Reacting to the trailer, one of the users wrote on X, "I think Kohl in the eyes and the Pak flag on the helmet is too subtle, i think every time a Pakistani character enters the shot, immediately Kun Faya Kun or maula mere maula should start playing in the background for more clarity."

"I think they straddle the line of being patriotic vs jingoistic... but it's probably for another audience than me," wrote another user.
