The article reports that filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh defended Ranveer Singh's upcoming film *Dhurandhar* following criticism over its trailer's use of a classic qawwali originally performed by Madhubala in *Barsaat Ki Raat*. Some viewers accused the film of lacking originality because the trailer features the timeless qawwali "Na Toh Karvan Ki Talaash Hai," sparking a debate on social media about Bollywood reusing old songs. Sujoy Ghosh responded by clarifying that the film team never claimed the song as original and expressed appreciation for reintroducing such a classic piece to new audiences through the trailer. He praised the film overall and commended the choice to bring the iconic qawwali back into spotlight[2][3][6]. This defense came amid broader excitement and anticipation for *Dhurandhar*, a high-stakes spy thriller starring Ranveer Singh, directed by Aditya Dhar. The film is noted for its powerful cast and intense storyline, with Ranveer Singh playing an undercover operative on a secret mission in Pakistan. Despite the song controversy, the film has generated significant buzz for its action sequences and strong performances from actors including Arjun Rampal and Akshaye Khanna[1][10].
