Saif Ali Khan and Dimple Kapadia starrer Tandav made it to the content repertoire of Amazon Prime Video. The musical score of the Ali Abbas Zafar's digital series has been composed by Oscar, BAFTA, and Grammy Award-winning music composer, AR Rahman. One of the many songs that have been authored by AR Rahman and is a part of Tandav is Dhakka Laga Bukka, the musical number which debuted with the Mani Ratnam-starrer Yuva back in 2004. The musical outing has been remastered and adapted to the situations that a viewer will see unfolding in the Amazon Original series.
What made AR Rahman add Dhakka Laga Bukka in Tandav:
On the subject of the inclusion of Dhakka Laga Bukka in Tandav, a blog post on BookMyShow quoted Rahman saying that the Amazon Original series evokes similar kinds of emotions from the viewers as Yuva. It is due to that parallel between the two shows which convinced Rahman to include this song from the 2004 feature. Other songs that are a part of the Tandav Original Sound Track are yet to be made available to the listeners. A Tandav promo that features the revamped version of the iconic youth anthem can be found below as well as on Amazon Prime Video's YouTube channel.
