Vishal Bhardwaj films always bring a catchy item song and fans expected the same from O’Romeo with “Aashiqon Ki Colony”. The song featuring Disha Patani and Shahid Kapoor had already created strong buzz after a teaser dropped.
The full track released today and it quickly became the main topic of discussion online. Viewers are talking about its visuals music and overall feel. The excitement around the release remains high across social media.
Many fans love how Disha Patani and Shahid Kapoor look in the video. The scenic backdrop also adds to the appeal. People have also praised the lyrics written by Gulzar which feel poetic and smooth.
However some fans feel that the signature Vishal Bhardwaj touch is missing. They say the beats and instruments that usually define his item numbers are not present in “Aashiqon Ki Colony”.
The lighting direction and the style Bhardwaj is known for also feel toned down. Because of this the song does not stand out in the way many expected. It lacks the bold energy his tracks often carry.
Bhardwaj and Gulzar earlier delivered iconic numbers like “Namak” “Beedi” and “Oye Boy Charlie”. These songs are still loved for their rhythm and unique vibe even after so many years.
Those tracks stood out because of their lyrics music and direction. In comparison “Aashiqon Ki Colony” feels more simple. Fans believe it could have belonged to any other film as well.
While the song is not bad many feel it does not match Bhardwaj’s own high standards. For some it feels like a rare letdown. The debate now is whether it will grow on listeners over time.
