Pathaan is the soundtrack album, composed by Vishal-Shekhar, Sanchit Balhara and Ankit Balhara to the 2023 Hindi film of the same name, directed by Siddharth Anand that casts Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in lead roles. The film was produced by Aditya Chopra under his banner Yash Raj Films.
The duo Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani have composed two songs "Besharam Rang" and "Jhoome Jo Pathaan" with lyrics by Kumaar whereas the original film score was composed by Sanchit Balhara and Ankit Balhara. The songs "Pathaan's Theme" and "Jim's Theme" are instrumentals recorded originally for the background score that were released with the soundtrack album on 9 January 2023. Close to the release of the film, two promotional singles: "Pathaan - Trailer" and Arabic version of the song "Jhoome Jo Pathaan" were released.
The songs "Besharam Rang" and "Jhoome Jo Pathaan" were composed with an old-school approach in a modern musical arrangement. The former track has Spanish verses and marks the celebration of the character played by Padukone in a 'good, bad and flawless' manner, whereas the latter song comprises bassline and dholak-rhythm patterned groove, signifying a 'victory' song in the film.
Upon release, the album received positive reviews by audience and critics. "Besharam Rang" was the only Bollywood song of 2022 to garner more than 100 million views YouTube India in a short span of time.
"The song is a modern fusion of Qawaali and is a celebration of Pathaan's style and panache. It has been a while since we have seen SRK groove to the music and we are hoping that people will love seeing their favourite superstar shake a leg with an attitude to kill for."
The songs "Besharam Rang" and "Jhoome Jo Pathaan" were conceptualized in the atrium of a building over coffees and casual chats, later, directly recorded in studio.[2] They were recorded during phase one and two of the COVID-19 lockdown in India.[3] Both the songs were attributed to the 'old school' way of compositions.[2]
In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, the Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani stated that "Besharam Rang" was recorded first.[2] The song was composed with dummy lyrics and Shilpa Rao recorded the patch.[2][4] Lyricist Kumaar worked on the lyricsm, in receipt of her vocals. Dadlani called it an unusual way of working whereas Ravjiani clarified that the song had a different chorus and the hook line written was how the song shaped up.[2] Original structure of composition was: full chorus - intro - cross line - hook line.[2] There was a separate intro written which later landed into the lines "Humein To Loot Liya Milke..."[2] On the music arrangement of "Besharam Rang", the duo mentioned that Warren Mendonsa recorded the guitar riffs in New Zealand. In the event of "Besharam Rang" drawn music comparisons[5] with the song "Ghungroo", they clarified that Besharam Rang was a "sensual feminine track" and they did not work 'closed room' on the track.[2] On coining the title "Besharam Rang", the duo gave credited the lyricist who took the brief of the song and translated it.[6] The brief of the lyrics were about 'a girl who by her sheer lack of innovation was incredibly attractive'.[2] Kumaar did not write the tracks but let his ideas be written by the Dadlani and Ravjiani.[2][7]
For the creative process of "Jhoome Jo Pathaan", Ravjiani sang a line, "Hum Jaise Jigar Waale Kahaan? Aha!" (Translates to "Where are the hearty ones like us?") a qawwali hook-line, requested by Anand prior composing the track.[3] Emphasizing more on the expression "Aha!" that stood as a repetition. Dadlani and Ravjiani continued jamming with these, fitting the verses by Kumaar.[3] Hence, one can hear the lyrics "Baat Karte Hai Hazaaron, Hazaaron" (sung by Sukriti Kakar) the last word of the line, rhyming or repeating.[3] Anand was present during the musical arrangement of the song. Ravjiani was quoted saying, it is like a modern qawwali kind of zone where there are repeat of lines".[8] To avoid generic vocal tone, Dadlani did not record the track rather chose Arijit Singh.[3] The track's musical drop was hardly melody, the groove was composed as the drop with bassline and dholak pattern.[3] The bounce of the groove was recorded as a dance number. Meghdeep Bose played the Arabic, acoustic and electric guitars on the track.[3]
In an interview with B.H. Harsh from Film Companion, Jim's Theme (track 4) was recorded with an 'uncomfortable' percussion sound and reversed for creating an 'untangling effect'. For Pathaan's Theme (track 3), Ankit Balhara created the sound scheme to evoke patriotism as well as a 'heroic flair'. They kept the female vocals (recorded locally) limited, to bring an effect of 'swag' with Khan's introductory scene in the film. Cassandra Cavalli provides the vocals for the theatrical version of Pathaan's Theme. Sanchit Balhara said they drew inspiration from John William's original score for Jurassic Park, apart from the scores by James Horner and Thomas Newman. They retained the elements of Indian classical music while fusing and designing the score for Pathaan.[9]
As per Box Office India - Worldwide report of December 2022, within weeks of release, both the tracks trended number one and two on YouTube.[22] The music of the film increased the expectations of the audience and controversies resulted increased number of reservations made in advance that Pathaan lodged.[23] As per Mid-Day, Indian music critics opined that the songs could not have become even moderately popular if released only as audio tracks. The songs, with their visuals, did wonders, acknowledging film's music more on choreography than the melody.[24]
Upon its release, "Jhoome Jo Pathaan" video on YouTube crossed 5.1 million views and 738K in four hours of release.[34] Also, the song received 1 million views in less than 30 minutes after it was released.[35] The song has received more than 18 million views in the 20 hours after its release.[35] Multiple Indian newspapers[36][37] and Business Today reported audience to be dancing to the tunes of "Jhoome Jo Pathaan" in front of the theatre screens.[38][39] When Vishal-Shekhar composed "Jhoome Jo Pathaan", they were confident that the audience would dance to the tunes, especially, reports of audience dancing close to the theatres of the screen.[40] Yashraj Mukhate recreated "Jhoome Jo Pathaan" song fusing the word "Zinda Hai", a dialogue delivered by Khan.[41]
The songs "Besharam Rang" and "Jhoome Jo Pathaan" were released as singles in Tamil and Telugu apart from its original Hindi version.[42] The theme tracks have gibberish, sparing English vocals and instrumental interludes released with the soundtrack album. "Pathaan - Trailer" with vocals by Shah Rukh Khan and an Arabic version of the song "Jhoome Jo Pathaan" were released as promotional singles.[43]
Most of all, SRK is looking better!!! I swear the last song was a wig, his hairline was all wrong and weird. But this, I am almost positive is real hair. His hairline is as it should be and over all I feel like I can see more of his face.
Did Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani (Sheykhar) copy or got inspired by 2012 composition from UTV Films' Arjun: The Warrior Prince's song titled Karam Ki Talvaar? People are convinced that Pathaan song Jhoome Jo Pathaan which is making the entire world dance along with Shah Rukh Khan in theatres has been copied.
Director Siddharth Anand said, "Just like every filmmaker, I also had a wish list to once work with Shah Rukh Khan. I think you have to earn a Shah Rukh Khan film, I think it was my journey which I completed and that is when I got a gift to direct Shah Rukh Khan. Pathaan aayi hai, hit hui hai. Uske baad kya banayege (Pathaan has been released, and it has been a hit. What will we make after that?".
To this, SRK added, "This is a big day for us, my family. We haven't experienced this happiness in a while. Whenever he (Siddharth Anand) wants me to do Pathaan 2, I'll do it. If they want to make a sequel, it'll be my honour to do it."

Shah Rukh Khan launched the second song from his film Pathaan on Thursday. Titled Jhoome Jo Pathaan, the song failed to impress movie lovers with many criticising its lacklustre music and lyrics to even Shah Rukh showing off his abs at 57. (Also read: Twitter isn't impressed with Jhoome Jo Pathaan)
Now, the choreographer behind the song has reacted to the online reaction to the song. Bosco Martis, who previously worked with Shah Rukh in Swades, said that the criticism and trolling do not matter to him as long as fans were entertained.
The misinterpretation has caused for a call for banning the song. If the reports are to be believed, the makers have also decided to delete the song from the film. Many have burnt effigies of Deepika and Shah Rukh in North India and requested to reshoot the end with different clothes.
Though this is not the first time that India is engulfed in colour controversy, it has gone to unprecedented lengths. Some have called it a political agenda and way of diverting attention from more serious issues.
There have also been some highly shocking calls for violence against theatres that screen the movie, although thankfully these have been in the minority so far. On the flip side, there have been numerous people who have come out in support of the movie Pathan, Deepika Padukone, and the song by calling the controversy frivolous and unnecessary.
