Jumme ki raat hai,hum tere saath hain,chumme ki baat hain,Allah bachayein mujhe teri var se…..
This is the starting line of the song from Salman Khan’s blockbuster movie,Kick. It mentions Islamic Jumma night,and also mentions Allah. As far as I remember,this was an item song which had nothing to do with Islam,plus,Khan was portraying the role of a Sikh man(Devi Lal Singh),and his love interest,Jacqueline was being portrayed as a Hindu(Shaina Mehra). So,doesn’t this lyrics promote soft-Islam?
Lets come to another one!
Allah mujhe dard ke kabil bana diya,toofan ko bhi kashti ka saahil bana diya…..
This is the starting line of the famous song,O saathi,from the film Baaghi 2. Again,Allah has been mentioned,absolutely unnecessarily,as Tiger played the role of Captain Ranveer Pratap Singh(Hindu) and Disha Patani played the role of Neha Rawat Salgaonkar(again,a Hindu). Plus,the song was sung in a context which had absolutely nothing to do with Islamic traditions. So,doesn’t this lyric promote soft-Islam?
So,its clear that no one even bothered to criticise Sajid Nadiadwala for always inserting Islam,atleast someway or the other in his films,totally out of context. And Oh boy,all these films are super-duper hits!!! People were busy dancing to the tunes of Jumme ki raat or grooving to the magic of Atif Aslam’s voice in O saathi.
Most of Akshay Kumar’s comedy films,portray him as Christian. Even if he is not,he does that customary Christian way of thanking Jesus after almost each and everything. Doesn’t this promote soft-Christianity?
Or are these allowed,but if a film is made where the protagonist is named Shiv(adopted name),his foster mother is a Shiv-bhakt and a kingdom worships a Goddess(probably Durga),then it becomes promoting Hindutva.
Its an absolute shame.
This is India,not Pakistan. If films can’t show Hindu religious beliefs(mind it,religious beliefs) in a film in a Hindu-majority nation like India,then where will they be shown. Even Muslim-majority nations like Bangladesh have made atleast some films on Hindus.
I find absolutely nothing wrong in this. Absolutely nothing wrong. Its the right of people to promote their religion through movies. If Nadiadwala can do that,S. S. R too can do that,he has every right
