== Reception == |

In its review, ''Indicine'' wrote, "It's a case of 'love at first listen' with 'Gerua', courtesy a soothing composition filled with a traditional setting (except for the opening 20 seconds that are misfit and strange). The flute in the beginning takes your heart away while Arijit, who has perfected the art of rendering romantic numbers, only ends up raising the bar with 'Gerua'. We bet this one will stay in your playlist for long."<ref name="Indicine">{{cite web|url=http://www.indicine.com/movies/bollywood/dilwale-music-review/|title=Dilwale music review|author=Indicine Team|accessdate=12 June 2016}}</ref> |
