Jury comments

Lovely song- enhanced by the sounds of varied instruments, did not feel overdone. Loved Shilpa Rao's voice. Pleasantly surprised to hear Mika Singh sing this non-Punjabi song well. -Vaishali

Shilpa Rao is assuringly good and Mika channels his quieter self into the mood of the song. Music by Sneha is good and Raj Shekhar while doing Gulzar impersonation has made sure he doesn't go overboard with imagery. -Subrat

Sneha Khanwalkar is known to create amazing experiments -- proved here by the choice of Mika to render this semiclassical romantic song. The song overall is a calm and soothing romantic song with an atmospheric use of guitars and digital beats. Shilpa and Mika complement each other well. -Rujul

Mika's singing at the lower register is an obvious disadvantage to this lovely song which has Sneha's lovely voice and some lovely instruments as the only adornments to its tune. -Krithikaa

VB meets Mithoon. -Anup

It is refreshing to hear Mika Singh sing a soft melody instead of the usual dance-y ones where he was beginning to get really repetitive. Lovely melody from Sneha Khanwalkaras well, we don't get to hear a lot of this kind from the composer. Vishwa Mohan Bhatt's mohan veena stands out in the arrangement. Fab lyrics from Raj Shekhar as well. -Vipin

The song has a an emotional core that sticks and refuses to let go. -Amborish

I liked the lyrics and the feel, but it was ruined by the laziness of the singing -- Mika Singh's half-baked pronunciation, and Shilpa Rao being breathy, which simply isnt the same as soulful. -Trisha

Meandering track. -Mihir

That veena (by Vishwa Mohan Bhatt), plucks (by Tapas Roy) and supressed percussion contributes heavily to the moody ambiance of this haunting song. -Vishal

Loved the way Rajshekhar played around with aadha/aadhi. -Anish

Decent lyrics. Nice string interludes. Needed a different male singer though. -Aditya

Sneha Kanwalkar's music is usually quite unique but the hook line of this song kept reminding me of something similar. I finally placed it as 'Bade achhe lagte hai' that seems to have a resemblance to its meter and the pause before hook line. That said, I liked the song and particularly the use of Mika's voice that came in rather unpredictably but suited the song well. -Akanksha

I stuggled with identifying the mood/genre for a number of songs including this one and none of the usual cues , the tune, the lyrics, the emoting, the movie scene helped clear my confusion. Virtually every song is either blandly generic or mystifyingly ambiguous. And since they're all background songs now the song picturazation is of no help. -Shalini

The song in the end credits is reflective of the mood of the film. Sneha Khanwalkar has utilised Mika Singh so well in the track. -Aman

Mika has tried to break out of his "cookie cutter", and I respect him for it, but his voice isn't suited to this type of song. -UVR
