69th Grammys. The Recording Academy announced earlier this year that the 2027 ceremony would include five new categories in the Latin, Asian Pop and R&B genres, along with several updates to existing categories including Best New Artist and Best Album.

DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE for your GRAMMY®️ consideration. Thank you for all the love.

The Best Asian Pop Music Performance category is brand new, meaning there is no precedent for what kind of music the Academy voters will favour. The introduction of the category reflects the growing global commercial and cultural influence of Asian pop music, driven primarily by K-pop but increasingly encompassing J-pop, Southeast Asian pop and, potentially, Indian film music.

The Grammy campaign adds an international dimension to a franchise that has already made history. The two part franchise earned Rs 3,120 crore worldwide, as per trade tracker Sacnilk.

Shashwat Sachdev made 14 songs in 11 days

In an earlier social media post, director Aditya Dhar had said that Shashwat made 14 songs in 11 days fo Dhurandhar 2. “What he’s done on this film still doesn’t feel real when I say it out loud.
9 songs in 9 days for Dhurandhar Part 1, with the entire BGM done in 6 days. And then Dhurandhar Part 2, 14 songs in 11 days, BGM in 3,” he wrote.

He added, “At that speed, at that scale, with that kind of emotional depth and that kind of extraordinary quality, it’s beyond crazy.
And what makes it even more unreal is how both the albums, released within a span of 3 months, reached top global charts, with almost every song being loved and celebrated, something that’s an absolute rarity for any film in the world.”
