It’s not just the lyrics that people have a problem, but the chorus itself. That’s because chorus tune is a direct rip-off from the song “Laree Chooti” by Pakistani band Call.
Once again, Bollywood copies another Pakistani song.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise but the irony is that “Laree Chooti” was featured in 2007’s Bollywood film Ek Chalis Ki Last Local starring Abhay Deol and Neha Dhupia.
In short, Bollywood is copying itself. Pakistani and Indian, for once, come together to collectively troll the song for its lack of originality.
Kesariya simply confirms the worrying trend in music where producers put 90% of their effort into a ten second section of the song that's constructed specifically for reels and then do the bare minimum for the rest of the song
