A gently insistent rendition that stands out in the crowd of songs. Feels like real poetry, not the rhyming words other people seem to just string together. -Trisha

Reminded me of the song from Betaabi which VB had got written by Bashir Badr. -Anish

This is a typical Vishal Bhardwaj melody. Reminiscent of his earlier compositions like Bekaran, Tere Liye. VB’s dreamy vocals elevate this song. -Mihir

I'm a Bashir Badr fan and Vishal has sung this well. -Subrat

Like the ace filmmaker that he is, Vishal Bharadwaj evokes great imagery through this gem of a song. -Amborish

This soft and melodious song quitely got stuck in the head. -Vaishali

Tulsi ke peeche raaton ki raani :). -Akanksha

Sounds a bit rushed and never soars. Too flat and boring. -Anup

The composition is very trademark Vishal Bhardwaj, but doesn't stick with you after the song is over. The man delivers the composition beautifully, though and the song is worth a listen for his rendition of Dr. Bashir Badr's beautiful lyrics. -Rujul

It is an old Vishal Bhardwaj composition and there's a 7-year old YouTube video of Rekha Bhardwaj beautifully crooning the track. The wife won this round! -Aman

Vishal Bhardwaj can ace the template of wintertime in the mountain songs in his sleep I guess. In the line of Khamakha, Pehli Baar and Khul Kabhi Toh comes Palkein Kholo, with a strong call back to Khamakha and Pehli Baar that makes you want to loop these three songs again and again and again. -Krithikaa

Vishal Bharadwaj should have picked a different singer. His voice is really poorly suited for this song. I would have rated this a 4 but for Vishal's inadequate singing. -UVR

Vishal Bhardwaj channeling his inner Gulzar but just doesn't have the same way with words as the legend. Vishal sounds like he's singing to a particularly skittish colt. -Shalini
