BJP opposes denigration through film 'Shanghai'– Sambhaji Pawar, MLA

May 28, 2012

Issue of denigration in a film song from ‘Shanghai’

 

Sangli (Maharashtra) : The acclamation ‘Bharatmata ki Jai’, which kindles patriotism in citizens of this country, has been ridiculed in Diwakar Banerjee’s Hindi film titled ‘Shanghai’. This film will be released on 8th June. This denigrating song has hurt sentiments of millions of patriots; therefore, this film should not be released in any theatre. The above demand was made by Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) through a memorandum submitted to Mr. Sambhaji Pawar, the Vice Zonal President of BJP when he assured that BJP would oppose the denigration. Mr. Narendra Raykar and Aditya Raykar of HJS were present on the occasion.

The same memorandum has also been submitted to Mrs. Neeta Kelkar, the Zonal President of BJP’s women’s wing. She said that she would write to the Censor Baord for cancellation of the said song from the film.  

Workers of Sambhaji Brigade had claimed that pictures of Samartha Ramdas Swami and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj printed on the notebooks manufactured by Sanatan had hurt their so-called sentiments and tried to stop distribution of the note-books. This is very wrong and such tyrannical acts cannot hide the true history, said Mr. Sambhaji Pawar. He also said that he would inform his party workers from Pandharpur to look into the matter.

May 9, 2012

Song from ‘Shanghai’ ridicules ‘Bharatmata’

Mumbai : In a song ‘Bharatmata ki Jai…’ from Hindi film titled ‘Shanghai’ being released soon, there is denigration of ‘Bharatmata’. Many people watched this song on ‘You Tube’ and registered their protest. Mr. Vishal Dadlani, the singer of this song has been getting threats now. The lyrics of the song is ‘Sone ki chidiya, Dengu malaria, gud bhi hai, gobar bhi…Bharatmata ki Jai’….. Mr. Diwakar Banerjee, the director of this film has written this song.

Mr. Tejinder Bagga of Bharatsingh Kranti Sena (BKS) has given open challenge to Vishal on ‘Twitter’ website

 

‘The Director should remove the controversial song from the film; else it will be held up like Prashant Bhushan was taught a lesson; not only this but the film will not be allowed to be screened all over India’, warned Mr. Bagga. The singer of this song, Mr. Vishal has insulted ‘Bharatmata’ only for monetary considerations. Mr. Bagga has changed the lyrics of this song and written a new song with meaning as ‘Vishal ki mummy is suffering from peelia (jaundice) and AIDS; bolo Vishal ki mummy ki jai’; thus protesting against Vishal.

Cancel the certificate issued to film ‘Shanghai’ – HJS   

Mumbai : In the film ‘Shanghai’ directed by Diwakar Banerjee, the acclamation of ‘Bharatmata ki Jai’ that kindles spark of nationality among Indians, has been ridiculed; therefore, the certificate of release issued to film ‘Shanghai’ should be cancelled. The above demand has been made by Hindu Janajagruti Samiti (HJS) through a representation submitted to the Hindi Film Censor Board. HJS has also given a warning to the Censor Board to take the representation seriously; else it would intensify its agitation.

Complaint filed against 'Shanghai' team for denigrating 'Bharat Mata ki Jai'

May 9, 2012
 

Dibakar Banerjee’s film ‘Shanghai’ seems to be grabbing headlines for all the wrong reasons these days. After being in the news for the much-talked-about Kalki-Prosenjit lip lock and then being criticised for the lyrics of ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ song; now a legal case has been filed against the film.

A legal complaint has been filed against ‘Shanghai’ team and Central Board of Film Certification under Section 153/153A/153B/120B/34 of IPC & Contempt of National Honour regarding the controversial song ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’. Though, it is still not clear who has filed the case against the film team.

Earlier, the song, which stars Emraan Hashmi, had received flak from a political group Bhagat Singh Kranti Sena. The group had disapproved of the lyrics of the song and had threatened the filmmakers to remove the song from the film.

Bhagat Singh Kranti Sena seemed furious when the group tweeted: “We are giving open warning to Shanghai Directer to remove Bharat Mata Ki Jai song from the movie. Otherwise movie will be banned… We strongly condemn the lines Bharat Mata ki jai Sone ki Chidiya, Dengu, Maleria gud hai, Gobar hai Bharat Mata Ki jai (sic).”

‘Shanghai’ is a political thriller which revolves around the greed and corruption of politicians. The film also stars Kalki Koechlin, Abhay Deol and Prosenjit Chatterjee.

The objective of the Samiti is to create awareness about Hindu issues, to educate about Hindu Dharma, to unite Hindus globally, to achieve broader social interests instead of their narrow-minded power centric Hinduism, to stop denigration of Hindu Dharma (Righteousness) and to protect the Nation.

It is understood from the media the that Dibakar Banerjee's fillm "Shanghai's Lyrics of the song ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’ has hurt the Patriotic sentiments of Proud Indians. A tweet from Bhagat Singh Kranti Sena reads: “We are giving open warning to Shanghai Directer to remove Bharat Mata Ki Jai song from the movie. Otherwise movie will be banned..etc." . We strongly condemn the lines Bharat Mata ki jai Sone ki Chidiya, Dengu, Maleria gud hai, Gobar hai Bharat Mata Ki jai (sic).

We have appealed to you various times in the past for the similar denigrations in various movies but there has never been a positive response from your end. This time we are informing you in advance and hope to take into consideration, the National sentiments of millions of Indians and not to issue the censor certificate to this movie unless this denigrating song is deleted from the movie. I hope that you will honour our request this time. In case the censor board passes the film, the Samiti will organise large protests.. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter.

Sincerely,
Shivaji Vatkar

May 5, 2012

Shanghai's Bharat Mata Ki Jai courts trouble. Every Patriotic Hindu must oppose this film !
 

New Delhi : The controversial song Bharat Mata Ki Jai from Dibakar Bannerjee’s next film, Shanghai, has irked a group called Bhagat Singh Kranti Sena, whose president Tajinder Pal Singh tweeted: “We are giving open warning to Shanghai Directer to remove Bharat Mata Ki Jai song from the movie. Otherwise movie will be banned… We strongly condemn the lines Bharat Mata ki jai Sone ki Chidiya, Dengu, Maleria gud hai, Gobar hai Bharat Mata Ki jai (sic).”

However, the first trailer of Dibakar Banerjee's Shanghai is getting some rave reviews on Twitter. The film starring Abhay Deol and Emraan Hashmi, got thumbs up from the likes of Farhan Akhtar and Bipasha Basu.

The film is a political thriller reportedly based on the life of politicians and their greed.

Kalki Koechlin plays Shalini, an earnest and innocent student-political activist who wants to change the world.
