Arijit Singh just took to Instagram to share the news, and the caption was simple: "#PhirSe from DHURANDHAR THE REVENGE for your GRAMMY consideration." But let's clear up the confusion immediately. This isn't a nomination. It's a consideration. The Recording Academy has to process eligibility and votes before the actual shortlist drops. Still, getting in that door is a massive deal for a Hindi film track.
The campaign behind this push is led by T-Series and B62 Studios, and they aren't just betting on one song. The slate includes other hits like 'Aari Aari', 'Jaan Se Guzarte Hain', and 'Kanhaiyya'. Shashwat Sachdev composed the score, with lyrics from Irshad Kamil and Kumaar. 'Phir Se' specifically hits hard because it plays over the emotional climax where Jaskirat Singh Rangi heads home after his mission in Pakistan. It's the kind of track that lingers long after the credits roll.
Context matters here. Dhurandhar: The Revenge, directed by Aditya Dhar, became the biggest Indian franchise ever, minting more than ₹3,000 crore at the domestic box office. The first part hit theaters in December 2025, and this second instalment followed in March. With a star-studded cast including Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, and Madhavan, the film's cultural footprint was already global. Now, the music is trying to catch up on that international stage.
If 'Phir Se' survives the voting process and makes the actual nomination list, it would be a historic moment for Indian cinema. For now, the industry is pinning its hopes on this probable win, signaling a shift in how global platforms like the Grammys view Bollywood soundtracks. The ball is now in the Recording Academy's court.
