The melodious tune of this number depicts a variety of emotions. Here's our review.
Song
Words by Irshad Kamil make this track deep
Composed by AR Rahman, the song has been crooned by Arijit Singh and Shashaa Tirupati. The mesmerizing voice of Singh gives a feel-good after effect. Even Tirupati's vocals sit right in the song. Words by Irshad Kamil lend a deep meaning to this romantic ballad. If you listen to it carefully, you will notice a clever usage of the sarod, bass guitar, and flute.
Video
The visuals have an element of happiness and sorrow
The 2:37-minute-long track begins with Sara Ali Khan and Dhanush's wedding. It also gives a background of Khan narrating her love story to Dhanush on a train. You will see Kumar walking in a circus kind of a setup with flames coming from his body. The number also shows Dhanush's and Khan's married life, along with the chemistry between Kumar and Khan.

Resemblance
It gives the vibe of 'Main Phir Bhi Tumko Chaahunga'
Do you remember the track from Half Girlfriend, Main Phir Bhi Tumko Chaahunga? That was also sung by Singh and Tirupati and was an intense number. It rode high on emotions, too. Manoj Muntashir's words and Mithoon's composition still give us goosebumps. No wonder it has crossed 76 crore views on YouTube. Now, Rait Zara Si seems to be an extension of that melody.
Conclusion
Visuals of the track create a curiosity about the trio
The track also explores the closeness between Dhanush-Khan-Kumar. So you might get confused about the context of their relationships. It will get clear only after the film's release. It is reportedly a cross-cultural story of three different people, set in Madurai and Bihar. The Aanand L Rai-directorial will release on Disney+ Hotstar on December 24. Verdict: Song and visuals get 4 and 3.5/5, respectively.
