2018

"Bridge" is kinda interesting, and antaras open up unexpectedly...but what's with the flat, "nonchalant" vocals on the descending "mil jaaye to kehna"? Never got the appeal of this sort of "emoting". -Sanjeev

One of the top songs for me this year. I love everything about it, but Andhadhun as a track has blown me away by the use of Piano. Amit Trivedi has put it at the center of every track and it gels so well with themovie narrative where Ayushmann is a piano player. Every songs brings you right back into that movie. For this movie, the ups and down in the music, the singing, lyrics - can't ever listen to it once. -Hemendra

Some spirited singing from Arijit - lovely interludes, cute lyrics ! -Arun

The piano takes the forefront in this one as well, but the operatic influences are what eventually sell it. Makes one want to break out into a tango! But lyrically weak. -Megha

Arijit Singh is in top form, pushing and restraining his voice keeping up with the beautiful operatic progression. The initial almost-one-minute build up to the actual melody is brilliant. -Nagarajan

I wish they had eased up a bit on autotune. The arrangement has a distinct SJ flavor, especially the piano and strings. -Pranav

Forced words and tune and singing. -Ashok

A fantastic tribute to the Hindi film piano songs of yore. The piano, accordion and castanet evoke the Hindi film melodies of the 50s and 60s, and the otherwise contemporary arrangement keeps it fresh. Killer piano by Jarvis Menezes. -Param

Best composition and vocally intriguing among all the Andhadhun songs. Loved the eeriness and haunting ethos. -Sowmya

Strong emotional landscape, even though the song has a prominent percussion line. -DM

Despite the retro feel, the song sounds fresh. Arijit ki khuli aawaaz, nic. -Meera

Arijit ends up being sloppy in his pronunciations. -Ketan
