Critical reception
123Telugu stated that "Seeti Maar is a peppy dance number which has especially been composed keeping Bunny’s[a] dancing capability in mind. The orchestration is very upbeat and Jaspreet Jazz brings a very western touch to this song with his voice."[9]
Other versions
The song was later released as a single in Malayalam with same name sung by Vipin Xavior and Ranjini Jose for the film's Malayalam version. The song is re-composed and re-mixed by Devi Sri Prasad for the soundtrack of 2021 Hindi film Radhe with lyrics by Shabbir Ahmed and sung by Kamaal Khan and Iulia Vantur.[10][11][12] However, unlike the Telugu version, the Hindi version was panned by critics, who criticized Salman Khan for copying Allu Arjun's steps from the original version, lacking originality, and making a mockery out of it.[13][14][15]
