Madhuri female desire with Choli Ke Peeche

Female desire is celebrated with Choli Ke Peeche. Movie lovers cannot forget the song Choli Ke Peeche from Khalnayak in 1993. The film starred Sanjay Dutt in the lead under the direction of Subhash Ghai. The song created a huge controversy for its lyrics and also the dance moves. Following this, the song was banned on Doordarshan. However, the album turned out to be a blockbuster with a record number of sales.

But many feel that Madhuri Dixit with her dance and lyrics celebrated female desire with Choli Ke Peeche. Alka Yagnik and Ila Arun sang the song choreographed by Saroj Khan while Lakshmikanth -Pyarelal tuned the music. Lyrics are penned by Anand Bakshi.

Lyricist Anand Bakshi once speaking to scribes rubbished all the talk of vulgarity. He says  "What's vulgar about it? It's a Rajasthani folk song. It's played at weddings. The heart is in the choli only. If you are wearing a shirt, your heart will be inside the shirt. You listen to traditional Punjabi songs, if you start dissecting them in Hindi they might sound vulgar, but they are not."

The wedding songs in Punjab are famously known for being heavy on sexual innuendos, and the same is true for many regional folk songs Madhuri Dixit said  "There was a lot of hue and cry over Choli Ke Peeche. People protested a lot but when they watched the film, they went quiet. People loved the picturization of the song and even those who had protested the song, they were applauding it."
