“Kesariya has an underlying pop-rock genre, which is registered when the song starts with electric guitar tunes and a guitar-distortion segment in the chorus. I believe this is why the phrase ‘love storiyan’ fits with the idea and the groove,” says Neel Adhikari, Mumbai-based singer, song-writer and music-director, when asked to comment over the latest internet hot topic—Kesariya lyrics.

Netizens have expressed their disappointment over the song ‘Kesariya’ from Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt-starrer Brahmastra. While the song has gone viral on Instagram reels months before its release, the phrase ‘love storiyan’ in its lyrics has left the Indian Twitter and Instagram in splits.
