Several fans were surprised to see the shoutout Kalank got from The Academy. The film wasn't a box office success in India and was panned critically.

Praising Alia and Shreya, one user commented, "Alia Bhatt is the best actress of India right now and Shreya Ghoshal is the greatest vocalist of all time. Thank you Academy for acknowledging the Desi Queens."

"DAMN! Kalank made it to the Academy," wrote another user.
