Gangs of Wasseypur II is the soundtrack album to the 2012 film of the same name which is the second of a two-part film directed by Anurag Kashyap. When initially planned as a single film, musicians Sneha Khanwalkar and Piyush Mishra had composed around 27 songs; but as the film was split up into two parts, the first film's soundtrack had 14 songs, while the remainder made its way for the sequel. The musical palette consisted of Bihari folk music, which Khanwalkar curated on recording the sounds in Bihar and across parts of North and Central India. The composition process took more than two years. The soundtrack to Gangs of Wasseypur 2 was released on 11 July 2012, to positive reviews. Although critics noted the heavy influences of the first film's soundtrack, they praised the distinctive and unconventional appeal of the film's music. Khanwalkar received nominations from various ceremonies at Filmfare, IIFA, Screen and Producers Guild for her work in the film and the predecessor.
