Why a song about aazaadiyaa.N and naa Daranaa begins on such a hushed, whispery note. Frankly does nothing for me, not helped by a bunch of disinterested students parroting a shloka in a class. The song does not soar even where it is pretending to. -Vibhendu

 

Great composition with so many layers…really evokes a feeling of 'aazaadii' -Shalini

 

Like the violin-sitar in the interludes, the singing is non-jarring but nothing special. -Shashi

 

Taken outside the context of the film, the songs of the film didn't have as much of an impact on me as they had when I was watching the movie. The lyrics are interesting in and of themselves, but the effect is diluted without the visuals in accompaniment. -UVR

 

The song that signifies the entire film. Wonderfully sung and composed. -Karthik

 

Like the way it's sung - ballad style (have to give Rahman credit for introducing it in desi music) but Amit Trivedi really rocks. -Pranav

 

Whatta song! Amit Trivedi has arrived! -Neha
