Another wrote, “You sang really well but only a Bengali born & brought up in Bengal can distinguish minor mistakes in pronunciation made by non-Bengalis when they speak Bengali. There is room for improvement on that for you. Still, u did a great job being a complete alien to this language. All the best for your future endeavours.” One of the YouTube users wrote, “You are one of the very few singers across the country who has been able to bring this song alive by capturing its spirit and the carefree, the vivaciousness of the great Kishore Kumar. Keep it up!”
