Pakistani actor Adnan Siddiqui also criticised the Indian film industry, saying that he hopes Bollywood doesn't "slaughter this masterpiece as it does to others in the garb of remaking".

Another person expressed her anger by asking if Bollywood does not have any other singer except Singh.

Another said that Bollywood does not have any shame in remaking and "butchering" a Pakistani hit.

Many others called Bollywood cheaters for always remaking Pakistani songs. Some of them said that they will copy Pakistan's national anthem one day as well.
