Who is Reble? Meet the Voice Behind the Viral Dhurandhar Music Soundtrack
The foggy hills of Meghalaya have always been a haven for soulful melodies and underground beats, but in 2026, the music has finally broken out into the open. At the forefront of this musical revolution is Daiaphi Lamare, who is better known by her stage name Reble.
If you have browsed through Instagram or caught the latest action-packed spy drama Dhurandhar, you’ve already heard of her. She is the bold and unapologetic voice that has transformed the Dhurandhar Music scene into a viral sensation, proving that the North East is not only a part of the Indian music industry but is currently at the forefront of it.
Who is Reble? From West Jaintia Hills to the National Spotlight
Reble’s journey is a lesson in staying true to oneself and never giving up. Born in the West Jaintia Hills of Meghalaya, her musical journey began at the tender age of five. By the time she was ten, she was already writing her own lyrics, inspired by a wide range of genres that included rock, hip-hop, and indie. (Image courtesy: newindianexpress)
Prior to her major breakthrough, she was already a known entity in the underground DHH (Desi Hip Hop) scene. Songs such as Terror, Set It Off, and New Riot showcased her never-ending flow and clever lyrics. It was, however, her shift from the indie “Daya” alter ego to the powerful “Reble” that paved the way for her foray into the world of cinema.
The “Dhurandhar” Big Break
Reble did not merely contribute to the Dhurandhar soundtrack; she transformed it. Music composer Shashwat Sachdev recognized her untamed energy and realized that she was the missing element to complete Aditya Dhar’s ambitious spy thriller. (Image courtesy: news18)
Some of her most memorable performances are:
“Run Down The City – Monica”: A gritty and contemporary reinterpretation of the R.D. Burman classic, in which Reble’s rap adds a much-needed modern twist.
“Naal Nachna”: A high-octane collaboration with Afsana Khan that combines Punjabi folk with Reble’s trademark intensity.
“Move – Yeh Ishq Ishq”: A full-throated effort alongside Sonu Nigam that successfully bridged the gap between the legendary voices of Bollywood and the modern rap sound.
Why Reble’s Voice is Storming the Internet
The Dhurandhar Music channel’s success on the internet is not just about the rhythm and tunes; it’s about the psychology of the listeners. Reble’s voice has a “bite” that is free from any kind of manufacturing. In a world where pop music is over-manufactured, Reble’s raw energy and “unbreakable confidence” are what appeal to a generation Z audience that hungers for the real thing.
Reble’s voice has also triggered a series of Instagram reels and TikTok trends, where people are recreating the high-stakes drama of the movie. But more importantly, Reble uses her platform to showcase the voices of North East India, a region that she rightly says has “seldom been represented in mainstream media.”
“I had a dream and I wanted to be bigger than where I came from… I didn’t think I would get into the movies industry that soon, but Dhurandhar happened out of nowhere.”, said Reble.
What This Means for the New Music Trend in Indian Movies
The success of Reble and the Dhurandhar soundtrack indicates a massive shift in the way Bollywood thinks about music. We are leaving behind the typical item song and embracing story-driven, genre-bending soundtracks.
The Trends to Watch:
Global-Regional Fusion: Dhurandhar has managed to fuse Khaleeji rap (think Flipperachi’s Fa9la), North Eastern hip-hop, and Punjabi folk.
Indie Artists in the Mainstream: Filmmakers are no longer searching for “safe” artists; they want artists like Reble and Hanumankind, who have an existing fan base and a distinct cultural identity.
The Death of the “Remix,” The Birth of the “Reimagining”: Filmmakers are no longer content with the “remix”; rather, they demand the “reimagining” of classics, which is exactly what Sachdev is doing with the help of rappers, who “deconstruct and rebuild” classics to make them relevant to the global audience.
Conclusion
Reble’s journey from the hills of Shillong to the top of the Spotify charts is more than just a success story; it is a cultural milestone. It proves that when Bollywood opens its doors to the talent of the North East, the result is nothing short of electric. (Image courtesy: rollingstoneindia)
