Song Tiled 'Acche Din Kab Aayenge' Changed To 'Acche Din Ab Aaye Re' Reportedly Due To Govt Pressure
A song titled Acche Din Kab Aayenge was changed to Acche Din Ab Aaye Re after the makers of Fanney Khan, the film which it was a part of, received calls from 'high places,' a Mid-Day report said.
The director of the film, Atul Manjrekar, told the tabloid that the song was getting needless 'political colour' which made them 'cut a new video.'
"We cut a new video and released it now because our song was unnecessarily taking a political color. It didn't strike us that this is also the slogan of the government. We didn't expect such a reaction. Fanney Khan is a simple film about a cab driver and his dreams. I hope people see the song in the right context and not misconstrue it"
He also said the new version was to be a part of the film.
Many people on social media used the original song, Acche Din Kab Aayenge, to criticise the BJP government, whose slogan is, "Acche Din."
"The producers also got a few calls from high places," a source was quoted as saying in Mid-Day. The fact that filmmakers are resorting to pre-censorship due to fear of backlash by fringe groups isn't new.
In an interview with HuffPost India, Kabir Khan said that he edits out scenes before filming due to fear of backlash.
"It's unfortunate that this is happening. I've noticed this and sometimes I try to curb it myself by thinking, 'Oh! Will this create a problem?' They are completely conditioning you and your thought process. It's dangerous."
Ekta Kapoor, too, in an interview said that she isn't going to touch a film about a historical figure after what happened to Padmavati.
More recently, the CBFC asked the makers of Mission Impossible Fallout to drop references to Kashmir (it was referred as India-controlled Kashmir) before giving it a clearance.
Fanney Khan features an ensemble of Rajkummar Rao, Anil Kapoor, and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and is set to release this week.

Belagavi youth’s murder case projected as road accident, cracked in Uttara Kannada; Three arrested
Karwar: Uttara Kannada police have cracked a murder case in which a Belagavi youth was killed and his body burnt inside a car to make it appear like a road accident.
Addressing a press meet in the city, Superintendent of Police Deepan M.N. said three accused from Old Hubballi have been arrested in connection with the case. The crime was a pre-planned act driven by personal enmity, he said.
The case came to light on April 8 morning when a car (KA-04/MJ-8996) was found completely burnt in a roadside ditch near Talekumbri bus stand in Yellapur. Only charred human remains were found inside the vehicle. Initially, it was suspected to be an accident caused by overspeeding, and a case was registered at Yellapur police station based on a complaint filed by the deceased’s father, Jagannath Dhapale.
However, the father later expressed suspicion that his son’s death was not accidental, prompting a detailed investigation.
Taking the matter seriously, two special teams were formed under the leadership of Yellapur Inspector Ramesh Hanapur. On analysing technical evidence and CCTV footage, police found that it was a planned murder.
The accused have been identified as Abdul Raheem Basheer Ahmed Mujawar (32), Maulasab Bavahan Wada (36) and Dadapeer alias Aftab Mehboob Saab Balasangi (22), all chicken traders from Old Hubballi.
Police have seized the car used in the crime along with two scooters. The accused have been remanded to judicial custody.
Investigations revealed that the accused killed Nitesh Dhapale due to personal enmity and later set the car on fire along with the body to project it as an accident.
SP Deepan M.N. appreciated the efforts of Inspector Ramesh Hanapur, PSIs Rajashekhar Vandali and Siddappa Gudi, and the entire team for solving the complex case.
