Song meanders a bit, but good singing and instrumentation (a bit "standard" for ARR, reminded of "Mahi Ve" from The Legend of Bhagat Singh). I know he's trying to create the "Sufi tarana" effect with the "Tum Tak" repetition, but I am not getting into it. -Sanjeev

Good lyrics, singing is good but the song dies a painful death at the hands of Rehman who just doesn't get the meter and "sound" of Hindi words. -Pranav

Javed Ali leads the song in his own style and Rahman uses his own free flowing structure to build a lovely song. -Karthik

Bhajan in the mukhda, too much experimentation in the interludes. -Nishant

What a dulcet number! The onomatopoeic embellishments are wonderful. The only dissonant piece is when the 2nd male singer is first heard - seems to be at odds with the rest of the song. (The song recovers.) The shehnai and sitar are well used. A great end too. -Ramanand

Is it Tum Tak, or Tuuuuu Tak? I'm confused -Amit

Another of my favourites this year. Vey amazing arrangement! -Meera

Well, that was annoying! -Shalini Razdan

Javed Ali does a great job so does Dr. Irshad Kamil -Arun

ARR command on cadence is remarkable ! -Naresh

अच्छा गीत बनते बनते रह गया .रहमान खुद को दौहराने से बच नहीं पाते. जावेद अली अच्छे सुनाई देते हैं -विकास

Boring -Zafar

Love the scale changes in the song and therefore I rate the singing and music higher. Even though my gripe still remains that Banarasiya did not make the cut :( -Hemendra

इरशाद के बढिया बोल। और जावेद अली की बढिया गायकी। रहमान के इन दिनों के उल्‍लेखनीय गानों में से एक। -Yunus
