Gulzar has created some marvelous expressions in awadhi in this! -Arun

The music despite being L-Pish has its bright moments but the singing is a huge letdown. Begum Akhtar took this to great heights from which Rekha B brings it down-- without a parachute -Ketan

Some lovely combination of rock and folk going on in this song. Even though the song is meant to be spirited (based on the lyrics), it fails to jive to it's true intent and comes across as sluggish. -Sowmya

Gulzar, Vishal and Rekha weaved a mesmerising musical web -Parul

Reminiscent of songs from 1940s, in a good way. -Zafar

The beginning of the song is reminiscent of ARR-Mani_Ratnam territory and then it makes a smooth progression to Bhardwaj's arena with his deft semi-classical touches. Singing is top-notch. Gulzar adds his own color to the old Thumri - 'Aaja gilauri, khilay doon kimaami.. Laali pe laali tanik hui jaaye..' -Mihir M

खिलंदड़, बदमिजाज़, नशीला। लेकिन फ़िर जिन्होंने विजय मर्चेंट अौर मुश्ताक़ अली की बल्लेबाज़ी देखी हो वे गावस्कर अौर तेंदुल्कर पर कहाँ फ़िसलेंगे। -मिहिर पं.

I am a fan of this entire soundtrack, especially the use of Begum's thumris and Dadras in the movie. Rekha's version of Hamari atariya is truly magical! -Hemendra

Folk feel (intro sounds like punjabi folk), fused with guitar, banjo, dholaks. Absolutely loved all the dholak pick ups. -Pranav

प्रयोग है। पर क्लासिक रचना के साथ ये छेड़छाड़ अच्छी नहीं लगी। ये कहना होगा कि रेखा जी की आवाज़ ने गाने को बचा लिया है। -यूनुस

Adaptation of the well-known piece popularized by Begum Akhtar -Sanjeev

Interesting arrangement and programming. Points to Clinton for this one. -Meera
