Alka is a wonderful singer and I like most of the songs sung by her (I said most 'cause I haven't heard all the songs sung by her...😆)

For this song I would give her 10 as she has sung it beautifully!!!

Great, just great!


She sings this great from the start to the finish. Great voice quality put in display by Alka Yagnik. Right when you hear her voice, you realize this is the voice of actresses in Bollywood for the past 20 years. If there is one voice that suits actresses the best in the past 20 years, it's Alka Yagniks without a doubt. I bet she has sung the most songs in these past 20 years for Actresses.

In this song, she was really good. Her high pitches, though not amazing were well done. Her singing was right on, the "aaahahaahaaa" was also very well done, it's tougher than it looks. Great expression and feeling added. Just great singing.

Overall, I think it was near flawless. Some things could've been done slightly better such as the high pitches, nonetheless they were still done very good. And paired with great voice quality, great expression/feeling, this was a great performance! This song was also pretty difficult, it had some difficult portions for sure. Though it was not that difficult either, lots of repetition, and a preferred tempo for a singer. She handled the difficult portions well and almost aced everything else.



Rating: 9/10

Great song! ANU MALIK all the way! I'll be quick coz I'm on from phone.

On the technical side, her aakaar could have been better - I thought was a bit staccato. And her high notes were shaky, almost shrill. This time round we really have some high pitch specialists and that will result in a mark penalty from me!

But that's just nitpicking. The singing was awesome and it is definitely one of her best songs.

8/9 from me! Let's see if she gets the extra 1 mark for romance...

Where has the Anu Malik who composed this song disappeared??!! 😕
Refugee was probably one of his best works and I guess also one of his best known works!!
Alkaji has done justice to the song! The feel of the song is conveyed so beautifully!! I dont think she sounds shrill anywhere in the song though this is sung at a pitch where many would falter!
Now for the problem areas ... there is this one alaap that is sung throughout the song, also as chorus ... now this cud've been sung much better by alkaji
Coming to the antara ...
hain safar hamara naya naya
kisi pal andhera jo gaya
alaap - chorus
hain safar hamara naya naya
kisi pal andhera jo gaya
alaap - alkaji --- here she is losing breath and the alaap is sounding forced
Again in the 2nd antara
zara theher ja mere humnawaz ... she is losing breath after this line as well ... this cudve been due to the emoting this line requires so this can be excused!!
Apart from this simply beautiful!
SO i wud give her 9/10
I personally love the choice of song ... so this is for Rani for suggesting the song 🤗
Edit: @rising: clicked on 10 by mistake 😳 pls consider my score as 9 and kindly discount the 10.

^ I actually suggested this song as I think it is one of her bests! Reading some of the other comments I do not regret choosing this song of hers. =] I'll come in with my ratings soon!

The song is nice, actually this is the first time I heard this song, so it was a little unfamiliar to me. And I simply pointed out at the suggestion as I just felt that when it comes to romantic no.s alkaji has most no. of popular romantic songs like lal dupatta, odhni, suraj hua madham, hai mera dil, Kitni bechain hoke tumse mili, Tip tip barsa paani, ghoongat ki aad se, etc. Actually she is like a queen of romantic songs.

Yes you are absolutely right. Alka ji is the queen of romantic songs. She has a whole wide variety of it. But out of all those you mentioned I really felt this song was the best for the round. Don't worry. I'm sure one of her other songs will be selected for the 2nd Romantic Round. I think out of all the songs, this one carried the most romantic touch in it if you know what I mean! Maybe you don't feel the same way because you haven't heard this song. I've grown up hearing it so yeah. 😆

^^ agree with CPR! This definitely is one of her best romantic songs, as a song as well as the singing!
