The one singing in high pitch is Vijay, the one singing in smooth and silky voice is Sukhwinder. I can understand, since he sounds like Sukhwinder I also always thought it was Sukhwinder until I realized that it wasn't. > In places he sounds like ARR too which made me realize that perhaps ARR > himself would've been a great choice to sing this song. > > - Well, ARR is the best to sing every song, so no point really undermining > the actual singers. > > Also in places the song gives the feeling of Pakistani pop songs. > > - Hmm.

Yes, even if you just compare it to "Judai" from Jannat (by Kamran Ahmed) or "Tera mera rishta" and "To phir ao" from Awarapan (by Mustafa Zahid) you will get what I mean. > Blue Theme - An enjoyable song overall.

Yes I do think it lived up to the expectations I had in the light of film and it's theme.
