Reception

Box Office Collection India described the song as "very beautiful" and singer Palak Muchchal as "melodious".[2] It rated the song 4.3 out of 5 stars. In its review it rates the lyrics and singing as "Excellent" and the music as "Very Good".[2]

India Today wrote: "Kaun Tujhe is the female version of the typical Arijit Singh romantic song - which are essentially paeans for the lover, who is exclusive, one in a million. Once again, the song is a winner because of the simplicity of its composition, singing, lyrics, and arrangement, which is not intrusive. Amaal Mallik lets his music breathe and take its time to come to its own in this film and that is a great quality."[5]

Times of India wrote: "'Kaun Tujhe' tells the love story of MS Dhoni and his late girlfriend, Priyanka Jha. The song shows how the couple enjoyed simple joys of life such as a stroll in a market wherein Dhoni walked with a helmet on to avoid catching attention, highlighting the struggles of celebrities with the paparazzi. Dhoni's ladylove died in a tragic accident in 2002 when the successful innings of Indian skipper had just begun."[6]

Daily News and Analysis wrote: "The song 'Kaun Tujhe' has been penned by Manoj Muntashir and composed by Amaal Mallik. Palak Muchhal has lent her soulful voice to make it even more melodious. The song has been picturised very beautifully, portraying Sushant and Disha's light hearted romantic moments while the lyrics aptly form the backdrop of their love story."[7]

Emma Heesters made a beautiful cover of the song in English and posted it on 25 September 2020 on her You Tube channel. T-Series requested You Tube on 8 October to remove the cover for copyright reasons. It had then received already 3,5 mln views. YT removed it on the same day together with 2 other T-Series Hindi cinema covers in English by Emma (Tuhje Kitna Cahne Lage - 5mln views and Malang - 1,2 mln views; later on it removed the cover of Khayriat on the day of release). This is very unusual with respect to covers on YT (e.g. Sony took no comparable action to the astonishing cover of Emma of Shayad). The action of T-Series caused a general world wide protest by, inter alia, subscribers of the channel of Emma (then nearly 3 mln).

Awards

Palak Muchhal was honoured with the "Best Female Singer" award at the Star Screen Awards 2016.[8]
