The sedition law, introduced by the British in India in 1870, outlaws speech that “brings or attempts to bring into hatred or contempt, or excites or attempts to excite disaffection towards, the Government established by law in India.” The penalty for running afoul of the statute: up to life imprisonment. Films like Rang De Basanti (2006), Chakravyuh (2012) are some examples that revolve around the lines of sedition. Not that there haven’t been movies or books that have taken a jibe at the government. It didn’t take long to notice the similarities in the songs but the main question lies if it is a seditious track. Haan bahut baithe chup chaap, Kya ghante ka insaaf, Desh kaise hoga saaf, Inki neeyat mein hai daag, Sirf karte rahenge baat, Alag shakal wohi jaat, Vote milne par yeh khaas, Phir gayab poore saal, Haan mera bhai hai to, Noton ki sarkaar hai na, Note se banate apne beton ko, Yeh star hain na, Kitne bekaar kyun yeh, Aapas mein jhankar hai na, Baaki poora desh doobe, Inki naiya paar hai na When people will see the movie, they will understand the real context to it,” Sharma told IANS. Through the song, we just wanted to convey what’s happening in the society. It has nothing to do with the 2016 scenario. “The song from ‘Gully Boy’ is totally different. However, for the ‘Azadi’ track in ‘Gully Boy’, he has reworked the same song, and just changed its context. Interestingly, Sharma is the same composer who had taken a leaf out of the ‘azadi’ slogans by Kanhaiya Kumar and released his version of the song in 2016, along with a blog post titled as ‘I hope my song dies’.Īlso Read: When ‘Gully Boy’ rapper Dub Sharma made this hilarious video featuring PM Modi
