Aaja
Nachle,
Madhuri"s
much
hyped
comeback
film
had
gotten
itself
embroiled
into
a
'lyrical
controversy" just
hours
after
its
release
in
the
state
of
Uttar
Pradesh.
The
state
residents
were
outraged
stating
that
the
filmmakers
should
either
take
the
objectionable
lyrics
off
the
film,
or
else
they
will
take
the
film
off
the
theatres.
The
lines,
which
they
found
objectionable
featuring
in
the
title
track
of
the
film
goes
as
'Bazaar
Mein
Machi
Hai
Maar
hai,
Bole
Mochi
Bhi
Khud
Ko
Sunar
hai".
These
reportedly
had
offended
some
of
the
Dalit
organizations.
Mayawati,
the
Chief
Minister
of
UP
had
even
shot
off
a
letter
to
the
Prime
Minister,
Manmohan
Singh
in
this
regard.
The
impact
of
the
ban
was
so
much
that
Punjab
had
decided
to
ban
the
movie
today.
In
order
to
avoid
any
further
bans
and
troubles,
Yash
Raj
Films
acted
on
it
immediately
and
deleted
the
two
objectionable
songs.
The
film"s
director
Anil
Mehta
said
that
they
had
made
the
film
in
good
faith
and
something,
which
would
not
hurt
any
section
of
the
society.
He
also
apologized
saying
that
if
the
film
has
hurt
the
sentiments
of
anyone,
they
are
ready
to
delete
the
said
lines.
Mr.
Yash
Chopra
Chairman
Yash
Raj
Films
said
"It
was
not
our
intention
to
hurt
the
feelings
of
any
individual
or
community
of
our
great
nation.
If
we
have
inadvertently
hurt
the
sentiments
of
anybody
I
apologise
for
the
same
and
have
taken
immediate
remedial
action
by
deleting
the
line
from
the
prints
of
Aaja
Nachle
from
all
over
the
country.
This
line
has
been
deleted
in
all
the
theatres
today.
Yash
Raj
Films
makes
family
oriented
films
and
propagates
Indian
culture
through
them
and
would
never
do
anything
that
is
detrimental
to
the
sentiments
of
our
people."
As
they
say,
all"s
well
that
ends
well,
so
what
if
the
end
contains
two
lines
lesser
than
the
original!
