Many social media users expressed their admiration for the track, with one fan describing it as “pure emotion” and another admitting it made them want to revisit “K3G”.
The song’s visuals, featuring Rajkummar Rao and Janhvi Kapoor, capture a captivating chemistry against the backdrop of Jaipur’s picturesque landscapes.
