Thunderous. And so brilliantly recorded as if you're listening live. -Anup

Farid Hasan and Mohammed Aman are two extremely talented singers. They navigate this jugalbandi set towards the climax of the series with so much confidence. Fabulous use of harmonium. Except for the need to use high notes to win the competition at the end, this song was absoutely breathtaking. -Vaishali

This is a stunning streaming debut for Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. Impeccable music and singing! -Aman

Superb. The jugalbandi is fantastic. -Subrat

Technical excellence with a jugalbandi punch. -Trisha

An outstanding classical song exploring the nuances to its full glory. Extraordinary singing. -Karthik

Even better than the solo version, primarily because of the intricate taans. -Aditya

The longer version of Garaj Garaj is also the tune's more traditional avatar with long aalaps, tablas keeping to the rhythm of rains and that harmonium that almost sounds like a singer.The song whips you into a frenzy, ending on a stupendous note, leaving behing a happy and calm space that reminds me you of that smell of fragrant, wet, earth after torrential monsoon rainfall. -Krithikaa

Garaj Garaj in both its versions is largely about the stellar singing by the musicians involved - Ajoy Chakraborty in one, and Farid Hasan and Mohammed Aman engaged in a duel in the other - the latter in particular is highlighted by the incredible improvisations by the two singers towards the close of the song. -Vipin

Impressive but I didn't feel the bliss. -Shalini

Both versions of this song are Very Good, but the one with Ajoy C. is better. This one has iffy sur in a few of the fast taans, and that spoils the mood for me. -UVR

Legit taankaari. -Armeen

Both singers deliver this song beautifully, with all the classical intricacies taken care of amazingly. Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's composition and arrangements take you to a darbar. The aalaaps are nuanced and exquisite. -Rujul

The climactic song of Bandish Bandits series depicts a jugalbandi between two competing singers. It’s a raaga based composition. The song just falls short of becoming an epic finale song in my opinion. -Mihir

The impact of this song multiplies manifolds if you watch the show. Fantastic composition and jugalbandi between Farid Hasan and Mohammed Aman. GOLD! Goosebumps all along!
इस रुत के संग रंगी हरित रंग में धरा
सब बिहंग आज दंग देख रंग ये हरा
इस ऋतु में आज तू भी अंग-अंग रंग ले
तार की झंकार छेड़, संग में मृदंग ले. -Akanksha

The jugalbandi feels like well-timed banter. -Svetlana
