Mohan Kannan and Asees Kaur sound good together. -Trisha

Mohan Kannan is the saving grace here. -Aman

The Mohan-SEL combination always works wonders. His great baritone is tailor-made for SEL's sad songs. Here, he renders the high notes effortlessly. The song has shades of Ek Nadi Thi from Mirzya and Ove Jaaniya from Katti Batti, and seems as well-rounded as both of those songs. -Rujul

Dil par bhaari khadmon pe chalte tanhayyion ke lamhe, sings Mohan Kannan, moving out heart and emotions and the gentle twanging guitar makes us stop and contemplate the depth of emotions behind the words. Mohan Kannan's ragged voice drips with emotion in an oh so lovely way. -Krithikaa

Again, the female voice, though good, does not go well with the feel of the song. -Aditya

There is a lot going in the arrangement here yet feels minimal - neatly done. -Anup

Two thoughts about this song, both of which I can't quite believe I am saying. One, this song needed better lyrics, in absence of which, it is not memorable or hummable despite have been sung well. Can't believe I am saying this for a Javed Akhtar song. And two, that Asees Kaur sounds more pleasant and in control than Mohan Kannan. -Akanksha

Both singers, Mohan Kannan and Anees Kaur, did a fantastic job! Some of the melodic countours are so beautiful; quintessential Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy! -Vishal

I liked it. The lyrics are good and the orchestration stays minimal. -Subrat

I found this to be the best song of the movie. Both singers have sung it with a lot of sukoon. Asees Kaur's voice has a depth that hits the spot, and Mohan Kannan sounds like a good Shankar, like Shankar used to about 10 years ago. -UVR

The composition is reminiscent of SD Burman’s style of music. The rawness of Mohan’s vocals suits the song. Glad to see the SEL-JA team back creating music. -Mihir

Soulful duet. Mohan Kannan sounds a lot like Shankar. Asees Kaur in the lower octave was perfect for the song. -Vaishali

Different musical influences come together in an excellent manner. -Anish

Shankar Ehsaan Loy are strong contenders for composers of the year based on the quality of their output across movies and web series - this folk-flavoured piece from Pangaa was one of their top songs. Beautiful writing by Javed Akhtar, delivered in style by Mohan and Asees Kaur. -Vipin
