People, however, agreed with Dr. Shireen Mazari and sarcastically called it a human right violation. The followers also failed to understand why the debut of Ahad Raza Mir’s was saved for the final episode of the season.
‘Ko Ko Korina’ is a popular song that was sung by Pakistan’s great musician Ahmed Rushdi and has been an ever-green song in the musical history of Pakistan.
The Coke Studio 11 version that saw the debut of Zohaib Kazi and Ali Hamza did not resonate well with the audience. The season of nine episodes on social media garnered a negative response from the listeners.
The duo is highly criticized for pulling the bar of the Coke Studio glaringly low in this season. The fans and followers demand the return of the Rohail Hyatt, who directed the early seasons of the show.

Despite the inclusion of big names like Abrar-ul-Haq, Momina Mustehsan, Jawad Ahmed, Humaira Arshad, Ali Sethi this year’s version was not impressive.
