‘Dishoom’ song faces the ire of Sikh body

The upcoming movie ‘Dishoom’ seems to be facing the ire of a Sikh body over a song sequence. This time, the ‘Shiromani Akali Dal’ controlled Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee objected to the use of an article of Sikh faith in a yet to be released film in an “inappropriate manner”. A dagger (short kirpan) worn with a waist belt by Jacqueline in the dance song ‘Ishq ka marz” was found objectionable by the committee members.

Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee objected to the use of an article of Sikh faith in a yet to be released film in an “inappropriate manner”.

In a letter to CBFC Chairman Pahlaj Nihalani, Sirsa said that “the song depicts a semi-clad actress (Ms. Jacqueline Fernandez) dancing with a Kirpan with other co-stars actor Varun Dhawan and John Abraham, one of the five compulsory Kakaars worn by a practising Sikh; dangling in front of her legs and supported by a cloth belt worn around the waist by the actress.” Sirsa stated that the song video was offensive, malafide and an insult to the well-established Sikh tenets and customs.
