The original track, Sandese Aate Hai, composed by Anu Malik and sung by Roop Kumar Rathod and Sonu Nigam, remains iconic to this day. After the song's release, users have given their honest reactions to the new version. While some said that the new version is ‘acceptable’, many found it lacking when compared to the OG. However, many felt that the song had done justice to retaining the soul and essence of the original, while adding a contemporary touch to it.

Reactions to Ghar Kab Aaoge

Many users took to social media to comment on the new track. One user wrote, “Now this is what we call an acceptable remake. Sonu Nigam's verse is pure magic, man can still outshine everyone and proved yet again why he is the GOAT(I mean it's his own song but still) , even Arijit was good.” “Still getting goosebumps with this version. Timeless track,” said one. “Purani dino ki yaad dila di (This reminded me of the good old days),” noted another user.

“Song seems fine. Not as good as the original one. Honestly, don't think Vishal Mishra and Arijit Singh suit this song. Diljit is brilliant, and Sonu and Roop sir are the soul of this song,” said a second user. “Wah Anu Malik ji amazing work,” said a fan.

A comment read, “I'm just so happy they didn't ruined it with extra loud or unnecessary sounds and bits. Still, slightly disappointed with Arijit part, maybe it's the overexposure, but otherwise the song is absolutely fire.. special appreciation for Vishal and Diljit part, which has my heart.”
