The release of Tamannaah Bhatia’s much-anticipated dance number “Aaj Ki Raat” from the upcoming film Stree 2 on July 24 has ignited a spirited discussion among fans and moviegoers. The song, which showcases Bhatia’s energetic performance, has been met with mixed reactions, with fans drawing comparisons to Nora Fatehi’s popular track “Kamariya” from the original Stree.
In Stree 2, Bhatia’s performance in “Aaj Ki Raat” is visually striking, featuring a blend of traditional qawwali music and vibrant choreography. The song opens with Bhatia preparing for her stage act as co-stars Rajkummar Rao, Pankaj Tripathi, Aparshakti Khurrana, and Abhishek Banerjee watch in awe. As the song progresses, the energy picks up, with the entire ensemble joining in the dance.
The release of the song was celebrated on Instagram, where Tamannaah and Maddock Films shared it with the caption, “#AajKiRaat hogi tabaahi ki raat!” accompanied by emojis of a ghost, a blast, and heart-shaped eyes. The post received a positive reaction from some fans, including Fatima Sana Shaikh, who commented, “Hottie.”
Mixed Reactions: Comparisons to ‘Kamariya’
While many appreciated Bhatia’s performance, the song also faced criticism. Some fans and social media users were disappointed, comparing it unfavorably to Nora Fatehi’s “Kamariya,” which was a hit from the first Stree film. One user remarked, “Nothing compared to Kamariya from Stree,” while another criticized the song as a “disaster,” pointing to what they perceived as poor music, vocals, and choreography.
The critique extended to the song’s choreography, with some users expressing dissatisfaction. Comments such as “what’s wrong with the choreography these days from bad to terrible” reflected concerns about the overall presentation of the track.

On the flip side, several fans defended the song and praised Bhatia’s performance. Comments in support of the song included, “I’m the only one who likes this song. It’s not that bad,” and “She ate it!” referencing her strong performance. Other fans appreciated the song in the context of the film, with one writing, “Finally pata chal gaya ki Rudra bhaiya ki shama kaun hain 2018 ka mystery solved.”
