About Jaanam

Jaanam starts with Vicky and Triptii's characters reaching their getaway villa for a few days. They kiss on the staircase, make suggestive expressions in bed, and also hit the swimming pool. If that was not enough, they also start making out in the shower, and fail to have a proper dinner together, ruining the cake to kiss each other passionately. The song is composed, sung, and penned by Vishal Mishra. Remo D’souza has choreographed the video.

Reactions to Jaanam

Reacting to the song, a user wrote, “It’s actually cringe.” A second user commented, “I don't understand what motivated actors like Triptii and Vicky to get into this crap! They are good actors.”

Another user criticized the styling of Triptii and wrote, “She [Triptii] was so classy and dignified in her last film. Why this trashy styling? All this skin show doesn’t work for her.

This is so cringe.” “Vicky and Triptii deserve better,” read another comment.
