Bollywood is often praised for making progressive films in Indian cinema. At the same time, many commercial films still rely on outdated and problematic themes. A similar debate has now started around a newly released song from the film KD: The Devil.
The song titled Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke features Bollywood actress Nora Fatehi, who is widely known for performing in popular dance numbers.
The visuals follow the typical item song format with glamorous presentation and noticeable skin exposure. However, the main criticism from social media users is about the lyrics. Many viewers say the words are vulgar and carry a tone that disrespects women.
A particular line from the song has been widely circulated online. The lyrics go:
“Pahle uthale, ander wo dale, neeche ek boond na girae, khali kar ke nikale, mujh pe na girana mujhe lagta hai dar.”
The translated meaning of the line is:
“First lift it, put it inside, don’t drop even a single drop below, empty it fully and then pull out, don’t spill on me, I feel scared.”
Because of this wording, many people on social media have expressed anger and criticised the filmmakers. Some users have also questioned the decision of the performers and the film’s team to be part of a song with such lyrics.
KD: The Devil is promoted as an action drama starring Kannada actor Dhruva Sarja in the lead role. The song was released recently as part of the film’s promotional campaign. The extremely well approach taken by the makers has clearly backfired as people are criticising the same.
