Mumbai: Renowned vocalist Shahzad Ali is set to redefine musical intensity with the release of Ishq Jalakar, a powerful and emotionally charged track from filmmaker Aditya Dhar’s much-anticipated film DHURANDHAR. The song brings together a compelling blend of voices, including composer-singer Shashwat Sachdev and Shahzad Ali, but it is Shahzad’s commanding vocal presence that truly fuels the track, making him the unmistakable highlight of this release.
Known for seamlessly blending classical depth with contemporary emotion, Shahzad Ali delivers a performance that is both soulful and explosive. His voice lends the song its burning intensity, perfectly complementing the film’s raw and dramatic tone. With DHURANDHAR starring Ranveer Singh, the soundtrack demanded a voice capable of carrying cinematic weight and emotional gravity—an expectation Shahzad meets with striking ease.
Sharing his excitement about the song, Shahzad Ali said,
“This project came to me with an exciting and enthusiastic approach. Ishq Jalakar is a track you don’t just listen to—you feel it. It’s powerful, emotional, and rooted in an energy that stays with you.”
While Shahzad’s dynamic delivery takes center stage, the collaborative spirit of the track adds to its richness. Shashwat Sachdev’s intense composition shapes a gripping sonic landscape, resulting in a layered musical experience that resonates deeply with the soul of DHURANDHAR.
The song fully captures the bold “Dhurandhar vibe” envisioned by Aditya Dhar—raw, fearless and emotionally charged. With Ranveer Singh bringing unrestrained intensity to the visuals and Shahzad Ali powering the soundtrack with a voice that strikes like lightning, Ishq Jalakar emerges as an anthem destined to leave a lasting impact.
Reflecting further on the collaboration, Shahzad Ali added,
“‘Dhurandhar’ isn’t just a project for me—it’s a reminder of why I began making music in the first place. When a story burns with fire, you don’t just compose for it, you surrender to it. Collaborating with Ranveer Singh took that fire to another level. Ranveer doesn’t enter a song—he inhabits it. He brings a storm, a pulse, an unpredictability that pushes you to your highest frequency. This collaboration allowed me to stretch my voice, my craft and my spirit in ways I never imagined.”
As anticipation for DHURANDHAR continues to build, Shahzad Ali’s contribution stands out as a defining force behind the film’s musical identity. Ishq Jalakar not only highlights his vocal prowess but firmly establishes him as one of the most exciting and impactful voices in the contemporary music landscape.
