Raw vocals, philosophical lyrics, unobtrusive music: what's not to like! -UVR

Vinod Dubey borrows the opening lines from an old bhajan and makes it his own by providing not just warnings ('kshan-bhangur kaaya') but also solace ('ho ishwar tere saath'). -Vishal

Rather liked this one and If I squint just right, I can hear Kavi Pradeep singing. -Shalini

Has a wonderful folksy tune…written well, sung well. -Amborish

Great choice of singer. -Anup

Shantanu Moitra's minimal fusion works well, and the choice of singer makes the song more interesting and true to its genre. The strings portion towards the end boosts the song in its likeability quotient. -Rujul

The wandering mendicant kind of track, bit of Kabir, Dada Burman and travel vibes thrown in. Lovely to listen. -Subrat

This Kabir-like song, written and sung by Vinod Dubey, is one of the best film songs of the year. Shantanu Moitra creates the perfect folk music vibe with minimal instrumentation, reminiscent of wise men who used to sing on the streets. -Vaishali

Usage of words like 'kshaNbhangur' in such an organic way and that too in this time and age are really welcome. The use of 'aayo' together with 'jaayega', 'laaya', etc. sounds a bit odd though. -Aditya

Baul style singing by Vinod Dubey is just so authentic that the lyrics hit differently. Shantanu Moitra is a master of such tunes and has composed the song suitably. -Akanksha

The wisdom of bhakti saints like Kabir poured into new lyrical, rhythmic form. -Trisha

The tune, lyrics and vocals complement each other well. -Anish
