Boycott Calls Won’t Work, Nor Will Vulgarity In Films
A director named Chandrapal Singh claims that the problem is not with a specific song but with a group of filmmakers who deliberately encourage vulgarity in Indian movies.
There are various facets to the recent controversy surrounding the song "Besharam Rang" from the movie Pathaan. The first is the profanity in Bollywood songs, the second is the call for a boycott due to religious reasons, and the third is the whataboutery by digging up old Bhojpuri songs of various actors who are now BJP lawmakers. Please allow me to look at these elements objectively.
Regarding vulgarity, the issue is not only with a specific song but also with a Bollywood clique that has made it a habit over the past few decades to make fun of our culture through music, dance, and other mediums. This particular "gang" of filmmakers is infamous for using provocative costumes or obscene music to grab attention through "hot" situations, all in the name of profit at the expense of declining film quality.
The younger generation, which the filmmakers assume lacks taste and awareness of societal concerns and just watches movies for their "hotness quotient," is the target audience for the majority of these films.Additionally, some directors enjoy themselves when a contentious song or scene that was leaked before the film generates attention, for better or worse. This is a low-cost way to increase box office receipts.

Second, a movie's fate is not only determined by a particular song or a demand for a boycott. A strong storyline and writing will almost certainly result in a successful box office performance for the movie. On the other hand, a multi-crore production that has a stupid or incomprehensible script does not ensure a hit.
Calls for a boycott on public forums or social media hardly ever affect a movie. No matter the hues and screams raised about someone's sentiment, audiences will still attend to the movies if they enjoy a certain movie or support a certain movie star. In any case, I thought Shahrukh Khan's answer to the controversy was admirably cool and composed.
