An NGO on Tuesday urged the Delhi High Court to ban a song of an upcoming Bollywood film on the grounds that it promotes liquor consumption and “maligns” a nursery rhyme.
The lyrics of the song - ‘Lalla Lalla Lori, Daaru Ki Katori’ - in the action-comedy movie ‘Welcome 2 Karachi’, starring Arshad Warsi, came under attack in a PIL filed by the NGO, Citizens for Better India. The film is set to be released next week.
The plea was mentioned before a Bench of Justices Badar Durrez Ahmed and Sanjeev Sachdeva, who asked the registry to list it before the appropriate Bench on Wednesday.
The court also said that the song was not promoting consumption of liquor, as was being contended by the NGO. — PTI
