While some also defended the ‘Love Storiya’ part saying that it justified the character and plot of the film and the times that it is set in.
How hard is it for people to understand that this song is from Shiva’s POV! He is a young DJ, based in modern India! It fits the character perfect! And that’s what’s important!! #Kesariya #Brahmastra https://t.co/EE253FQgsx

Honestly the first time you hear the song love storiya sounds a bit weird but after that it has become one of my favorite parts. It actually fits. People need to stop criticizing the song because they listened to it once and found something to nitpick #Kesariya #Brahmastra

Speaking about the track, singer Arijit Singh said, “Kesariya marks an important milestone as a romantic song in the Indian Film Industry. Pritam da’s tunes and Amitabh’s lyrics have been ethereal to begin with. I just did my part and I see Ranbir and Alia create absolute magic with the song on screen. Kesariya will stay in people’s hearts for sure.”

The romantic number has been sung in Hindi by none other than Arijit Singh, whose deep and soulful vocals breathe life into the melodious composition by the much-loved composer, instrumentalist, guitarist Pritam. With lyrics penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya, the team presents an ageless romantic track that puts a smile on your face as you see the lead cast, Ranbir-Alia, in the vibrant and colourful backdrop.
