Perspective
Reviewing the soundtrack, Pratishruti Ganguly of Firstpost wrote, "The jukebox of Student of the Year proved to be a fitting pop culture confectionery for a Bollywood-obsessed fandom that grew up munching on romantic comedies [...] Unfortunately, tracks like "Hook Up Song" and "Mumbai Dilli Ki Kudiyan" perhaps indicate that the understanding of the "jawaan" [transl. youth] pulse is a tad misguided in this film".[11] Devarsi Ghosh of Scroll.in wrote "Vishal-Shekhar's soundtrack for Student Of The Year 2 is committed to the film's vision of being a High School Musical-like fantasy. Four out of the six songs are club bangers with a mix of Hindi-Punjabi lyrics. Vishal-Shekhar successfully bring freshness to the format, which is a testament to their impeccable grasp over dance music over the years."[12]
Debarati S Sen of The Times of India wrote "[Vishal–Shekhar] have managed to bring a fresh perspective to the soundscape in SOTY 2. While three of the six tracks are written by Anvita Dutt, four songs in the album are purely dance tracks and have a mix of Hindi-Punjabi lyrics. Vishal-Shekhar affirms their reputation as a music duo with an impeccable grasp on dance music. They not only bring in an easy freshness to the format, but the deft use of guitars, strings, trumpets, saxophone are applaud-worthy. This comes to the fore even when they contemporarise a classic."[13] Joginder Tuteja of Bollywood Hungama wrote "One expected the music of Student of the Year 2 to be largely fun and youthful, and in that aspect the soundtrack does well. There are half a dozen songs in there and while a couple of these are set to be chartbusters, another couple is set to grow in days to come."[14]
Kshamaya Daniel of Rediff.com wrote "The musical score composed by Vishal Shekhar was perhaps the best part of the film with three catchy tracks: Hook Up, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Mumbai Dilli Di Kudiya."[15] Ankur Pathak of HuffPost criticized the music to be "largely forgettable".[16] Tarun Bharadwaj of The Financial Express wrote "Music is not impressive either, songs come and go without moving beyond your ear lobes barring Kishore Kumar's evergreen Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani."[17]
