Song of the year #2 . Exquisite. -Arun Verma

Where is it going? Similar reaction as to "Alvidaa"...Dry voice = raw emotion? -Sanjeev

Jog-ish. -Nishant

In contrast to ‘alvidaa’ I was considerably less impressed with Arijit’s singing here. Some unnecessary extra emoting showed up spoiling the effect of the great music and lyrics for me. “जागे तो तब्रेज़ी, बोले तो रूमी है”!!! Gulzar saahib, hats off to you! -UVR

Although it reminds me of Dil Se re, this song definitely bears a strong Vishal Bharadwaj style. -Vaishali

Paying tribute to Dil Se? -Arun Simha

Arijit’s Yeh ishq hai is almost like Vishal’s cover of Dil se re! Sedate start that eventually hits the high-pitched ‘Yeh ishq hai’ like ‘Dil se re’! -Karthik

This guy gets on my nerves. -Zafar

Yeh Arijit boring haaaaiiiiii. Shades of title song of "dil se" with Singh matching ARR's ghastly rendition. -Shalini Razdan

This and alvida are the kind of songs I would like to see Arijit sing more. The man can do so much when he is not saddled with stereotypes. -Megha

Even just saying the word 'ishq' correctly sounds so lovely. And I'll give those points for it to VB. -Meera

Everything that you would expect from VB-Gulzar!. -Anup

It's resemblance with Dil Se apart, this is a fine song. -Param

Beautiful lyrics, composition and arrangement. Arijit sings it perfectly. -Harshit

The mild Dil Se hangover aside, the haunting romantic piece once again sees Arijit Singh at his soulful best. -Vipin
