Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna’s Bandhu 2.0 gets trolled; fans slam ‘slopification of music’

The release of Bandhu 2.0 on June 17 from Cocktail 2, featuring Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon and Rashmika Mandanna, has triggered strong backlash online.

Its appeal still lies in its easy, beachside vibe, carefree energy and the natural sense of freedom it captured on screen, making it one of the most memorable Bollywood party tracks of its time. Bandhu 2.0 gets trolled hard as fans call it artificial and miss the original beachside magic. Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.
