The recently released 'Mirzapur The Movie' is enjoying success at the box office, but it has also become embroiled in a controversy. Voices of protest have emerged regarding the song 'Shoorveer' from the film. A BJP leader has officially expressed dissatisfaction, raising objections to the lyrics and presentation of the track.

According to the entertainment desk at Amar Ujala, the BJP leader has submitted a formal letter to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). In the letter, the leader has demanded that the song 'Shoorveer' be removed from the film immediately. The argument presented is that the song is disrespectful and hurts public sentiments.

'Mirzapur The Movie' is currently popular among audiences in theaters and is performing well commercially. However, this controversy has presented a new challenge for the film's producers. So far, there has been no official response from the filmmakers or the CBFC regarding the letter.

The song 'Shoorveer' is the focal point of the dispute. The BJP leader mentioned in the letter that they have serious objections to the words used and the way the song is depicted. The leader believes that such content should not be included in a public release.

This is not the first time the 'Mirzapur' franchise has faced controversy. Previously, the web series also encountered various issues and protests. The addition of this new controversy surrounding the film has brought the franchise back into the headlines.

The CBFC will now review the matter. The board will have to determine whether the song contains any objectionable content. If the complaint is found to be valid, the board may issue instructions for changes to be made to the film.

Currently, the film continues to be screened in theaters, and audiences are still attending. Despite the controversy, there has been no significant impact on the film's box office earnings so far. In the coming days, it will be important to see what decision the CBFC makes regarding this complaint and whether any changes are implemented in the film.
