An Instagram user commented, “Blockbuster movie can’t wait sir.” “This is the perfect example of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi,” said another fan.

Several people didn’t like it

However, many people didn’t like it. A person wrote, “He looks like Ram, she looks like Isha.” A comment read, “Both are looking like brother sister… in the song also romance didn’t work out.. casting is a big flop I guess.” Another person said, “I wish you had kept him clean-shaven. And hair a bit shorter,” suggested another person. “Ranveer could have been made to look softer and chocolate boy,” wrote an Instagram user. “Ranveer more gives a villain vibe than a hero here,” said a person. Another person called it ‘highly disappointing’.
