Reception

Dhaval Roy of The Times of India described the film's music as evocative, adding "The redux of Laxmikant-Pyarelal’s Abhimanyu from Inquilab retains Kishore Kumar’s original vocals, delivering an emotionally charged reimagining, while Goli Maar Bheje Mein (Satya) and Mitron Maidaan (Babbu Maan) exude raw edginess. Pul (Vishal Mishra) offers a soft, melodic contrast, and O Papa tugs at the heartstrings, leaving you reaching for tissues." [9] Rishabh Suri of Hindustan Times wrote "The music is mostly a rehash of classics, but the only one which suits the narrative is Abhimanyu from the film Inquilaab, in the voice of Kishore Kumar." [10] Sana Farzeen of India Today wrote "The makers earn additional brownie points for their choice of music, seamlessly blending old classics like Kallu Mama with Kishore Kumar’s Abhimanyu Chakravyuh Mein Fas Gaya Hai to enhance the drama and mood of the film." [11]

Ganesh Aaglave of Firstpost wrote "The amazing combo of legendary lyricist Gulzar and composer Vishal Bhardwaj contributed beautifully with their compositions, which blended beautifully with the theme of the movie." [12] Rishil Jogani of Pinkvilla summarized "The background music is a heartbeat of its own, amplifying the suspense. Songs like Abhimanyu, Goli Maar Bheje Mein, and Oh Papa are very different, yet they suit the mood of the film, brilliantly." [13] Critic based at Bollywood Hungama wrote "Vishal Bhardwaj's music is okay. 'Paapi' stands out while the recreations of 'Abhimanyu Chakravyuh Mein' and 'Goli Maar Bheje Mein' are impressive. Jesper Kyd's background score is top-class and elevates impact." [14]
