ON TODAY'S SHOW
Sammy Chand's Tuesday show is day two of Dhurandhar Week — and today the focus shifts to the music itself. The hour opens with Aari Aari, a Shashwat Sachdev production stacking Bombay Rocker, Reble, Jasmine Sandlas, and Khan Saab — the kind of cross-generational, multi-language collaboration that defines the Dhurandhar sonic universe. From there the show threads through the new pulse: Jai Dhir's Moon, Sanju Rathod's chart-topping Marathi cut Bangles, Dhee's Tamil Vari Vari, Sahib Samra's 1 Day. Sammy plays five more Shashwat Sachdev productions across the hour — Aakhir Ishq with Jubin Nautiyal, Jaiye Sajana with Jasmine Sandlas and Satinder Sartaaj, Hum Pyar Karne Wale (a multi-generational reimagining featuring Queen Herby, Anuradha Paudwal, and Udit Narayan), Main Aur Tu with Jasmine Sandlas, and a fresh cut Destiny featuring Token, Vaibhav Gupta, and Shahzad. Plus Sammy's daily Indian cinema correspondent Anushka Arora stops in with a substantial conversation — perfectly placed during Dhurandhar Week when Indian film is everyone's beat. Neesh previews his show. Dr. Roy on Word On The Avenue. Doyeeta Das Gupta with the Artist Spotlight. The hour closes with Yashraj's Mujhe Ye Gaana Pasand Hai and Shubh's Bounce — both chart presences keeping the countdown momentum alive going into Wednesday.
