Theme Song
The song is titled De Ghuma Ke which in itself is a passionate expression that creatively captures the fierce sense of competition and the desire to win. The song, according to the composers, avoids both the cliches of patriotism and run-of-the-mill Bollywood beats for a “fun and funky tune” with a “folksy feel and a hint of rustic Punjabi”. De Ghuma Ke is peppered with commonly used Hindi terms like, aare paare (this way or that), guthi gutham (fisticuffs), juta hausla badla faisla (buck up and change the game) and jiyo khiladi wah re wah re.
