Viewers slammed the track for what they called “suggestive” and “vulgar” content. The criticism focused on both the lyrics and the visuals, with many users calling them inappropriate.
Then came the twist. Barely a day after release, the video was made private. Anyone trying to watch it now is greeted with a blunt message: “Video unavailable. This video is private.”
Nora’s viral step becomes the talking point
The track featured Nora Fatehi in a full-on dance number set inside a bar. Dressed in a ghagra choli, she is seen dancing among a group of men.
One particular hook step where her pallu becomes part of the choreography quickly went viral. Clips spread fast online, adding more fuel to the already heated reactions.

But the same visuals that caught attention also triggered outrage. Many viewers pointed out the use of double-meaning lyrics and said the presentation crossed a line.
The song wasn’t just about Nora. It also featured Sanjay Dutt. The lyrics were penned by Raqueeb Alam, but instead of praise, the writing became a major reason for criticism online.
NHRC member calls it out
कौन सभ्य परिवार साथ बैठकर यह देख सकता है ❓
बॉलीवुड से नैतिकता की अपेक्षा तो है ही नहीं परंतु सेंसर बोर्ड द्वारा अश्लीलता को लाइसेंस देना शर्मनाक है।
यह मानसिक रोगी अपनी मनोविकृतियों से पीढ़ीयों को बर्बाद कर रहे हैं।

The controversy didn’t stay limited to social media. It reached official corridors too.
Priyank Kanungo, a member of the National Human Rights Commission, reacted strongly when asked about the song on March 16. He questioned its appropriateness, asking who could comfortably watch such content with their family.
Reports suggest that notices may have been issued to the makers based on complaints about the song.

She wasn't just in the stands. She was carrying the flag of the country that made her. When Morocco and Brazil met at MetLife Stadium, Nora Fatehi sang the Moroccan anthem.
