The users reacted with different emotions, with some cracking jokes and others admiring the symphony of music. The song was taken from the film ‘Dhoom 2’ which showed actor Hrithik Roshan disguising multiple times. This act was used by the viewers who put up the actor’s portrayal of Queen Elizabeth on social media. One of the users called this pic of Hrithik as ‘Queen Camila’. The users took the film’s story seriously by continuing this gimmick as of them said, that “this is Hrithik Roshan gone to take Kohinoor back’. 

One of the users made a hint about Dhoom 4, saying, “I think Dhoom 4 movie promotion that here.” “Dhoom 5 featuring his highness,” joked another
