One X user tweeted, " Felt happy for the song but look at them how can they do that..the balancing in the water is no joke.”
“Taal se taal is perfect for any cultural event… arr truly is the face of Indian music,” read another comment.
However, some questioned the video's authenticity. A user wrote, "This is a fake video, the Indian music has been added to it. It is edited not original."
