A BJP leader criticises the use of a song associated with Maharana Pratap in Mirzapur The Movie, saying it “cannot debase history.” The song, which celebrates Maharana Pratap and his horse Chetak, plays during an action sequence in the film involving Munna Tripathi and his gang.
The criticism focuses on how a historical-themed track is used in a violent, fictional context. NDTV reports that the BJP leader argues the portrayal crosses a line by placing the song’s subject matter in an action/“gang war” sequence. Other details about the film’s wider reception or any formal response from the movie’s makers are not included in the provided accounts.
Overall, the reports highlight a dispute over cultural and historical symbolism in film music placement, with the BJP leader taking an explicit stand against what he frames as degrading history. The story remains centered on the leader’s remarks and the specific scene where the track appears, rather than on verified facts about the filmmakers’ intent or any subsequent action.
