Background

The song is composed by Sharib Sabri and Toshi Sabri.[2] In the composition, the duo infused piano notes and sound of rainfall with minimal music arrangements.[3] Lead actor of the film, Sachiin J Joshi assisted music director Sharib–Toshi in developing the track. Director of the film, Kaizad Gustad said; "[Joshi] has an amazing sense of rhythm and has contributed significantly to the music of the film".[4] The song appears four times in the soundtrack album of the film. The original version was sung by Arijit Singh while the female version was rendered by Shreya Ghoshal and it includes two remixes of the male version. British Asian music producer Rishi Rich re-mixed the song, fusing traditional Bollywood sounds with the vocals of Singh, along with the voice of British reggae vocalist Maxi Priest. Mixed by Rich, a higher tempo on a club mix version of the song was released as part of the soundtrack.[5]

Critical reception

Writing from Rediff.com, Joginder Tuteja calling the song "terrific", appraised the vocals by Arijit Singh, lyrics by Turaz and Azeem Shirazi, and the "beautiful romantic" composition by Sharib–Toshi. Tutejer further stated; "The singer does tremendously well in this love song [...] It's so good that it's been repeated three more times in the album".[11]

Rajiv Vijayakar of Bollywood Hungama, calling it "a killer of a song", described Singh's rendition in the song as "transparent soulfulness". He further mentioned; "The lyrics move from eulogy of the beloved to acceptance and later angst. The composition seems to have wandered in straight from a Mukesh Bhatt-Mahesh Bhatt film in its haunting intensity.[12]

Female version

Writing from Rediff.com, Joginder Tuteja stated that version is "good enough to firmly establish the placement of this song as one of the best in recent months".[11]

Rajiv Vijayakar of Bollywood Hungama, calling the version "more accomplished" and "more placid in vocals and orchestration", felt that Ghoshal's "classical nuances and her artistry shines in the tiny inflections in her renditions, taking the song to another dimension".[12]
