A mix of Indian classical and pop music, the soundtrack of the show has been created by none other than the terrific music trio – Shankar Ehsaan Loy. The track “Sajan Bin” has already received thumbs up from the audience and the fans can’t wait for the entire soundtrack to release. The show also marks the digital debut of the trio across 200 countries and territories.

A bonus for Mirzapur fans
Remember Bablu and Guddu’s parents from Mirzapur? Yes, the very same jodi is back as a couple on Bandish Bandits. While Rajesh Tailang and Sheeba Chaddha’s characters in the new show are entirely different from Mirzapur, but their ability to hold the attention of the audience shall remain the same.
