2023

2023 saw some brilliant retro flavoured tracks across movies and web series across languages, and this one from Sam Bahadur sits right on top of the Bollywood pile for me. Shankar Ehsaan Loy tapping into classics like Aaiye Meherbaan with some spectacular lines by Gulzar in tow. And a special hat tip for bringing Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal together to sing this one! -Vipin

Sonu-Shreya duet supremacy! -Harsh

Lovely duet that's evidently fashioned like an oldie. Pleasant enough. But I'm beginning to get a bit wary of too many new Hindi film songs sounding like old Hindi film songs. -Zico

Lovely retro jazz - even rendition by Sonu and Shreya suits the mood. Beautiful guitar interludes with string and brass counters…great song. -Pranav

This is how you do the warm sound of the bygone eras while pushing music forward in the here and now! Richly produced retro arrangements are a treat to hear, but the melody just soars above and beyond and tugs at all the right strings. Sonu Nigam and Shreya Goshal are sublime at emoting the many whimsies of this track, with playful words from Gulzar saab. Charming! -Shasank

The hawaiian guitar, the percussive instruments once again took me back to the sixties - the first interlude reminded me of "Aage bhi jaane na tu" from 'Waqt'. -Sunil

Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal and SEL take us to 60s. Wonderfully sung and arranged. -Pradeep

Works overall. The music is refreshing, even if it carries some traditional-Hindi-film sounds. -Guri

Khoobsoorat gaana! Sonu, Shreya, SEL, Gulzar and the old world charm! 'Hum tham lenge, tum dagmaga lo, hanste ho tum to haseen lagte ho'. -Akanksha

Sonu with Shreya: lovely. -Ashwini

That was a nice, retro touch. -Subrat

Interesting 50's style music-a mix of SDB and OPN. -Ketan

What a cute beautiful song, set to period music... loved it. -Neha

Sonu Nigam and Shreya Ghoshal don't have to try this hard. -Tatsam
