Musically, it is indefensible. In no Urdu or Hindi dictionary is \u201csharifi\u201d a word. Its forced usage to mean \u201cmodesty\u201d, to me, is one of the most obvious issues with the recently released song, \u201cBesharam rang\u201d from the Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone-starrer Pathaan. This is besides the lacklustre tune composed by Vishal-Sheykhar and the pedestrian choreography by the otherwise talented Vaibhavi Merchant. There isn\u2019t even an interesting hook to latch on to. This is a song without any earwormy qualities, that could have been easily ignored or forgotten.<\/p>\n<p>But this is India, and we live in the volatile world of social media which follows the playbook of chaos. Out of the many elements for which one could criticise the song, it\u2019s the orange outfit worn by Padukone, which features for about 15 seconds towards the end, that has caused a furore. Outrage has been generated by those who consider the colour saffron to be a part of their cultural legacy and not just a fall fashion favourite hue. Padukone\u2019s swimsuit is orange and so \u201cHindu sentiments are being hurt\u201d. Also, what\u2019s bothering many is the use of the term \u201cBesharam rang\u201d, based on the inaccurate understanding that the song is using this term to describe saffron. That particular line from the song means \u201cthe world hasn\u2019t seen my true colours\u201d. \u201cIt\u2019s a metaphor for the immodesty of the heart, like \u2018Badtameez dil\u2018, a phrase by lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/212443307415724789\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog_bollywood\/article1837_shop.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog_bollywood\/article1837_slide1.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog_bollywood\/article1837_slide2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div style=\"padding -bottom: 5px; padding-top: 5px;\" align=\"center\"><strong>Related Videos<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_73931\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ShXEqCQT6gE?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_32696\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/huxhqphtDrM?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_31889\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vtzyhtgo1sw?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-timeline\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/deepikapadukone?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">Tweets by deepikapadukone<\/a> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The song lacks originality and has lazy lyrics.
