Male Gazing- Beshraram Rang, Ghungroo, Oo Antava...etc.
Pathan is scheduled to release this coming Friday. But the controversy around it never ends. One such controversy is on the song Besharam Rang featuring Deepika Padukone and Shahrukh Khan. Few political parties and netizens found the song to be vulgar and objectifying the female lead. Well, the song sung by Shilpa Rao and composed by Vishal Shekhar and has over 200 million views on the YouTube channel of YRF (Yashraj Developers) has been criticized for promoting male gazing, here's my analysis on male gazing and the portrayal of women in the songs of Indian films.

Not only in Bollywood but the Telugu flick Pushpa too had a similar scene. Samantha Ruth Prabhu's biggest hit song Oo Antava… too had bold lyrics but were completely contradictory to how the song was filmed. The song used as an item number garnered over 270 million views on YouTube.
