Soon after the song drew attention for the wrong reason, it was taken down from YouTube. Sung by Mangli, the song is written by Raqeen Alam, directed by Prem and composed by Arjun Janya.

Complaint seeks ban on song

Advocate Vineet Jindal has approached the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), seeking a ban and removal of the song, alleging that its lyrics are vulgar and obscene.

According to news agency ANI, a formal complaint has been filed before the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) requesting urgent legal action against the song. The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has also been marked in the complaint.

The complainant alleges that the song contains "highly vulgar, sexually suggestive, and obscene expressions." He also said that the dance sequence and picturization of the song are provocative and promote vulgarity.

According to the complaint, certain lyrics in the song are explicitly objectionable and inappropriate for public consumption, especially to minors. According to the reports, a separate criminal complaint has already been filed against the song with the Delhi Police Cyber Cell.

The controversy intensified as the song went viral, with netizens calling for a ban.
Singer Armaan Malik slammed the song, calling it a new low.

Like the Bollywood singer, several netizens have reacted strongly, urging strict action against the makers over the obscenity and the line of decency they believe has been crossed.

Another user wrote,"Nora Fatehi's new song has crossed all the limits of Vulgarity!!"

''Is there even a censor board in India? How are such vulgar, double-meaning songs allowed to go mainstream?'' another user wrote.

However, a section of Nora's fan base has said that there's no need to call her out, and instead, the singers, writers, and makers are responsible for the song and its lyrics. No official statement has been released by Nora and the makers yet.
