While a few praised Shetty, many Khiladi fans are missing Akshay Kumar. Some people have also said that the new version has "ruined the original song" completely. After the track was released, several users took to social media to express disappointment and criticised the rendition. "They've completely ruined this iconic song man. #ChurakeDilMera was arguably the most iconic song of Akshay Kumar & Kumar Sanu," wrote one user. Another fan said, "No one can match Akshay Kumar's charm and Kumar Sanu's voice." Read more on Hungama 2 here.
"Shouldn't have remixed the song. Clearing right now...i said 'Song' nothing about the video," a third posted. One person called it a "cheap copy" while some even said "farewell" to the old song.
