It's rare when an Indian OTT show pays attention to its background score. Mirzapur 2 not only did that, but did it well. The music of the show, whether the title track, character themes or music used to build tempo, has come together seamlessly with the narrative. The last episode, where the lives of the Tripathis, Guptas and Pandits, come to an explosive point, sees the background score build the action aggressively but slowly, to make sure you don't miss a shred of emotion.

Although the credits list John Stewart Eduri as Series Music Composer, he says, "I have not composed a single song in the show. But I have got credited as music composer, because these days, the score is very important." Eduri arrived in Mumbai from Vishakapatnam in 2004 when he was 20. After getting a break with Salim-Suleiman, he started working with Vishal-Shekhar. Since 2013, he has been working solo, and has Thugs of Hindostan and Mardaani in his musicography.
