The release of the song “Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke” has quickly ignited controversy due to its suggestive lyrics and provocative choreography. Featuring prominent actors Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt, the song has faced backlash from social media users since its release two days ago. In response to ongoing criticism, an advocate has formally requested that the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) impose a ban on the track, citing concerns about its impact on minors.
Advocate Vineet Jindal has lodged a complaint with both the CBFC and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, urging for immediate action against “Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke.” The complaint challenges the song’s explicit content, labeling it as vulgar and sexually suggestive, a characterization that raises alarm regarding its influence on public decency.
Critical of various aspects of the song, the complainant highlights its lyrics as explicitly inappropriate for a broad audience, particularly children. Jindal also names key contributors such as lyricist Raqeeb Alam, director Prem, composer Arjun Janya, and singer Mangli, alleging that their involvement further propagates such content.
Legal ramifications are also being pursued, with the complainant arguing that the distribution of the song could violate penal sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, and the Information Technology Act, 2000. A criminal complaint regarding the song has already been submitted to the Cyber Cell of the Delhi Police.
Interestingly, as the dispute escalates, the lyrical video for “Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke” has been removed from YouTube. The song was initially made available in multiple languages, including Hindi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada, through Anand Audio, the film’s music partner. However, by Wednesday, only a promo without the full lyrics remains accessible in Hindi.
“Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke” is featured in the upcoming pan-Indian Kannada film “KD: The Devil,” directed by Prems. The visual representation of the song emphasizes suggestive elements, with its opening verse initially implying sexual themes before revealing a more innocuous interpretation related to beverages. Critics are particularly concerned that the choreography objectifies the female dancer and pushes boundaries of decency.
The film “KD: The Devil,” an action crime narrative set in the 1970s, stars Dhruva Sarja alongside Dutt, Shilpa Shetty, and Reeshma Nanaiah. The film’s release is anticipated in theaters on April 30, further fueling discussions around its content and the implications of its promotional material.
