Another promotional number from Pritam that could have easily become an overtly saccharine excess of nostalgia, but Pritam delivers a simple, hummable, yet consistently interesting melody that is interspersed with characterful and upbeat production and arrangements. Then he brings Sonu Nigam out of his typical hiding for that effortless charm he always brings to the singing. Everything here, including the lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya seems very simple, but the discerning can tell that there's a thoughtful effort that went into it all. -Shasank

Meditative, but gets monotonous. "pam pararapam" doesn't propel it enough. If I revisit the song, it'll be for the lyrics. -Ashok

One of the most beautiful songs of the year. Lovely lyrics about the stories of our lives, complemented by Sonu Nigam’s singing. -Pankaj

The singing takes this average song a few levels up. The arrangements are similar to Barfi. -Pradeep

The metaphors draw up a beautiful visual imagery, music and singing complement. -Meera

Thankfully Sonu sounds good here, better from his over-emoting days. Very serviceable stuff from Pritam and Amitabh combo. Shades of 3 Idiots and Lage Raho Munnabhai. -Arun

The deceptive simplicity of its music and lyrics is what makes this song special. Refreshing to hear Sonu Nigam! -Svetlana

Good to hear traces of the Sonu of old. Nice accordion effect. -Ketan

Fairytale-ish. -Zico

Casts a spell of enchantment. -Sukanya

Exquisite, simple melody -- sung by Sonu Nigam using a light touch. -Tatsam

Auto tune does no one any favours. -Anuradha

Lovely song. -Neha

Amitabh Bhattacharya has consistently written good lyrics for this entire soundtrack. This song is no different. Sonu is effortless as usual. -Sunil
