The best from Ludo. Arijit Singh at his best. Pritam has literally killed the song. Once the harmonium kicks in, the melody is a complete earworm. Shilpa Rao's version is a tad bit better due to her earthy vocals! -Aman
Song of the year! -Anup
Nothing new, but nicely done. -Trisha
A wonderful melange of ghazal and EDM elements -- Sayeed Quadri's lyrics complement the adorable composition well, while Arijit renders it with ease. The sarod and sitar is a beautiful touch, while the other techno programming makes the song sound upbeat and quirky. Well-programmed and aptly crisp song. -Rujul
This is Pritam's year. Ludo is another winner of an album and differently from Love Aaj Kal, it is more to Pritam's credit than to the lyricists. The semi-classical touches with the sarod are lovely. -Akanksha
Brings back memories of Arijit from Phir Le Aaya or Raabta. Though the Shilpa Rao version of the song is better. -Subrat
I was glad to see lyricist Sayeed Quadri's name in the credits after a long time. Arijit does what he does well -- but the true highlights of this song for me was that groovy harmonium (by Feroz Shah) and Sarod (by Roopak Naigaonkar). -Vishal
Wonderful rendition by the singers on both the versions. -Anish
The team that gave us the beautiful Phir Le Aaya Dil in Barfi, reunite to produce another lovely in the same zone. One of the best songs from the soundtrack. -Vipin
Pritam inserts from interesting instrumentals into the backing track that make you sit up and say 'what was that?' and play the song again. An enjoyable song. -UVR
Seems to be a re-tread of the "ya to aabaad kardo" number with "hardam humdaam" as the rhyming equivalent of "aabaad barbaad.". -Shalini
Harmoniums, keys and an almost synth sounding bass support Arijit as he sings about his lady love. The sitar phrase scintillates and makes you swing your head side to side. -Krithikaa
This stunning track from Ludo is among my favorite songs of the year. Pritam has produced a ghazal-ish melody with a beautiful use of Sarod. He has collaborated with his long time associate Sayeed Quadri for the simple and elegant lyrics here. The song transitions from gorgeous ‘mukhda’ to a spectacular ‘antara’ when Arijit goes ‘Kitna hoon chahta kaise kahoon usse..’. After ‘Phir Le Aaya Dil’ from Barfi, this track is another gem from the team of Basu-Pritam-Sayeed-Arijit. -Mihir
