Oh boy! Why and how did I miss the song and soundtrack and movie. What a beautiful song. -Neha

Nice, not exceptional. -Sukanya

Starts off simple, but eventually sneaks up on you. -Tatsam

Nice but not as great as Qala or Monica - better than Gehraiyan for sure. -Svetlana

The sax is lovely. -Zico

You could tell this was an Indian Ocean song without looking at the credits. The drum work and guitar layers are complex and intriguing, and so is the melody - providing interesting delayed gratification with its high notes while also giving a laid back vibe. A fascinating, interesting song. Varun Grover's lyrics are good but I'd have loved a bit more magic in the expressions. Papon and Monali Thakur's singing though is on point, perfectly toned for this type of track. -Shasank

Good to hear a saxophone solo. Papon has surely done some paap to sing that way. Monali saves the day with a nice tune that seems to pick up in the second half. -Ketan

I had never heard of the movie, or the song, or that Indian Ocean had come up with this new album. Good discovery thanks to RMIM Puraskaar. Love the shift in the tempo in the song. Papon is not utilized enough in hindi movies. He has a lot of potential. It was good to hear a good saxophone interlude before the pace of the song picks up. The song had a pleasing arrangement. -Sunil

Guitar prelude more than a minute...even if it's chopped in the movie, it's long to listen to...Voices good (nice movement by Monali T in the antara), but song overall is lethargic, takes too long to get going anywhere. -Sanjeev

Melodious enough; some corny rhyming. -Ashok

Nothing much stands out. -Pankaj

Music cleverly uses 2 different scales; guitar using a bhupali type while the melody starts on a different note suddenly. Saxophone adds to the love mood nicely. -Pradeep

A song needs to be greater than the sum of its parts. Unfortunately, neither of the parts here are even interacting with each other in any way. A bit of a waste of good talent, IMHO. -Meera
