The Pippa controversy

While the film is going strong, it got into a controversy after moviegoers disliked AR Rahman’s rendition of the Bengali poet Nazrul Islam’s patriotic song Karar Oi Louho Kopat. After receiving flak, the makers issued a lengthy statement saying that they understood the audience’s emotional attachment to the original composition. Hence, they sincerely apologized for hurting sentiments or causing unintended distress to the public even though their intention was to pay homage to the cultural significance of the song.
