Feb 13: Adding to the haunting and atmospheric world of Kennedy is a powerful Night Anthem track that captures the film’s raw emotional intensity. Sung by the dynamic Vishal Dadlani, the song blends evocative vocals with a moody sonic landscape, perfectly mirroring the fractured psyche of the film’s protagonist. Composed and written by the talented duo Boyblanck and Shashwat Dwivedi, the track serves as an emotional extension of the film’s narrative, exploring themes of isolation, redemption, and the blurred lines between morality and survival.

Set against the backdrop of Mumbai’s dark and restless nights, the song seamlessly complements the journey of Kennedy Uday Shetty, played by Rahul Bhat, a former cop turned contract killer navigating a dangerous double life. Marking Anurag Kashyap’s return to his signature Mumbai noir storytelling, the film stands as his third major Mumbai-set crime narrative after Black Friday and Raman Raghav 2.0. Much like the film itself, the composition balances intensity with vulnerability, offering audiences a deeper insight into Kennedy’s internal conflict and emotional scars.

Directed by Anurag Kashyap, the film also features a compelling performance by Sunny Leone alongside a strong ensemble cast. Produced by Zee Studios and Good Bad Films, the film’s immersive musical landscape is further enriched by its haunting background score recorded with the Prague Philharmonic Choir, elevating the film’s brooding and atmospheric storytelling.

Together, the song and score become integral storytelling devices, amplifying the film’s noir tonality while drawing audiences deeper into Kennedy’s dark, relentless world.

Experience the haunting track from Kennedy and dive into its gritty world from 20th February, 2026, on Hindi ZEE5.
