Background Unlike its predecessor, which had fifteen songs, the soundtrack to its sequel featured nine songs. Anurag Saikia had contributed three songs, while Manan Bhardwaj had contributed four songs in the album. Likewise, Aaishvary had composed the "End Theme" for this album, whereas Bhojpuri singer Deepak Thakur performed the track "Bidhana" with Parimal Shais and Kalmi. While the first film's soundtrack had varied with a multitude of genres and sound, the composers decided to lean in with a more disciplined sound to focus on the revenge-based narrative.The song "Neend Bhi Teri" was also featured in this film, albeit both composers, singers and lyricists being changed. The song's initial version was earlier credited under Aaishvary's vocals which Bhardwaj had liked. Later Saikia had conducted new arrangements and orchestrations with newer lyrics written by Sagar. He had also composed "Rendezvous Raja" reuniting with Madhubanti Bagchi, whom had previously sung the title track "Filam Dekho" for Nishaanchi.
Release Nishaanchi Part 2's soundtrack was released on 14 November 2025 through Zee Music Company. The soundtrack was released directly without any singles being released prior owing to the film's sudden premiere on Amazon Prime Video.
Track listing
Reception 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." 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." 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." 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."
