It’s been a few years now that Bollywood’s music universe is dominated by dance remixes, club tracks and high-energy promotional numbers. Somewhere along the way, the simple celebration song, the kind that spills out of neighbourhood loudspeakers, family functions and festive gatherings, began disappearing from mainstream cinema.
Welcome To The Jungle’s latest track, Deewane Hain, attempts to bring that flavour back.
Mounted on the scale of the comedy entertainer’s sprawling ensemble cast, the song embraces the spirit of collective celebration, featuring the entire ensemble in a fresh look. The visuals are packed with colour and a sense of bonhomie, echo the old-school Bollywood songs that were less about choreography and more about people joining in and having a good time!
Composer, lyricist and singer Anand Raj Anand, who has built a career creating crowd-pleasing hits, says the idea was to make a song that people could instantly connect with. “When I started working on Deewane Hain, I wasn’t thinking about trends. I wanted to create something that feels familiar the moment you hear it. This is the kind of song that people can sing together at celebrations, weddings or festivals. We have grown up with songs that brought people together, and I wanted to capture that emotion again,” he tells us.
More from EntertainmentThe track has been sung by Anand Raj Anand and Amruta Fadnavis, with music production by Vikram Nagi and arrangements by Prakash Peters. The song’s rich soundscape comes from a blend of live instruments and percussion-heavy arrangements with folk Kashmiri tune add to the magic of this celebratory track.
For Amruta Fadnavis, the song’s appeal lies in its simplicity. “What I loved most about Deewane Hain is that it has a very happy, inclusive energy. It makes you want to smile, sing along and be part of the celebration. That’s something we don’t get to hear very often anymore,” she says.
The song comes closer to the climax in Welcome To The Jungle. While much of the film’s promotional campaign has centred on nostalgia and the return of large-scale comedy entertainers, Deewane Hain is an extension of that philosophy. Rather than chasing fleeting social media trends, the track taps into something familiar which is the sound of people coming together.
The film releases in cinemas worldwide on 26th June 2026.
