When War 2 dropped its highly anticipated song “Aavan Javan,” fans expected fireworks. What they got instead was a flood of memes, criticism, and disappointment.
Starring Hrithik Roshan and Kiara Advani, the song was meant to be a sizzling dance number. Instead, viewers slammed it as a “TikTok move-fest” with “no chemistry,” comparing their on-screen vibe to that of a mama-bhanji (uncle-niece) duo.
This isn’t just about one song—it’s a symptom of a deeper issue in Bollywood: style over substance. Audiences today are sharp, vocal, and unforgiving. If something feels forced or disconnected, they won’t hesitate to call it out.
So, what went wrong?
For one, the choreography leaned too heavily on flashy visuals and viral dance trends. Secondly, the pairing—though individually popular—didn’t land emotionally. And third, fans are craving authenticity. Glitzy dance numbers can’t replace genuine storytelling anymore.
War 2 still has a chance to redeem itself, but “Aavan Javan” shows that even big banners can misread the room. With audiences now prioritizing connection over glamour, Bollywood needs to listen—or risk losing touch.
