'Dama Dam' track features the tagline 'Desh so raha hai' in it, about which director Nishikant Kamat said, "It is the system’s issue which we want to present. ‘Desh so raha hai’ is a very symbolic line. We have been sleeping over so many issues which means we are unaware about so many issues. We don’t know about numerous things which are lawfully ours, which are our rights according to the law book."

"It should talk to people and do something to them. Not just for the sake of entertainment you sing a song and dance to it, dance but that feeling should remain in you. Vishal sahab took a lot of time and one day he said, ‘you stop telling, let me do it the way I do it’. Then he came up with his own version and the lyrics written by Irshad (Kamil) is fantastic," added Irrfan Khan at the song launch.

Talking about his character and what difference it has compared to his other cop roles, Jimmy Sheirgill said at the event, "You think that it is a cop, he is something else, you don’t know who he is. You see it on July 15. It’s basically a CBI guy, it is a far more mature character, or a matured cop from what I have done before."

Talking about 'Dama Dam' track, Irrfan Khan said, "This song was very important for the film. That is why we kept discussing it with Vishal sahab (Bhardwaj) since many days about how we should be doing it. The idea was there in my mind how it should be, that it should become a youth anthem."
