Every year there is one song that becomes the whole-is-greater-than-the-sum-of-its-parts number. This is my pick for this year. Beautiful lyrics, lovely melody and Vishal's singing has that a very interesting blend of rustic meets refined. Love! -Priya

Exceptional, particularly in the way the song fuses together HFM romantic melody, African humming, and the folk coda. Mint-fresh poetry. Vishal's vocal expression override the flaws in song delivery. Very easy on the ears. -Ramanand

Yet another hopelessly in love song from Gulzar and Vishal. Heaven. -Amit

Vishal B disappoints both as composer and singer in this song -Naresh

I’d never have imagined the end that this song has. Gulzar sa’ab and VB -- no way you don’t get magic! -Meera

The lazyness of lyrics, Gulzar, Prem dehati. Enough said. Too much brilliance in one song -Rohit

Had to look up the lyrics since I couldn't understand Vishal's indistinct burr. -Shalini Razdan

This is a song that Vishal usually hands over to Suresh Wadkar, but for some odd reason chose to sing it himself. The gorgeous tune thankfully smoothens out his singing. -Karthik

विशाल का गाया गीत अच्छा है, 'ख़ाम-ख़ा नहीं’ .कहीं कहीं जगहों पर ओमकारा के गीत की हलकी छाप लिए . -विकास

So VB-Gulzar. From khalish to Brahma-Vishnu-Mahesh to Afro, thoda zyada nahi ho gaya? -Nishant

Vishal is too soft a singer to create an impact… good attempt to create that haryanvi sound. Sample Gulzar:
Jo nahi kiya, kar ke dekhna
Saans rok ke, mar ke dekhna -Arun

Love the lyrics (ofc) but Vishal's solos are getting slightly repetitive. -Hemendra

सिर्फ विशाल की प्‍यारी आवाज़ के लिए सुन सकते हैं -Yunus

Vishal B.'s vocals aren't doing it for me…guess I'd have to watch the movie to understand the inclusion of the African (Swahili?) lyrics, and the last part? -Sanjeev

Another favorite song from this year's list. The chorus in the beginning is the only slightly jarring thing about this song. Otherwise, some lovely lyrics, singing and music. I love how he says the line 'paagalpan hai aise tumpe marna'. A song that reminds me of hot summer afternoons. Much like 'o saathi re' from Omkara did. -Megha
