Amar Kaushik who directed bollywood blockbuster movie Stree 2 has been facing criticism for the song ‘Aaj Ki Raat’ as the song depicts feminist undertone.
However, bollywood item songs are most of time criticized. On being criticized Kaushik shares his opinion by saying, “There’s no denying that people come to theatres to watch item songs. However, I wanted to ensure it served the storyline without compromising on quality or respectfulness. Logon ko lagta hai item song hai toh gande bol hi hone chahiye but I was clear that while the song should be entertaining and fit the film, it should have meaningful lyrics.”
“My brief was very clear, let’s not go below the belt because that’s not what the film is. Kuch cheezo mein film politically correct honi chahiye. Aap bolo aap jo bolna chahte ho aur aadaein bhi honi chahiye lekin jab aap lyrics suno toh lage ki ‘yeh toh badi baat bol di hai’, aisa baad mein samajh ayega.”
