Critical reception edit
Mihir Bhanage of The Times of India wrote "Ajay and Chinmayi Sripada sing this duet which has a breezy quality to it."[5] Sujan Sengupta of Daily News and Analysis wrote "Sairat Jhala Ji, uses more Marathi elements and hints at being influenced by the great Ilayaraja. The song is majestic, with Gogavale partnering with Chinmayi Sripada. In fact, the only song in the soundtrack that bears any resemblance to the run-of-the-mill commercial film music of today is Zingaat, in which Ajay-Atul have used modern elements such as synthesizers and electronic drums."[6]
