Gulzar's words brings an amazing freshness to the song. It is amazing that one can take a topic like 'Dil Hi to Hai' and write such lovely metaphors after almost 6 decades of writing lyrics. -Sunil

This is the kind of song you can vibe to on a road trip. -DM

Gulzar saab, Arijit & Pritam - What a terrific combo. Dil hi toh hai is a delightful, happy, joie de vivre track. Gulzar saab talks about heart in such a joyous manner. You sway and sing along to this beautiful, feel-good song. शर्तें लगाता है हर बार क्यूँ? दिल. जज़्बे जगाता है और रुलाता है क्यूँ यार तू? दिल! Excellent! -Mihir

I'd have taken this as a Javed sb's song excepting for some telltale catchphrases. So wonderful to hear a 'regular' love song from Gulzar Sb. I however wish Pritam sb had broken his mould and made this differntly. -Naresh

गुलज़ार अपने चिर-परिचित अंदाज़ में हैं. -अंकित

No melody at all. -Abhay

Lyrics kind of interesting; that's it. -Ashok

The most striking thing for me is how the singers fit in complex words magistrate etc in a set music by going offbeat in places. For me it could’ve been hummable if the lyrics were better. The English bit is useless. Dont know! -Akanksha

Man, how many ways do I hate this song, let me count the ways. Arijit Singh has got his whole pitaara of wailing and dumped it all over this. -Subrat

Some interesting Metaphoric lines to a feel good romantic song. -Pavan

Gulzar Pritam Arijit for the first time together? Lovely piano/synth hook, perfect singing, very earwormy. -Sankhayan

Good catchy song. Lyrics stand out - ye sidhiyaan purani aur akeli main! -Hemendra

Traditional Pritam song, beautifully sung by Arijit and Antara, wonderfully cute lyrics by Gulzar saab, and the amazing choir makes it all the more delightful. -Rujul

Enjoyable song for the most part, but 'kurpench' just throws me off. -Aditya

Can't take any more of these dime a dozen tunes! -Armeen

Decent music. Has the feel of a song from Star by Zoheb Hassan/Biddu. Nonsensical repetitive lyrics. Strained singing by Arijit--as if his dil is undergoing some cardiac seizures. -Ketan

Love the Gospelish Chorus, Love the organs used and love the easy breezy tune but love the lyrics most of all. -Krithikaa
