Grammy Awards 2027—Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge Soundtrack Submitted in 9 Categories—Does It Stand a Chance?
Grammy 2027 and Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge are now part of the same conversation, and music fans are buzzing.
Shashwat Sachdev composed the music, and T-Series and B62 Studios submitted it to the 69th Annual Grammy Awards in nine categories. An ambitious push for a Bollywood project on the world’s biggest music stage.
However, this is not yet a Grammy nomination. The soundtrack and individual songs have been submitted for eligibility and consideration. The Recording Academy will decide nominations only after screening and first-round voting.
So does Dhurandhar: The Revenge, an Aditya Dhar’s film, really stand a chance of turning heads at the Grammys?
Here is what we know so far.
What Does a Grammy 2027 Submission Really Mean for Dhurandhar: The Revenge?
The development has drawn attention because the film’s music has been entered in multiple Grammy fields rather than a single category. But submission doesn’t guarantee a nomination. It simply means the music was submitted for review.
Composer Shashwat Sachdev’s work has been entered for Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media, while several songs from the album have made their way in individually. Recording Academy members first vote to shortlist entries, and only the top contenders reach the final ballot.
Ranveer Singh‘s Dhurandhar: The Revenge has nine submissions, showing serious ambition and a strong campaign behind the soundtrack. Winning on a global stage like the Grammys is a big dream for India, but it actually depends on several factors.
First comes
eligibility screening, where entries are checked for eligibility and placed in categories. Next, voting members decide the nominees in the first round. Then, in the final round, members vote for the winners, and the recording with the most votes in a category wins. So the music must win over the voters, not just the box office.
The 9 Grammy Categories for Dhurandhar: The Revenge
The reported submissions span soundtrack, global music, pop, dance, remix, and rap categories. Here are the key entries:
Track / Soundtrack | Grammy Category |
Dhurandhar: The Revenge full soundtrack | Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media |
Phir Se | Best Song Written for Visual Media |
Jaan Se Guzarte Hai | Best Global Music Performance |
Jaiye Sajana | Best Pop Duo/Group Performance |
Vaari Jaavan | Best Dance/Electronic Recording |
Hum Pyaar Karne Wale | Best Remixed Recording |
Destiny – Mann Atkeya | Best Rap Performance |
These entries show that the makers have positioned different songs for different Grammy categories, rather than relying solely on the full soundtrack submission.
Key Tracks in the Spotlight
Phir Se, featuring
Arijit Singh, is one of the most prominent submissions. Arijit’s voice carries longing and ache here. It is the kind of song that makes you feel a quiet heartbreak, with hope still flickering underneath. It has been entered in the Best Song Written for Visual Media category. This category recognizes films, television, stories, and other visual media.
Jaan Se Guzarte Hai has been submitted in the Best Global Music Performance category. The title alone suggests intensity, a love or loyalty so deep that it goes beyond life itself. Expect raw devotion with a touch of danger.
Jaiye Sajana has been entered in the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category. Its soulful, tender tone makes it bittersweet. Two powerful voices trade yearning and farewell, so it is romantic but tinged with sadness. This track gives the album representation beyond soundtrack-specific categories.
Kanhaiyya has also been submitted for Best Global Music Performance. Its entry gives the album a second opportunity in a category focused on global musical traditions and performances.
Aari Aari has been entered in the newly recognized Best Asian Pop Music Performance category. This adrenaline track brings swagger and pure party energy. This submission places the track in a field specifically centered on Asian pop music.
Will Dhurandhar: The Revenge Eyes a Historic Grammy 2027 Moment?
Until now, no Bollywood film has taken home a Grammy. The closest moment came in 2010, when Slumdog Millionaire, a British film set in India, won two Grammys for its music. One was Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media, and the other was Best Song Written for Visual Media for “
Jai Ho” (A.R. Rahman, Gulzar and Tanvi Shah).
Now everyone is waiting to see whether Dhurandhar: The Revenge can write a new chapter and become the first Hindi film to bring a Grammy home to India.
Well, honestly, it has a credible path, especially in categories that suit Indian and global music. But it’s premature to call it a frontrunner. The submissions are strategically spread across several fields.
This gives the soundtrack more than one possible route into the Grammy conversation.
But the nomination process entirely depends on eligibility, category fit, screening, and votes. Popularity and box-office performance may build awareness, but to win the Grammy 2027 moment, the formal protocols still apply.
Strengths Working in Its Favor
Dhurandhar: The Revenge arrives with serious momentum. The film became a huge blockbuster, earning a net collection of
₹1,149.30 crore across India. As for the songs, each has its own soul, so they already have massive reach.
Shashwat Sachdev’s soundtrack mixes Punjabi energy, qawwali soul, rap, and nostalgia with a fresh edge. A complete package of everything that voters mostly want. The full album has a dedicated entry in Best Compilation Soundtrack for Visual Media, an important advantage because it doesn’t depend on a single song.
Challenges Ahead
The road ahead is far from easy, and the main hurdle is competition. Grammy categories attract recordings from around the world. Recording Academy voters first narrow the field to a shortlist from a crowded global slate of releases.
Songs compete in very different categories, from rap to global music, splitting attention. Even after clearing that stage, a nomination requires enough first-round votes. Therefore, the appropriate expectation is cautious optimism, not a guaranteed nomination or win.
Nominations are expected only on
November 16, according to an event calendar listing the Recording Academy’s announcement.
Hope Over History
Every Indian heart is eagerly waiting for the Grammy 2027 nominations, hoping that at least one song from Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar: The Revenge makes the list and goes on to win. But even if it doesn’t, the love for the film won’t fade.
It will only grow stronger for the courage it showed in taking Indian music to the Grammy stage. History is never guaranteed, but the attempt itself already inspires hope.
