Veteran lyricist Sameer Anjaan has criticised filmmaker Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar franchise for its use of old songs in new sequences, arguing that this practice disregards the original creators. In an interview, Anjaan expressed concern over Bollywood's current approach to music and the treatment of lyricists. He admitted that remixes and recreations could expose older music to new audiences but objected to original writers being sidelined in the process.
Anjaan emphasized that original creators should be respected and their work valued, even when they are still alive to contribute. He specifically criticized the franchise for using old songs in violent action sequences, questioning the purpose and appropriateness of such placements. Anjaan also voiced disappointment with some Bollywood production houses, particularly those linked to Aditya Chopra and Karan Johar, lamenting the shift in their approach to music.
Despite the controversy surrounding the songs in Dhurandhar and its sequel, the franchise remains commercially successful, grossing over Rs 3,000 crore worldwide.
