'Loveyapa': Khushi Kapoor, Junaid Khan's peppy track gets mixed reviews
What's the story
The title track of the much-anticipated film Loveyapa, starring Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor, dropped on Friday.
While it hopes to strike a chord with Gen-Z youths as a quirky and upbeat number, it has seemingly missed the mark.
The song was posted on social media with the caption, "This is a perfect love song that will resonate with the Gen-Z youths! The love anthem of the year."

'Loveyapa' track: Unimpressive lyrics and forced choreography
The Loveyapa title track, sung by Nakash Aziz and Madhubanti Bagchi, features lead actors Kapoor and Khan in a quirky and vibrant setting.
The music video tries to showcase modern love through its lyrics and visuals. However, the song's weird, clunky lyrics like Babushona, kuchi-kuchii, kuchiyapa ho gaya, and saturated frames have drawn criticism.
One user commented on Instagram, "Omg is this a real song," while another wrote, "Cringe...first worst of 2025."
