Another added: “She was flat; Both have no chemistry, Yash is more concerned with looking stoic and Kiara doesn’t cross the line. The song has no personality and is similar to many music videos. If only Vanga would film this and show how it’s done.”
it was flat
both have 0 chemistry
Yash is more concerned about looking stoic and Kiara is more concerned about not crossing the line.
the song has no personality, similar to many videosif Vanga would film this and show how it’s done

“It felt like Yash was trying to channel his inner Emraan Hashmi and the director was trying to recreate the atmosphere of Haal e Dil but they failed at all. To be honest, it’s an average song,” the user noted.
