Jury comments

Dinesh Pant's lyrics are sharp and funny and philosophical, while being apposite for the specific situation. A song thatmakes a success of rhyming sikandar with bandar demands applause. -Trisha

The most accesible song on the album. Interesting to hear Tochi and Anuj's contrasting voices on the track. -Anish

A catchy, folk number that's playful and forgettable. -Subrat

The lyrics of this song are another level! Different from a few other songs in this album that are deeply similar to writings by Bhakti saints, this song captures the same spirit but in more original lyrics. Hard to select from so many remarkable lines in the song, but "खन-खन खनके गिनती के सिक्के, साँसों की टकसाल में" will remain with me as some of the most poetic lines from 2020. Full marks to Dinesh Pant. -Akanksha

Anuj Garg's excellent folk fusion composition is a super enaging listen with wonderful word play / The best part of the song is he change in tempo in Antara, accompanied by wonderful string work before going back to the laid back tempo of the mukdha. Totally loop worthy. -Krithikaa

Anuj Garg brings to this album yet another beautiful fusion song. A song tailor made for Tochi Raina, and with beautiful lyrics by Dinesh Pant, this one happens to be my favourite from the Gulabo Sitabo album. The uptempo portion in the antara is aptly inspirational. -Rujul

Unusual instruments and rhythm makes this philosophical song even more interesting. It fits well in the movie. Good singing by Tochi Raina and Anuj Garg. Although he seems to have composed music for filmspreviously, this may be the breakout yearfor this talented composer. -Vaishali

This is a random connection, but the lyrics reminded me of a song from Aankhen (1993): 'Bade kaam ka bandar, naache to sikandar..'. -Vishal

Very Indian Ocean feels. Good instrumentation and arrangement. -Aman

Like some of the other songs of the album, the strings are the highlight. -Aditya
