It has been heard that A R Rahman song Hosanna from Ek Deewana Tha has run into troubled waters.
Buzz says that the Christian Secular Forum (CSF) in Mumbai has objected to the use of the word Hosanna, which as per them is a sacred term used only within prayer songs among Christians and Jews. It is noted that the said song is becoming rage among the youth and is climbing Bollywood chartbusters ever since its release.
Joseph Dias, General Secretary, CSF, says: “Hosanna is a prayer in the Bible and used by both Jews and Christians, referring to God or Jesus Christ, with strong reverential and religious connotations. So to make a song and dance out of it where a guy is professing his love to the girl by using this term is utterly unacceptable”.
Another strange fact linked is that the original Tamil song had also become equally popular, but it did not face any such objection. To this Joseph added, “I think it may not have been noticed by people then. Now that we have heard the song, we must stop it. If you would not use Islamic, Hindu or prayers from any other religion in pop secular music, then why do you use Hosanna in a carnal love song from a film? It trivializes the word”.
The CSF is planning to file a case against the film makers. Let’s see what Rahman has to say about this!
