Following the release of 'Dhurandhar' trailer, social media users criticised the use of Madhubala's qawwali 'Na Toh Karvan Ki Talaash Hai', highlighting Bollywood's "lack of originality". Filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh stepped in, defending the film he said, "No one claimed it's original. In fact, if anything...it's good that they got a song from 'Barsaat Ki Raat' out there."
