Ban This Vulgar Song: Nora Fatehi–Sanjay Dutt Sarke Chunar Teri Track From KD: The Devil Faces Online Outrage

The latest song from the upcoming Kannada film KD: The Devil, titled "Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke," has triggered strong backlash online shortly after its release. The Hindi dance number features performances by Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt, and while some viewers praised Nora Fatehi's dance moves, many criticised the track's lyrics and choreography.

The lyrical video of the song was released on March 15, positioned as a pan-India promotional track for the film. Soon after it dropped, social media users and YouTube commenters began accusing the makers of using crude double meanings and explicit dance moves, with some viewers even demanding that the song be removed.

Song's Bar-Set Dance Sequence Draws Attention

"Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke" is set inside a crowded dance bar, where Nora Fatehi performs alongside background dancers while Sanjay Dutt appears as part of the bar audience. The actor is prominently featured on the promotional thumbnail, highlighting the star power associated with the track.

The controversy began even before the full release, when the song's teaser surfaced online earlier in the week. In the clip, Nora Fatehi appears in a heavily embellished ghaghra choli and performs a hook step in which the pallu of the outfit drops suggestively before being lifted again, a move that quickly attracted attention online.

Lyrics Spark Criticism From Viewers

Once the full lyrical video went live, much of the criticism shifted toward the song's lyrics. Several viewers pointed out that the opening verse uses double entendre, which initially appears to reference a sexual act before revealing that the line refers to a drink bottle.

The track features vocals by Mangli, lyrics written by Raqeeb Alam and music composed by Arjun Janya. However, many viewers said the song relies more on shock value than musical appeal.

Some critics online also questioned how such lyrics and choreography fit into the film's 1970s underworld setting, which forms the backdrop of the movie's storyline.

Social Media Reactions Intensify

The YouTube comment section for the song quickly filled with strong reactions.

One viewer wrote, "Ashleelta (vulgarity) on the top." Another commented, "The lyrics are so cheap and vulgar."

Some users criticised the song's choreography and asked why such content was still being produced in 2026. One comment read, "Wtf is this? It's 2026, still this kind of song and action."

Others also expressed disappointment over Sanjay Dutt's involvement in the track, saying they expected better from the veteran actor.

Director Prem Also Faces Criticism

The backlash has also targeted the film's director Prem (Kannada film director), credited as Prems in the song description.

Some viewers posted harsh comments about the creative choices behind the track. One user wrote, "We, Kannada Cinema Industry, disown this showman, Prems." Another said the song's style was below expectations even compared to other regional music videos.

Despite the online criticism, the film's promotional campaign continues.
