This time the anthem for many people, turned out to be disastrous but for some, it was very grooving.
Gol gappay wala aya song is far better than PSL6 anthem.#pslanthem2021

Idk what the fuss is abt? I loved the new #pslanthem2021 .It was bold & fresh! This is what stifles creativity in our country,we always want more of the same & not prepared to accept anything different.This bashing has to stop. We need a diversity of voices & ideas.Well done PSL! https://t.co/hYMuZqkx8D

Why do we always have to bash the #pslanthem 🤷🏻♂️? has it become a ritual 🤔? #GrooveMera has a nice stadium anthem vibe to it, 🕺🏻
