Reception
Singer Shashaa Tirupati who was highly appreciated and most talked about for her magical voice in the song as the lead female singer.

The song suppressed 20 million views in 6 months and was trending on radio stations around India in early 2017.

Times Of India wrote, Rasaali by Sathya Prakash and Shashaa Tirupati is yet another breezy melody. The specialty of this song is that the backgrounds carry south Indian classical music and efficiently blend into A. R. Rahman's composition. The construction of the charanam is in the tune of Thiruppugazh! The rhythm and guitar portions that come throughout the song keeps one foot-tapping. Sathya and Shashaa give it their all for this one, and Shashaa's rendition of Ninnukori is a highlight.[6][7]

Behindwoods.com wrote, Sathya Prakash and Shasha Tripathi have once again given their magical voice for Rahman. Rasaali starts as a feel good folk number. But Rahman is a composer who can give a saranam which is completely different from Pallavi. In that way, Rasali turns more classical in saranam. Rahman has used a popular Thirupugazh song 'Muthaitharu bhakthi thirunagai's raga and mixed it with modern instrumentations. The violin portion before the first Saranam was a pure bliss for carnatic music lovers. Violins along with the wonderful miruthangam take its listeners to a magical world. Saranam portion had lyrics written in same santham of a Thirupugazh which stresses the sound 'O' at its end. Thamarai's excellence in Tamil's ancient poetry was well visible in 'Rasaali' and her usage of pure Tamil words adds more classical touch to this well composed song. SONG RATING : 3.75/5.[8]
