Reception
Amjad Sabri the son of Ghulam Farid Sabri said, "I really like how the music was arranged. Atif didn't do badly. I wish he could have worked on his diction a little more, as long as the essence remains untouched, there is no harm." He further said, "it was an honest accolade to his father and uncle".[13] British High Commissioner Christian Turner took to Twitter that his friend suggested him "Tajdar-e-Haram" by Atif Aslam and he thoroughly enjoyed it.
