Amid Concert Restrictions, Diljit Dosanjh Calls Out Bollywood Music, Says He Doesn’t Want To Take Names But…
As the event began, Diljit addressed the audience, assuring them that the restrictions wouldn’t affect their enjoyment!
Diljit Dosanjh took the stage in Mumbai on Thursday night as part of his ongoing Dil-Luminati India Tour. The concert came amidst a controversial advisory issued by the Maharashtra government, instructing the singer to avoid performing songs that reference drugs, alcohol, or violence. This directive follows similar restrictions imposed on his concerts in Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Chandigarh. During the same concert, Diljit Dosanjh was heard questioning the choice of songs made by Bollywood.
Diljit Dosanjh Calls Out Bollywood Music
As the event began, Diljit addressed the audience, assuring them that the restrictions wouldn’t affect their enjoyment. He creatively tackled the topic by drawing a parallel with a mythological story of Shiva during the Sagar Manthan where he took the poison and drank it but did not swallow it whole instead kept it in his throat. He emphasized the importance of staying unshaken by external pressures and delivering one’s best despite adversity. In a subtle critique of the advisory, Diljit pointed out a glaring inconsistency. He highlighted that Mumbai, known as the epicentre of Bollywood, frequently produces music centred on themes of alcohol, and questioned the fairness of targeting his songs. Without naming specific artists or tracks, he hinted at the abundance of such content in Bollywood’s music catalogue, suggesting that his work was being unfairly scrutinized despite its growing popularity.

The singer’s remarks underscored a deeper issue within the music and entertainment industry. While Bollywood often embraces certain themes in its mainstream content, regional artists like Diljit seem to face disproportionate restrictions. By addressing the double standards, he brought attention to the biases that exist within the industry’s regulatory framework.
