Aditya Dhar’s ‘Dhurandhar’, starring Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, tops box office while FA9LA by Flipperachi goes viral as anti-hero anthem. Khanna’s menacing Rehman Dakait struts in stylish black amid cheers and Khaleeji beats, blending irony and trend. Released Dec 5, 2025, its global soundtrack remix buzzes online. Aditya Dhar’s spy action-thriller, ‘Dhurandhar’, starring Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna, is not only a box office hit but has also triggered a surprising music trend. The Bahraini rap number FA9LA is rapidly becoming the viral soundtrack for Bollywood’s toughest anti-heroes. Recently, the filmmakers teased fans with a hint about what they called “THAT track from the movie… FLIPPERACHI!”.
Akshaye Khanna’s role boosts song popularity
Khanna’s powerful portrayal of the threatening Pakistani crime lord Rehman Dakait has played a major role in the song’s swift rise to popularity. In the intro clip, he appears in a sleek black outfit and sunglasses, confidently making his way through a barren, sandy landscape that resembles the regions of Karachi or Balochistan.
Dramatic entrance scene
At the start of the scene, Khanna makes a grand entrance, stepping out of his car to the excited cheers of a group of men, some of whom break into a vibrant traditional dance. He joins the celebration, exuding a mix of magnetic charm and subtle danger as he dances. The Khaleeji hip-hop beats of the song heighten the striking contrast between the gritty urban gangster and the rural setting, perfectly captured in the video’s visuals.
About the song and its impact
The song was made and sung by Gulf hip-hop artist Flipperachi in 2024. “Fa la” is a phrase in Bahraini Arabic that means “fun time” or “party,” which adds a fun but ironic touch to the villain’s dramatic entrance in the movie. Many people are comparing FA9LA to the song Jamal Kudu from the Bollywood film Animal, and it is getting a lot of attention online. The villain’s theme has a unique and strong sound with two unusual Hindi film tracks, making his character stand out right away. This is part of a new trend in Indian movies where world and local music styles are used to make important scenes even more exciting, and Flipperachi became popular very fast because of this.
‘Dhurandhar’: A spy thriller with a powerful soundtrack
‘Dhurandhar’ is an exciting spy thriller inspired by real RAW missions and world tensions. It stars big names like Ranveer Singh, Sanjay Dutt, R. Madhavan and Arjun Rampal. The song FA9LA has made Khanna’s role as Rehman Dakait even more memorable and praised. The movie came out on December 5, 2025, and tells a tough story of spying and betrayal. Its music, including a remix of ‘Monica O My Darling’ and songs by other artists, is getting a lot of attention.
