Critical reviews

Koimoi on reviewing the music of the soundtrack wrote that "Tu Hai makes up for a soothing hear thanks to the vocals of A R Rahman and Sanah Moidutty. It is a slow-paced song with musical arrangements pulled off quite intelligently. There is a sense of calm that this track provides to its listener and also since the film is a period drama, the lyrics are penned in pure Hindi which is quite unique considering we live in the times of 'Pyaar Ki Maa Ki Puja Karni Hai'. Tu Hai will charm you if you have a penchant for Rahman's slow numbers." [7]

The Times of India stated that "Tu Hai is a classic Rahman number; it is soft, melodious, touches your heart with a simple tune and has the breeziness of a romantic track. Sanah scores in this minimalistic number, which lets the lyrics take center stage. [8] Filmfare wrote that "Tu hai is a meatier, soulful song that grips you from the word go." [9]

The Hindu wrote that "But for the fact that Hrithik Roshan, with a unicorn-style single horn in his turban, doesn't sound anything like A.R. Rahman (who is singing this song), this is a lovely song. It has that typically Rahman flow that starts with an unusual opening, and goes on to be even more free-flowing". [10]
