Rishabh Suri of Hindustan Times wrote "The music complements the plot, although it raises one question: did we really need a song to underscore every major beat? Maybe not, but in the larger flow of things, it settles in."^[6] Sakshi Salil Chavan of Outlook wrote "The music in Part 2 underlines every narrative beat with near-ritualistic predictability and isn't as memorable as it was in its predecessor."^[7] Shilajit Mitra of The Hollywood Reporter India was however critical of the music, adding "There is a song that pairs s'il vous plaît with sil-batta and includes, just for kicks, nods to Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame. The French will never forgive."^[8] Bollywood Hungama wrote "The background score is also aptly dramatic, elevating the moments and helping us enjoy them optimally. Special mention to the songs that grabbed the attention unexpectedly and instantly."^[9]
