People wanted to know who made it:

People were sharing their thoughts:

People wanted to government to look into it:

People were calling it a joke:

People were focused on different details:

People wanted it to be removed asap!

Some found it resembling uncle Sargam more than Iqbal:

People were disappointed:

People were calling it ‘artistic revenge’

People were sharing how this was a common man’s love, not to be compared with artists:

People couldn’t believe it was real:

Phew!

People wanted others to be kind:

People had their own interpretations of art, it is subjective after all!

And while some were furious, others turned it into a meme fest!

Jawab-e-Shikwa?

Posture is important:

Yeah:

People had comparisons ready!
