The video begins with Vedha (Hrithik Roshan) and his gang celebrating with most of them holding bottles of alcohol in their hands. Hrithik dances merrily even as his character is evidently tipsy in a song that celebrates the ‘alcoholiya’ atmosphere around them. Alcoholiya has been written by Manoj Muntashir and composed by Vishal and Sheykhar. The composer duo has also lent their voice to the song, along with Snigdhajit Bhowmik and Ananya Chakraborty.

Fans praised the song’s funky lyrics and beats, and of course, Hrithik’s dance. One fan wrote, “No one can beat Hritick Roshan in dance. He is legend.” Another added, “Hrithik Roshan is irreplaceable. Bollywood will never get such a complete Superstar like Hrithik.” Many fans noted how Hrithik had acted well in the song too apart from his obvious dance moves. “Insane expressions and choreography. Nobody else other than Hrithik could be able to perform this dance so effortlessly,” wrote one fan.

On Saturday, the film’s producers launched the song in a nationwide launch event that they called the ‘first of its kind’. While Hrithik launched the song in Mumbai, press and fans witnessed the launch live on big screen in 14 other cities across India. These included Lucknow, Patna, Indore, Surat, Nagpur, Jalandhar, Chandigarh, Jodhpur, Noida, Nasik, Varanasi, Ranchi, Aurangabad, and Delhi
