This song is favulous!!!! The entire song is so great...but I am not criticizing,but just wanted to tell what I personally felt - Its is that the lirycs,tune were absolutely awesome but only the preludes "Kala Re Kala" has spoiled the whole flavour of this song.Its just like a man singing some Classical song with English rock preludes-Puro Gaantar baaper sraddhyo hoegache!!
