This song oscillates so beautifully between dark haunting notes and passionate love. Clinton’s arrangement is the winner, for me. -Meera

Hum-ho! Rare Forgettable Vishal-Gulzar combo -Arun

I am smitten by Clinton Cerejo's voice in this one. Gulzar and Vishal weave magic! -Priya

I will be honest. I saw Emran Hashmi + horror and automatically assumed a Vikram Bhatt type flick with stolen tunes. Am glad I was so horribly wrong. Ek Thi Daayan has been a revelation. Gulzar's words, Vishal's music and Clinton Cerejo's beautiful voice has made this song an absolute treasure of this year's collection. -Megha

Very Gulzarish in words. Ok-ish attempt at singing of a ok-ish composition -Nishant

A middling nice song without any extraordinary highlights. Parts of it sound quite good, like the string section in the middle. -Ramanand

The singing seems flat, and so the song doesn't take off in my mind -Amit

ठीक-ठाक गाना। -Yunus

So unimpressive and forgetable ! -Shalini Ramachandran

Not quite convinced by Vishal B.'s singing style - but maybe right for this sort of background/situation -Sanjeev

Soothing. -Naresh

Clinton C's voice is amazingly smooth, perfect for these kinda songs. Vishal B. has mastered the art of jazz arrangement and chord progressions. The song somehow reminded me of Badalon se kaat kaat ke from Satya. -Pranav

Typical ARRish song -Zafar

गीत एक ‘रहस्य’ का एहसास लिए, लेकिन गीत का जादू इतना नहीं है -विकास

Like the drama quotient of the song. Lyrics are top notch. Music is very Vishalesque. -Hemendra
