Dhurandhar: Akshaye Khanna’s Rehman Dakait Entry On FA9LA Song Breaks The Internet; Fans Compare It To Bobby Deol’s ‘Jamal Kudu’

FA9LA In Dhurandhar: The internet can’t get enough of FA9LA, the high-energy Bahraini track that accompanies Akshaye Khanna’s powerful entry as Rehman Dakait in the film Dhurandhar. Since the movie released on December 5, the song has taken over social media, adding to the hype around Akshaye’s character and becoming one of the standout moments of the film. If the tune is stuck in your head too, here’s a complete look at why FA9LA has become such a phenomenon and how it enhances one of the most gripping scenes in the film.

About Akshaye Khanna’s Viral Song From Dhurandhar

The song, titled FA9LA, is written and performed by Bahraini artists Flipperachi and Daffy, with DJ Outlaw serving as its composer. The track’s catchy Khaleeji hip-hop rhythm hits right at the moment when Akshaye Khanna appears on screen, creating a wave of excitement among the audience. His portrayal of the cold and ruthless Pakistani crime lord Rehman Dakait is already being praised widely, and FA9LA plays a major role in elevating his introduction.

In the introduction sequence, Akshaye Khanna is seen walking confidently across a harsh, sandy landscape resembling the Karachi-Balochistan region. Dressed in a stylish black outfit and sunglasses, he exudes a calm yet intimidating presence. The modern, urban beats of the song combined with the rugged surroundings create a dramatic contrast that further enhances the visual impact of the scene. Social media platforms are overflowing with fan edits, reels, and tributes celebrating the FA9LA entry. Many viewers have called it one of the best villain introductions in recent Indian cinema.

Meanwhile, comparisons are also being drawn to Bobby Deol’s viral entry in Animal, which featured the Iranian track Jamal Kudu. Just as Jamal Kudu helped define Bobby’s character in Animal, FA9LA shapes the identity of Rehman Dakait in Dhurandhar. Fans are now claiming that Akshaye Khanna steals the show entirely, with Rehman Dakait emerging as one of the film’s most impactful characters. The clever use of music has played a significant role in this perception, helping establish the tone of the character from the very beginning.
