The minor guitar chords and prominent rock percussion elevate this from a languorous emo song into a very engaging listen! -DM

Solid! Even with Arijit sounding a lot like his typical stuff, this song still works. After Rangoon and this, I have come to the conclusion that Vishal Bhardwaj is the right match for Arijit to keep him in check. -Megha

There is something about this song that fixates you. Soulful music with lovely interludes and vocals. Very engaging. -Sowmya

Arijit sounds as if he is on medication. Gulzar's lyrics are unimpressive. -Ketan

Arijit in good form - not as straight and simple as song # 50 but also not too over-the-top. -Sanjeev

The simplicity of the guitar-led arrangement works just right with Gulzar's metaphorical lines. -Nagarajan

VB signature style. -Meera

Typical vishal B composition. was looking for siganture Gulzar touch - didn't find much but good lyrics anyhow. -Arun

I tend to prefer Vishal Bhardwaj's and Gulzar's mellower songs over their faster-paced/louder ones and this is true in Pataakha as well A hauntingly good tune, simple but tasteful arrangements, excellent lyrics by Gulzar and a superb rendition by Arijit Singh make this song an earworm. -Param

For me there seems to be mismatch between the rustic flavor of the lyrics and the modern sounds of the music. It is pleasing to hear though but the music does not seem to match the character of the film. -Sunil

Vishal/Gulzar/Arijit makes a classic. Bhide re bhide… only gulzar :). -Hemendra
