The recently released song Akhiyaan De Kol from Kriti Sanon 's upcoming Netflix film Do Patti has sparked controversy. The track is a rehashed version of the folk classic originally sung by the late Pakistani legend Reshma. Pakistani actor Adnan Siddiqui lambasted the makers for remaking the song, calling it a "sordid ripoff".

He used X, formerly known as Twitter, to make his point. He wrote a post along with a picture of Kriti from the song.
“Imitation can be flattering, but not when it means tearing apart a classic by a legend. Please show some respect for Reshma jee and the legacy she left behind. Her music deserves to be treated with the dignity it commands, not reduced to just another sordid ripoff,” he wrote.
The release of Akhiyaan De Kol has ignited a heated debate. The song's recreation of Reshma's iconic folk ballad has been met with widespread criticism. One person wrote on Adnan’s post, “Thank you for saying this.
What an obscene way to honour the legend that Reshma ji is. Thank you.” Another user wrote, “Music will never be heard by those who are not dancing”, with one mentioning, “Then please don’t sell your songs to Indian labels or specify in your contracts that these songs will not be played in Indian movies”.
