Artists: Vishal Jhaveri, Shahrukh Khan
Review: This track retaliates on the Shiv Sena’s protests of My Name Is Khan and the overall state of Bollywood. Below are the lyrics for this track.
(Chorus)
(Verse 1):
The character persona that’s often in scenes
Can vary from the truth written on Page 3
With cultural symptoms that reflect social needs
There can’t be a torn reel in this fraternity
But that’s the case when dealing with brutal beasts
Each person is left with an individual seat
How can artists unite in the climax’s heat
When what hurts them most is mob mentality
Ripped posters and threats to the aam aadmi
Canceled films show no support for screens
This is the current state that Bollywood has seen
Drops of politics have vanished an actor’s plea
To separate art and state so one is voiced free
Thoughts that have no limits or capacity
Opposition should be within limits of reach
Even the constitution offers the right of speech
(Chorus)
(Verse 2):
Trade analysts equate 1.2 billion rupees
As the amount that’s been vested in this movie
If Bombay cinemas don’t allow for its release
Twenty-five percent of revenues will decease
Fox Star Studios may never film in Hindi
But more so the moral that’s suppose to teach
And educate viewers about complexities
Will become shunned by the Sena of Shiv’s
Affecting a potential Oscar nominee
This isn’t about players being Pakistani
Did anyone with hatred even stop to think
What the Twitter comments may actually mean
Before bridging religion with athletics
And turning skeptic of universal beliefs
Opposition should be within limits of reach
Even the constitution offers the right of speech
(Chorus)
