The scandal exposed on Aaj Tak is huge. Until now we had only heard of
a few phone conversations or read news paper transcripts of the
Bollywood-Mafia nexus. But the video has everything. What is
particularly detestable is Anu Malik's literal pooja of Dawood Ibrahim.
His song goes something like this:
Ameeron ko jisne Ameeri sikhai,
Garibon ke liye jisne
Kutiya banayi
woh sab ka bhai
Apna Dawood bhai...
It is too early to say what the public reaction is going to be. In the past we have seen several film stars hobnobbing with anti-social and anti-national elements, but public memory remains short and they are eventually forgiven, worse people are back to their worshipping ways.
On the other hand, Sony is an international corporation with a reputation across the globe. Will it like to have the Sony brand name be associated with Anu Malik after this expose? This was my first reaction after seeing the news, and therefore the post.
Newspapers are yet to react one way or the other but here is a short story from this morning's Hindustan Times:
