oh my god i am again reminded how brutally this magnificent song was ruined in move. it was definitely the WORST treatment given to an ARR song ever. ever ever. picturized it on Rishi and Abheshik, in car and in a snooker club. man (ROM) were you out of your mind doing that??? what on earth made you think it will look good. no director in his right senses would do that. that alone tells even talented directors like ROM cannot understand value of ARR song, and that too of a gem song like Rehna Tu, his best in many years. i always imagine how wonderful it would have been had he picturized it on Abhishek and Sonam. i always visualized it that way but he ruined the whole thing. Rehna Tu for me is the darkest period of ARR song picturization.
