2018

One of the favorites of the year, despite overloaded with Punjabi lyrics & poetry. A nuanced dual paced composition by Amit Trivedi with a good mix of melody & rock anthemic feel, backedup with some real good orchestration. -Pavan

Passionate singing by Shahid Malya. He's a find when it comes to Punjabi songs like this. -Meera

Amit Trivedi excels in such compositions where he mixes folk with contemporary style. Amazing how he manages to still keep it stuck to basics with each instrument playing exactly the role it is designed to play, drums, distortion guitar, strings…all coming together wonderfully. Don't miss the flute pieces throughout the song which elevate this song to a new level. -Pranav

ये मीठे उलाहने वाला गाना है। 'आत्मपीड़न रति' से भरा।. -मिहिर

As someone with just a little understanding of Punjabi, Manmarziyaan, with fourteen Punjabi songs, was not an easy listen for me. However, Daryaa, rose above the sameness, thanks to the well-executed pop/folk fusion, some very good singing by Ammy Virk and the catchy tune. The short flute solo by Paras Nath towards the end is masterful. -Param

I like the hook line of this song a lot. It just hits you in the gut. -Hemendra

Substandard music and that too from Amit Trivedi throughout this album. Nothing is worth recommending here. -Ketan

Many of Amit's songs in the album begin very simply but he builds them layer by layer for a wonderful impact. Beautiful use of the flute. -Sunil

It is hard to imagine the song without Paras Nath's flute segment. Terrific production. The song is up there in Trivedi's repertoire. -Nagarajan

Too good! The raw emotions portrayed so well by lyrics and singing. -Arun

Nice beginning, but the loud chorus is a little distracting. Not getting into the thumping drum beats here...perhaps the song works better with the on-screen visuals. -Sanjeev
