The latest dance number of actor and dancer Nora Fatehi, Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke, which includes veteran actor Sanjay Dutt, has been taken down from YouTube following widespread criticism from viewers about the lyrics and dance steps of the song.
The song, which is part of the upcoming movie KD: The Devil, created quite a buzz shortly after its release. Fans of Nora Fatehi were eager to watch the high-energy dance number, which included Nora’s signature dance style and visually appealing dance steps.
However, the buzz around the song’s release was short-lived, as many social media users criticized the song, stating that it is “vulgar” and “inappropriate.”
Song Faces Online Backlash
Shortly after the release of the song, a segment of the netizens began expressing dissatisfaction with the content of the lyrics as well as the dance sequences in the music video.
Criticism of the content of the song spread quickly across the social media platforms, with the netizens discussing the suitability of the presentation of the song. Some of the netizens were of the opinion that the content of the lyrics was too provocative, while others believed that the content of the song was simply a typical Bollywood dance number aimed at entertaining the viewers.
Despite the mixed reactions, the controversy surrounding the content of the song continued to spread quickly across the social media platforms, reaching the attention of the public.
Video Removed From YouTube
As per reports, the music video remained live on YouTube until March 16, after which it was suddenly deleted from the platform. The next day, users who tried to view the music video by clicking on its original link were shown a message that said “video unavailable.”
This message suggested that the music video may have been made private or deleted from public viewing. However, it is still not clear why this action was taken against the music video. It may be due to the recent backlash against it.
No statement from the makers and music label regarding this action has been made yet.
Part of the Film KD: The Devil
The controversial track is a part of the soundtrack of the upcoming action movie KD: The Devil, which will star Sanjay Dutt and will have a special dance appearance by Nora Fatehi.
The movie has already been in the news due to its star cast and high production values. The addition of a dance track featuring Nora Fatehi was also expected to give a boost to the promotional campaign for the movie.
Nora Fatehi is known for delivering dance tracks that become a huge success in Bollywood films and also go viral across various social media platforms. It is in this capacity that Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke was initially expected to be a success.
Nora Fatehi’s Popular Dance Tracks
Nora Fatehi has gained a great reputation in recent years as one of the most popular dancers in Bollywood films. Her previous dance songs have topped music charts and received millions of views online.
Nora’s high-energy dance and unique dance style have made her a favorite among Bollywood dance music lovers. Her songs have started to trend online shortly after release.
Because of this popularity, the sudden removal of the new song has surprised many fans, who have been eagerly sharing this dance performance online.
Debate Over Song Content
The controversy surrounding the song has also revived the debate about the standards in the content of Bollywood music videos.
While some people may think that the dance numbers in movies should be within certain parameters, others may think that this is a matter of personal opinion and that creative freedom should not be curtailed.
While this is not the first time that songs in movies have been criticized for certain reasons, it is still not clear whether the song will be uploaded to YouTube in an edited version or whether the filmmakers will release an edited version to address this criticism.
While the debate continues in the online space, this also points to how easily public opinion in the digital space can affect the promotion of entertainment content.
