While a section of the Internet was thrilled with Varun and Janhvi's screen pairing, others not so much. Alia Bhatt was name-checked in the comments incessantly. "Looks like it was conceptualized as Dulhania 3 but changed it so people don't complain," wrote a user. Another one added, "Nope not accepting this film....where's Alia?" Another one added, "We want to see you and Alia together. It's been ages now." Another one wrote, "Why not Varun-Alia and the Dhulaniya series?" Another added, "Nope. Not without Alia." Another comment read, "We want you and Alia please. It has been way too long."
Meanwhile, some Instagram users cheered for the film's lead pair. "Woohhuuu again VD and JK. Nice." Another added, "Bawaal duo is back." A third comment read, "Excited for this." "Wow..... Waiting eagerly for this one," read another one. Inputs from another user, "Excited to see them once again." "Can't wait for another blockbuster," wrote another.
