Know why ‘Boycott Pathaan’ Trends on Twitter | Bollywood

Pathaan, one of the most awaited movies for the year 2023, has already created a huge controversy among the Indian audience. Its song, Besharam Rang, which was released on December 12th, 2022, is the trending controversial affair on Twitter. 

A number of people appreciated the performance of Shahrukh Khan  in the trailer and the song, but a few netizens started the trend to ‘Boycott Pathaan’, which is the latest trend and talk of the town on twitter and many such digital platforms.

What is the Controversy about the Pathaan Movie?

Pathaan is all set to hit theaters on January 25th, 2023. Shahrukh Khan being the lead along with Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, this Siddharth Anand directed movie has multiple celebrities in it. Salman Khan is expected to be seen in a cameo role in this movie.

Right after a week of Besharam Rang song release, it has created a dispute among its viewers as the Deepika Padukone in this song is seen wearing a two-piece swimming outfit of Saffron-coloured and Shahrukh khan holding her from her back.

This color, also known as Bhagwa in Indian culture, is considered as the most sacred color in Hinduism. Thus people are taking it as an insult of their emotions towards the Indian Tradition.

The use of Bhagwa Color in the Song

The Indians are very much emotional towards their sentiments for Indian culture and tradition. And the Besharam Rang song’s controversy is a result of these feelings, as multiple people believe that the saffron-colored two piece bikini outfit worn by Deepika Padukone and the way Shahrukh Khan has holded her from behind is an insult to the purity of the Indian Bhagwa. This led to the trend of ‘Boycott Pathaan’ on Twitter.

Hindus Feel that their Sentiments are Hurt

For Hindus, Bhagwa is the most sacred color and is the color of sunset and fire, which are considered as symbols of sacrifice and brightness. This color is worn by Hindu saints and they follow spiritual practices after wearing this colored cloth.

Thus, Hindus felt that this choice is targeting to hurt their sentiments and people go against the song and along with that asked to boycott Pathaan movie on Twitter.

People feel that bollywood today lacks in detailing while making a movie, and the team also is not familiar with Indian culture. Many people even compared Bollywood with South Indian Industries, and especially Kantara Movie, where they have shown respect towards Indian culture and tradition.

People are being against Shahrukh Khan 

People are not exactly against Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone as actors, but specifically against the use of Saffron Two-piece bikini that is used in the movie Pathaan song Besharam Rang, as they believe this color to be a symbol of purity and the movie makers have intentionally targeted the Hindu Culture.

Controversy: A trending Technique of promotion

Not everybody is against this movie and Beshram Rang, many believe that the movie makers have played smart. They used this strategy to get the attention of most people around the world, and did a fantabulous promotion method. 

As the movie is about to be released on January 25th, 2023, the makers played a smart move by releasing the controversial song Besharam Rang in December 12th, 2022, which as being the talk of the town will keep the excitement for the movie at a high-pace and will help in increasing the number of viewers in theaters.
