The makers of the eagerly awaited Raid 2 have launched their new song, Tumhe Dillagi—a soulful recreation of the iconic classic by the legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. Reimagined by composer Rochak Kohli and brought to life through Jubin Nautiyal’s evocative vocals, the song features poignant lyrics by Manoj Muntashir and Purnam Allahabadi, capturing a deep emotional undercurrent that mirrors the film’s themes of trust, longing, and hidden truths.
Set against the backdrop of a vibrant festive celebration, the song offers a tender interlude in the film—highlighting the growing connection between Ajay Devgn and Vaani Kapoor. While the moment feels warm and intimate, it subtly hints at the inner turmoil faced by Ajay’s character, as a storm brews silently in another part of his world.
“Tumhe Dillagi has always been one of those timeless songs that stayed with me,” As I child , then as a boy and now as a man I am still enjoying this timeless magic of Nusrat Saab says Jubin Nautiyal. “There’s a deep sense of yearning in this version that I tried to carry through every note. It speaks to the silences between two people, the emotions that linger unspoken. Recreating a song I’ve long loved was both a privilege and a challenge—to hold on to its soul while bringing my own voice to it.”
“Reimagining a classic like Tumhe Dillagi came with a sense of responsibility,” adds composer Rochak Kohli. “The original holds such emotional weight, and my aim was to honour that while giving it a texture that fits into the 80s/ 90s world of Raid 2. It’s about blending nostalgia with a cinematic context that feels fresh, yet deeply rooted in feeling.”
