Salman Khan sang Lets Dance Chotu Motu.
Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan released last week with Salman Khan’s song Lets Dance Chotu Motu featuring in it.
Bollywood actor Salman Khan’s recent song Let’s Dance Chotu Motu has come under fire. The song, which was a part of his recently released film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, has been slammed by Early Childhood Association (ECA) for using dated, ‘senseless’ nursery rhymes for the song. In an open letter, ECA urged Bollywood to be a little more careful when it comes to creating content for children. For the unversed, the song features rhymes Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Jack and Jill and Humpty Dumpty, among others.
Speaking about the song, which was sung by Salman and features a rap by Yo Yo Honey Singh and Neha Bhasin, the association’s president Dr Swati Popat Vats said, “At a time when parents and schools are trying to move away from these senseless age-old rhymes, here comes a movie that glorifies it! Salman Khan has a huge fan following among children. It means that these senseless rhymes are going to be played by moms as they feed their children and in birthday parties.”
“The curriculum focusses on empathy and yet you have songs like Humpty Dumpty and Jack and Jill who have fallen and instead of feeling sad for them here they are all dancing and happy. What message are we sending to children about empathy, caring and other socio-emotional development?” they added.
