Liger Song “Aafat” Trolled For Casually Mocking And Normalising Rape
[ad_1]
Liger, starring Ananya Panday and Vijay Deverakonda, has already premiered in theatres and has become the talk of the town. The creators of the movie Liger, which received mixed reviews on its opening day, said on Friday that the film had made Rs 33.12 crores on day one globally across all languages.
Despite the directors’ candor regarding #BoycottBollywood and #BoycottLiger and their lack of concern for it, there is another reason why internet users are criticizing the movie.
Earlier this month, when the filmmakers released the film’s high-voltage song titled Aafat, movie bluffs quickly became aware that the lyrics of the song has a casual take on rape culture.
Since Bollywood is infamous for sexualizing the female body and objectification of women in songs, utilizing it as a theme in the lyrics, and Vijay Deverakonda’s depiction of Arjun Reddy, some claim that this new song goes on another level due to its problematic lyrics.
Where does the problem lie in the “Aafat” song lyrics?
Many of the songs in Bollywood contain questionable lyrics and have drawn outrage from listeners ever since they were released. Many aspects of them were inappropriate, including the use of sexist and misogynistic language and the song’s unpleasant portrayal, which the creators failed to consider seriously.
Misogyny and patriarchy in India are frequently disguised in the form of “jokes,” and these cheesy puns end up in songs due to the mindset of the musicians and filmmakers. Liger’s “Aafat” is one such song that upsets the listeners.
The song starts in a typical seductive setting, showcasing the excellent rapport between Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday.
Everything is going smoothly until a woman’s voice can be heard saying,
“Bhagwan ke liye mujhe chor do,”
in the background.
Those familiar with Bollywood movies may recall this phrase from the old movies when the female lead frequently used it when she was being harassed by thugs. In those films, the vocabulary that was used to convey fear was carelessly mocked.
The lyrics of song Aafat are in itself a big problem. Like it’s complete objectification of women. This song shouldn’t have released

In addition to this, the song parodies the concepts of abuse, power dynamics, and violence against women. Another line in the song,
“Jawani teri aafat,”
is frequently used by villains in old films to blame women for enticing males simply by their mere existence.
Another group of people specifically accused filmmaker Puri Jagannath of being exceedingly misogynistic. Actually, Jagannath’s track record in this area is not excellent overall.
People on various social media platforms shared a clip from one of his older movies, “iSmart Shankar,” when this issue first came up
In this scene, the hero first forcibly grabs the heroine, makes lewd comments about her, and then forces her to enter her house. The heroine is clearly uncomfortable 90% of the time in the scene. Still, he became a hero in the movie.
The worst part is that young people were observed recording films with this song, and it became quite popular among them. The fans’ worries about “Aafat” are entirely justified, Bollywood has to reflect deeply on what it is that it is portraying and communicating through its content.
Other aspects of the Liger film
The film “Liger,” starring Vijay Deverakonda and Ananya Panday, was finally released. Although there were high hopes for the film and the film has already been doing good business at the box office, both the general public and reviewers were unimpressed.
Numerous reviewers claimed that the movie’s mediocrity included an unnecessary romantic backstory, pointless songs, cringeworthy humour that made fun of the lead character’s stammering, unintentional funny performances, numerous instances of illogicality, and the most absurd cameo by one of the greatest boxers in history, Mike Tyson.
It’s time for the real showdown!!! This will be mass entertainment at its best, watch out…#Liger in cinemas now, go and experience it on the big screen! pic.twitter.com/D2ri6mamVd

Daylight robbery is not quite usual but it does not strike out the fact that it is highly possible. Many a time cases as such have surfaced online where normal people were robbed in broad daylight. Recently, the passengers in a taxi got robbed inside the Pragati Maidan tunnel in Delhi on Saturday afternoon.
Four men rob taxi passengers at gunpoint in broad daylight and here is what Delhi Police have to say
On Saturday, a delivery agent and his associate were robbed at gunpoint by a group of unknown assailants, stealing around Rs 1.5 to Rs 2 lakh cash from them. In spite of having 16 security guards in the Pragati Tunnel, there were no CCTV cameras installed. Although the Public Works Department assured that cameras are installed, they did not confirm their operational conditions.
The victims made a complaint at Tilak Marg police station later in the evening. The Pragati tunnel is a 1.5 km tunnel that connects New Delhi with Sarai Kale Khan and Noida. The police said that following the complaint made by the victims, a case has been filed under Sections 397 IPC which covers robbery, or dacoity with an attempt to cause death or grievous hurt and 34 (common intention).
The Deputy Commissioner of Police, Pranav Tayal, has shared that the complainant can be identified as Patel Sajan Kumar and his associate Jigar Patel. Patel Sajan works as a delivery agent for a private firm in Chandni Chow and has informed the police that he and Jigar were going to Gurugram to deliver the cash to a client.
As per the registered complaint, the two of them hired an Ola cab from near Red Fort. As soon as the cab entered the Pragati Maidan tunnel from Ring Road, four assailants on two motorcycles surrounded their cab and robbed the cash off them keeping them at gunpoint.
While the police are looking into the matter, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is not satisfied with the deterioration of public safety needs
As soon as the CCTV footage surfaced, Arvind Kejriwal lashed out at Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena and demanded his resignation from the post.
Kejriwal took to Twitter to share the footage and wrote,
“If Central govt is unable to make Delhi safe, hand it over to us. We will show u how to make a city safe for its citizens”
LG shud resign. Make way for someone who can provide safety n security to the people of Delhi.
If Central govt is unable to make Delhi safe, hand it over to us. We will show u how to make a city safe for its citizens. https://t.co/oPtqnAWlgJ

Delhi Minister Atishi also took to Twitter and slammed the incompetency of the Lieutenant Governor. She tweeted,
LG साहब: अगर आपको @ArvindKejriwal के कामों का क्रेडिट लेने से फ़ुरसत मिले तो कभी अपनी संवैधानिक ज़िम्मेदारी पर भी ध्यान दीजिए। दिल्ली वालों को सुरक्षा देना आपका काम है। और अब दिन दहाड़े दिल्ली में चोरी, डकैती और क़त्ल की वारदातें हो रही हैं। या तो आप सुरक्षा की ज़िम्मेदारी लीजिए,… https://t.co/RG4c9ozWnW

Coming across train service complaints on social media is nothing new. Very often than not we find passengers complaining about bland food or bugs in the cooked food provided to them. Quite recently someone took to Twitter regarding a complaint where they found plastic in the railway food. But the latest thing that happened has actually stunned everyone when a video of the roof of a passenger coach train surfaced online.
Indian Railways slammed over water leakage in AC coach
Netizens have harshly criticized the poor management and maintenance of the train coaches after a surprising video surfaced online. Recently, a video went viral on social media platforms in which it can be clearly seen rainwater seeping in through the roof of the 2-tier AC coach of the Avantika Express. The Congress party also reshared the video uploaded by a passenger and took to Twitter to play the blame game immediately.
The tweet said,
“काश खोखले प्रचार की जगह रेलवे के लिए कुछ काम किया होता। झंडी दिखाने वाले रेल मंत्री अभी विदेश में हैं, नाम वाले रेल मंत्री ध्यान दें। (Wish some actual work would have been done for the Railways in place of empty propaganda. The railway minister who shows the flag is currently abroad, the named railway minister should pay attention)”

It was a jab at the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, who recently flagged off 11 Vande Bharat Express, the Railways’ newest hi-tech train.
Railways response to the above-mentioned tweet
The Western Railway took to Twitter to respond to that tweet hours later and stated that all the coaches of the Avantika Express train were properly checked.
The tweet read,
“All coaches of Avantika Exp have been checked thoroughly & issue has been attended to promptly. The train has commenced its return journey & there are no such issues now. Passenger convenience is of utmost priority & WR leaves no stone unturned to resolve passengers’ grievances”
