A netizen said: “Pasoori Ka bara garakh KR gy.”
Ali and Shae’s ‘Pasoori’ revolves around themes of separation and heartbreak, the visuals of the song picturised on Kartik Aaryan and Kiara Advani from the upcoming film take a lighter route and is showcased as another romantic track in the movie.
‘Pasoori’, which was released last year, went viral on the Internet leading to countless reels using the song irrespective of the subject of the reel, – from food vlogging to adventure sports, art tutorials and travel vlogs While the original Pakistani song was catchy with an innovative orchestration, the Indian counterpart softens the blow as it makes radical changes in the programming.
Satyaprem Ki Katha, produced by NGE and Namah Pictures, will hit the theatres June 29 (Thursday).
