The song ‘Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke’ has faced allegations of obscenity and vulgarity, leading to the National Commission for Women (NCW) summoning Sanjay Dutt. The NCW’s action comes in response to media reports that raised concerns about the song’s lyrics and choreography.
The NCW has stated that the content appears to be sexually suggestive and objectionable. The individuals summoned, including Dutt, are required to appear before the NCW on March 24, 2026, along with relevant documents.
In a significant move, the Hindi version of the song was removed from YouTube following widespread criticism. The song is part of the upcoming Kannada film ‘KD: The Devil’, directed by Prem and starring Dhruv Sarja.
Nora Fatehi, who recorded the Kannada version of the song three years ago, expressed her confusion regarding the controversy, stating, “I don’t understand the Kannada language, in which the original song, Sarse Ninna, is composed.”
Raqueeb Alam, who was involved in the song’s production, warned the makers that the Hindi lyrics were vulgar, indicating that the concerns were raised prior to the NCW’s involvement.
The Hindi version of the song was released earlier in March 2026, and the NCW has taken suo motu cognizance of the allegations. The commission emphasized that failure to appear may invite appropriate action as per law.
Observers note that the NCW’s involvement highlights ongoing issues within the Indian film industry regarding the portrayal of women and the standards of decency in media content.
As the hearing date approaches, it remains to be seen how the summoned individuals will respond to the NCW’s allegations and what actions may follow. The film’s release is scheduled for March 30, 2026, adding urgency to the situation.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding the potential consequences for the individuals involved if they fail to comply with the NCW’s summons.
