So here is the new controversy for Kurbaan. The song, Ali Maula, sung by Salim Merchant, is found controversial (like everything else related to any religion in India) and as per report, Bombay High Court has issued a notice to the makers of the movie after a Muslim group filed a PIL claiming that the lyrics of one of its song was offensive to the community.
Now I do not know what La Fatah Illah means, although the words sound praying to the God. Also, I’m wondering how the song that says ‘Himmate ata karo, o madadgaar Maula, ali maula’ can be offensive to people.
Anyways, for now, the news is that Producer Karan Johar, Director Rensil De Silva and lead actors Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan, along with the lyricist for the song, Irfan Siddiqui, have been sent a notice by the court, to which they have to reply. Interestingly again, the reply has to be sent by 14th January, that is almost two months after the release of the movie. So for now, enjoy the movie.
Shukran Allah… [No pun/offence intended, the words say thank God]
