Mostly ok, but the singer's voice doesn't have a sense of authority and the climax becomes dull. -Ashok

Sireesha Bhagavatula is a great discovery. Good music and arrangement by Amit Trivedi. -Sunil

Again lovely singing by Sireesha Bhagavatula. Very classical vibes. -Pankaj

"Baadal na tore udhedoongi ab se" - beautiful. I was only imagining how Begum Akhtar would have sung this! -Arun

Chhoti instead of choti is just not done. :(. -Neha

Poignant. And beautiful use of onomatopoeia in the stanzas. -Meera

Pristine composition, also a fine example of contemporarising a semi-classical melody really well. -Tatsam

Classical raga based composition. Love the sitar usage. -Pradeep

Beautiful composition, beautiful rendition. -Sukanya

The harmonium adds an intriguing layer of yearning to this track, accentuated by a classical assortment of instruments that all blend well with the melody. My only frustration is that there is an overreliance on a chorus line, as with many recent Amit Trivedi tracks, despite this one's classical ghazal-ish setting. Perhaps AT can take a lesson or two from SLB in setting such tracks to breakthrough their boundaries. Sireesha Bhagavatula's vocals are on point but do not emote the pain in the song's premise and Kausar Munir's words that well. -Shasank

She can't pronounce basic words, forget sing. Kudos on the usage of sarangi. -Ketan

This could have been an absolutely stunning song had the vocals been less matter-of-fact and detached. Why does she says "chhoTi" for "choTi"? -Sanjeev
