Taking to social media on July 22, Amaal thanked listeners for the response to the song and urged audiences to offer it time before forming an opinion. “Thanks for such a superb response to a melody that is the closest to my heart. Every song needs time to breathe, be taken into the system after which reach and live in the guts of the audience,” he wrote.

In the identical note, the composer claimed that rival groups were attempting to break the film’s prospects. “There is a big paid PR being run by rival elements of the film industry that don’t desire the film or soundtrack to do well,” he alleged.
Amaal added that such efforts wouldn’t affect the audience’s reference to the music. Addressing those he accused of running the campaign, he wrote, “Please save your funds to your next movies, who knows what happens tomorrow. It’s possible you’ll waste all of your money to attack my song and my movie but for those who don’t avoid wasting of it, you will not have the opportunity to avoid wasting your individual movies.”
Amaal Mallik addresses comparisons with the unique soundtrack
The composer also weighed in on the comparisons between Awarapan 2 and the music of the 2007 film Awarapan, which has long enjoyed cult status amongst fans.
Explaining the background of the unique album, Amaal said the songs in the primary film were adaptations of independent tracks by artists including Mustafa Zahid, Rafaqat Ali Khan and Annie, which were recreated by Pritam for the film. “In order that ends the talk of it being an original album, it’s well adapted by Pritam and that is the whole truth,” he wrote.
He also acknowledged the legacy of the unique artists, saying, “We won’t do what Mustafa Zahid did, and we do not even wish to the touch his legacy and spoil it.”
“Music is to be heard, felt and eventually accepted or rejected”
Amaal concluded his note by urging listeners to guage the music by itself merits fairly than comparing it with the unique soundtrack: “Before you judge mine or any musician’s work, ek baar aankh bandh karke woh insaan ka gaana dil se suno.”
He further added, “Music is to be heard, felt and eventually accepted or rejected, not judged. But public ko haq hai judge karne ka, unka opinion sar aankhon par.”
