Reception
Dhurandhar: The Revenge (soundtrack)
Bollywood Hungama stated, "the film's music may not be as legendary as the first part, but it has its own charm and is well incorporated and also praised songs like 'Aari Aari' and 'Jaan Se Guzarte Hain'". News18 praised the film's soundtrack and its effective role in enhancing film's overall impact; they also praised the incorporation of old, familiar songs within the narrative. The Week also praised Shashwat Sachdev's musical score and praised the inclusion of retro iconic tracks, but at the same time said that overall soundtrack is just a notch below the former one. Hindustan Times viewed that the film's soundtrack may not be good as the first one, however the background score was praised especially in the climax. The Hindu said that even though Shashwat's soundtrack does not match energy of first part, however repurposed old songs like Rasputin, Tamma Tamma and Tirchi Topiwala are fun in spots but felt more slapped than iconic.
