Wish they had gone softer on techno arrangements for this reimagined version of Bade Ghulam Ali Khan’s thumri. -Mihir

The singing is good for the traditional lyrics. Music is all over the place. -Subrat

Kaushiki keeps her voice in rein, until the very last phrase, when she lets us know what she really is. -Trisha

No acrobatic taans? Kaushiki is growing up :-)! The composers totally missed a great opportunity for a really creative fusion background. -Armeen

Salim-Suleiman adapt this classical tune into a mellow, almost jazzy song with Kaushiki adding to the beauty of the adaptation with her improvs. -Krithikaa

The strings portion was suprising for a thumri, but it works well. -Vishal

These Western-Indian classical numbers probably sound good "on-paper," but don't really work for me. I did appreciate the singer's straightforward, no-gimmicks rendition though. -Shalini

Koushiki's classical expertise shines through the track. -Amborish

The great composition by Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan Sahab is let down by below par production. -Anish

Salim-Sulaiman add their own soothing touch to this age-old thumri, and who could render it better than Kaushiki Chakraborty? The dubstep touch makes it sound appealing, and the soft strings coupled with the trademark Salim-Sulaiman piano chords make it sound unique. -Rujul

Kaushiki has an excellent voice, it's good to hear these collabs, but there were portions of this I wished had been designed better (Coke Studio fusions are somewhat better). -UVR

The song is all about Kaushiki Chakraborty's incredible delivery, particularly with Salim Sulaiman keeping the arrangement understated to let the singing take all the spotlight. What a singer! -Vipin

Listened to this on the loop. Original composition by Ustad Bade Ghulam Ali Khan sb. We need to see more collaboration between Kaushiki and Salim-Sulaiman. Only regret is that this was too short! -Akanksha
