==Music==
Farhan and the trio [[Jam session|jammed]] together and decided to go on with a [[Funk music|Funky]]-[[Techno music|Techno]] [[Hip hop music|hip-hop]] number. The song had a laid back groove, as it had to suit the character of [[Hrithik Roshan]], the protagonist of the film, who's lazy and aimless.<ref name=yt>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTDl-vL2wwM |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211215/yTDl-vL2wwM |archive-date=2021-12-15 |url-status=live|title=The Making of Main Aisa Khon Hoon – Part 1 – Lakhsya |via=YouTube |date=29 July 2009 |accessdate=29 June 2011}}{{cbignore}}</ref>

==Reception==
The song was lauded by critics and listeners alike. ''[[Rediff]]'' music review noted,"the superbly arranged hip-hop tune is one hell of a catchy number".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2004/apr/26lakshya.htm |title='Lakshya' needs more punch |publisher=Rediff.com |accessdate=29 June 2011}}</ref> The [[Bollywood Hungama]] in its year end music report, described the song as "an experiment succeeding big time".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/features/2004/12/29/490/index.html |title=2004: A year of melody, rock and jazz |publisher=Bollywoodhungama.com |date=29 December 2004 |accessdate=29 June 2011}}</ref>

[[Prabhu Deva]], the choreographer of the song, said that "the song's beat was too good, and inspired him to do something different".<ref name=yt/>

==Choreography==
The song is noted for the choreography of Deva, which earned him his second [[National Film Award for Best Choreography]] after ''[[Minsaara Kanavu]]''. The song features Roshan, who plays a typical capricorn, not a very active, out-there kind of person, and is shot in a [[Surrealism|surreal]] environment.
The director of the film, [[Farhan Akhtar]], was quoted saying "Main Aisa Kyon Hoon", the song with Prabhu Deva who also choreographed the dance sequences in the film, was supposed to be set in a very surreal environment. We wanted someone who could do some surrealistic moves. We also wanted to make it a challenge for Hrithik Roshan so he could have some fun.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2004/apr/08farhan.htm |title=Lakshya is about Hrithik, about finding yourself |publisher=Rediff.com |accessdate=29 June 2011}}</ref>
