Reception

The song received favorable critical responses. A review on planetbollywood says, "Tere Bina is arguably Rahman's finest offering in Guru. Murtaza Khan and Qadir Khan's 'dham dara dham dara' refrains are addictive to the core and purely musical bliss! Reverting to a semi-qawwalli landscape in the backgrounds of this subtly beautiful piece, Rahman impresses tremendously with his vocal prowess, which only seems to improve throughout his career. Chinmayee's support is honorable, as she serves as a pleasant foil to Rahman's smooth rendition. Gulzar saab's lyrics are limited, but beautiful nonetheless. Now this is what is expected of a Ratnam-Rahman hook-up!".[2]

The song, along with its entire soundtrack album has proved a success, staying at the number one spot thirteen weeks after its release.[3]

Usage in media

An excerpt of the song is used in 2013 American 3D computer-animated sports comedy film Planes, produced by DisneyToon Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures.
