Coke Studio 9: Rahat's rendition of 'Afreen Afreen' draws criticism from fans

In the post, the famed musician claimed that while liking or disliking the content being produced is a matter of opinion, it is great that music is being talked about in general.

Xulfi also said that he's hopeful that collaborations keep taking place. "We are lucky to have music shows like Coke Studio and Nescafe Basement in our country," he added.

Not everyone is critical about the current season though. A lot of people on Twitter continue to express their love for perhaps Pakistan's most popular music show ever:

salman | 8 years ago | Reply I dont know why people are criticising Strings, it may possible that the current sesion so-far is not up to the expections but they also produced Session 8 which became the one of the most successful seasons of all time and earning the title of "Best of Coke Studio has ever Offered"

Aween | 8 years ago | Reply Exactly correct tweet by one person. Whining on everything. Is there anyone who can produce something better than #CokeStudio. Please be thankful of getting something for free and stop criticizing for God's sake.
