Songs Normalizing Eve-Teasing
Bollywood is one of the main entertainment businesses, was never reticent to display its bigot expectations and opinions, establishing it in their songs! Bollywood is still inept to beat the conventional depiction of women by firming to the usage of terms like a good (vs) the bad woman and releasing sexist songs. The previous is customary, self-forfeiting, virtuous, precise, and fraught but doesn’t trust in speaking against her relegation and the last is modernized, idiosyncratic, sexually belligerent, and goads to pause the standards.
The Sanskari lady is commemorated while the objector’s change is inexorably brought about by the recognition to be Sanskari. This requires nothing but the observance of male-controlled customs. Tangibly women are nobody but an ornamental item portraying venereal parts in Films. The only note that these flicks can provide is that women are ‘objects’ that a man needs and wants while they are unable to crave whatever but to be anticipated!
Like Bollywood films, the tunes they compose are also not unrestricted of bigot concepts. From tracks like “Tu cheez, Badi hai mast mast to Munni badnam and Fevicol Se”, the embodiment of women is fecund and impenitent. When excavated deeper the tracks that we like can make you feel nothing but flinch. Presenting to you a catalog containing the top 10 Bollywood songs that can simply make you wince!
1. Sheher Ki Ladki
Similar to Badshah’s tunes, the reformation of the old form of this song will leave you speculating, Why? If the typecasting of the “Shaher ki Ladki” wasn’t plenty, Badhshah was forced to provide those terms that are nonentity, leaving you flinching. To make effects shoddier, the lady states herself as a “Caffeine ki goli”! That leaves anybody befuddled. Badshah goes to the level of narrating her figure as roughly that men can’t support but examine and conveys displeasure on their helplessness to hold her body. Of course, a women’s body is made for this very motive and accord is nothing but a delusion!
2. Makhna
Honey Singh is branded for composing tunes that are nothing but chauvinistic and this masterpiece is no different! The track starts with the phrase “Tujhe diamond jaise sambhal ke rakhna” lacking the sense to perceive that a woman need not be believed of as a product for her to be esteemed, similarly she isn’t anything for men to save and display. In this song, Honey Singh names himself a Casanova and reputes himself a possible risk to any woman who comes near him. Fine, I guess in place of querying women to be attentive why not initiate a step and change Yourself?
3. Hauli Hauli
In this song, the woman names herself a bad one since she is ‘slight delinquent’ and doesn’t feel diffident in any circumstances. Because an unpleasant girl is always the one who wears skimpy garments, the podium where she is, is full of women flaunting their body excluding Tabu! She falls under the conservative Indian type including the men in the film. The woman croons and parties appealing that she is outfitted in this style for him. Prompts me of another wince-worthy track from Haseena Maan Jayegi, “Chinti pahad chade marne ke waste Ladki kare fashion ladko ke waste”. Bollywood must write a full-stop to the philippic that women deck-up just to amaze men. Like seriously?
4. Ek Chumma
Bollywood has been conforming eve-teasing and stalking by publicizing the impression that a ‘No’ is a masked ‘Yes’. This track is a seamless sample of this broadly seized trust! This song portrays 3 men with a bunch of other women and men swaying around asking the women to kiss them for a fact that they protected the girls against the thugs. The men are spotted dancing desperately asking the girls to kiss them and when the girls smack them, they begin to forcefully kiss the women. The icing on the cake is the girl in question laughing, glinting, and mocking the men displaying that they are enjoying such signs.
5. Chamma Chamma
This tune from the film ‘Fraud Saiyaan’ is yet another recreation that shouldn’t have been made in the first place! From unfolding the structures of her eyes to her waist this song serves as a seamless sample of how girls and their bodies are depicted in the entertainment industry, but is this entertainment in the first place? The obstinate dance moves only enhance and make the track seem even shadier!
6. Baby Doll
Women like to be mentioned as dolls but not in a derogatory sense. A Golden Baby-doll might have been the last song I might have wanted to hear if given a choice! Just envision the stature of stupidity engrossed in one solo track by its distributors!
7. Cheez badi hai mast mast
This track was presented in the 1994 movie “Mohra” which was broadly commended for its music composition. The consequence of this song was that Raveena Tandon, the fluky one was titled as a ‘mast cheez’ in the movie and even got the sobriquet ‘the mast mast girl’ apart from influencing the existence of pavement ‘eve-teasers’.
8. Fevicol Se
Recollecting karan Johar’s movies, I reminisce getting sewed to Kareena’s rosy costume from K3G, the Poo’s costume. Poo was every girl’s encouragement! By the time Kareena’s Fevicol Se was released, I was enamored. She was stunning, Fact! But I just couldn’t take my eyes off while reading through the reifying lines that she was lip-syncing. At a period when we were concluding the materialization of women in Bollywood, this track was released telling us that we are really ‘tandoori murgis,’ here for feasting! The song bagged many awards and rewards but deep in my heart, the havoc was done! For a minute, just visualize the idea of utilizing fevicol to twig images of somebody on your torso!
9. Tu Mere Agal Bagal Hai
Fitting together in this list is Shahid Kapoor with this track from the film “Phata Poster Nikla Hero”. He says the topic of his likings that he’s planning to haulm her, wedge her way because he has rough ideas of prerogative. This, he utters is the factual scratch of a lover. And while performing these stunts he asks her to not be stunned or deny it. Bollywood readdressing romantic proposals? constantly!
Similarly, we all get to notice the girl giving away an elusive blush. Seems like a compliment, actually you might want to dial the cops’ number? The Shahid Mika blend remitted with the song Gandi Baat, yet another debacle! Do you need me to say what’s incorrect with that track?
10. Chikni Chameli
No one can beat Bollywood in producing drivel terms for their tracks coupled with bullshitting lyrics. Women are purely perceived as intoxicating substances to kindle the vilest of passions in a man’s heart and what more than an inebriating chick?
It is 2020 and Bollywood is still inept to realize and fix its uni-structural depiction of women. This slender, petite view with a conventional tactic is longing to be gotten away with! Except Bollywood acknowledges the far-fetching significances of these performances, bigotry will last to flourish and be assisted in a salver to be relished by the crowds. There could be a playlist containing many other sexist tracks that may have or make you flinch. You can comment on those tracks that made you feel trail this trend.
In supposition, this article gave me more discomfort than Himesh Reshammiya decided to pick up acting! Bollywood, every time you decide to release filthy numbers you break my heart. But unbiased like Geet and Aditya, Ram and Leela, Rahul and Anjali yet I provide you with another chance. Fix yourself, at least this last time!
