The unique part of the song is the "ish" that Darbar has put in at certain points in the song, very unique!". The singing, like all of the songs in the album is just mind-blowing. Shreya Ghoshal and Udit Narayan render this number. The song falls in the same genre as the previously mentioned song from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, a chhed-chhad song, but done with a lot of grace and maturity. Reviewing the soundtrack, Aniket Joshi said, "If you liked "Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyan" from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, I can pretty much guarantee you’ll like “Bairi Piya”. Shreya's rendition of "Ish" or "Eesh" in the song became the highlight of the character Parvati and was well appraised. Ghoshal became the first and till date is the only singer to win both Filmfare and National Film Awards for her debut song. "Bairi Piya" was an instant success and topped the charts. The song picturises the romance and the sweet relation between the two characters and their love for each other since their childhood.

The song is picturized on Parvati (Aishwarya Rai) and Devdas (Shah Rukh Khan). Her Higher Secondary Examinations were nearing that time and she would take her books and notebooks to the studio in order to study during downtime. She was sixteen when she recorded this first song for her as well as the film, with Udit Narayan. He was the star of the show,dignified even as he plunged an endoscopic tube down throats and looked at what lay inside.- Ghoshal sharing her experience of recording "Bairi Piya" Sach ka Samna (Star Plus) ended ten days ago,not with a whimper or a bang but with a bow from Rajeev Khandelwal. Our politicians and moral police,meanwhile,will have to find something else to complain about now. Not one of the participants evokes any strong feelings in us other than the desire to scold them,or switch channels. Unfortunately,the reality show is like another serial without engaging characters. The prospective daughters-in-law recommend themselves thats when theyre not squabbling amongst themselves. Their mothers are more formidable,already behaving as though they are mothers-in-law. As catches go,the men are quite fishy,sorry fetching pleasant blokes,but rather ineffectual as they play Dumb Charades. This is Ten Brides for Five Bridegrooms. That too at a magnificent old fort (what is it with grandeur in these times of austerity?). Youd think Kapoor was better suited to Perfect Bride because its all about loving your saas and bahus. Why cant people agree to disagree and leave it at that? Can she sustain it without falling back on her old melodramatic ruses? Well,it is a bit too dark the mortgage of daughters is over the top and has agitated at least one NGO,the Vidarbha Jan Andolan Samiti (VJAS) which has promptly asked for its removal. Bairi Piya is a brave attempt,a wonderfully shot serial with well-defined characters,a strong storyline,and tugging at our heartstrings in a way nothing she has made before,because this time its about a subject authentic and topical. Shes beside the farmers pleading with the maalik to give them time to repay him and he says fine then,give me your daughters instead.Įkta Kapoor and social realism? Now,thats a new one. Shes inside a kachcha dwelling where the feast consists of a glass of water as sister asks sister to imagine its an egg. Now,shes out in the open with green crops invaded by locusts (or other flying insects),alongside heartbroken farmers who torch their land to save the neighbouring villages harvest. Besides,most of the action occurs within the comfort zone of a palatial mansion. With Bandini (NDTV Imagine),she had already ventured into rural India but she had clung to Ronit Roy for comfort. Perhaps Kapoor needed familiar trappings as she embarks on a journey into the unknown.
