Controversy and Celebration: Urvashi Rautela Opens Up About 'Dabidi Dibidi'!

Released during the Sankranti festival, ‘Daaku Maharaj’ has quickly captured the audience's attention, marking a significant success at the box office. Among the highlights contributing to its popularity is the music, notably the track ‘Dabidi Dibidi’ featuring Urvashi Rautela and Balakrishna, which has set trends. However, a specific dance move in this song sparked controversy, prompting Urvashi Rautela to address the matter with an English media outlet.

Urvashi Rautela shared her thoughts on the mixed reactions the film and its music have received. She expressed understanding and respect for varied opinions on movies, especially those where dance and acting take precedence, as in her work with Balakrishna in ‘Daaku Maharaj’. She highlighted her admiration for Balakrishna, describing him as a legendary figure and expressing honor in having the opportunity to collaborate with him. Rautela emphasized that her performance was not merely an act but a celebration of her respect for the art form, fulfilling a dream of working with Balakrishna and appreciating his support for artists.

The film 'Daaku Maharaj' not only enjoyed a favorable reception from the audience but also made a remarkable impact financially, gathering ₹56 crores on its opening day. Directed by Bobby and launched on January 12th, this success has positioned ‘Daaku Maharaj’ among the highest-grossing films in Balakrishna’s career. This achievement underscores the film's broad appeal and the significant draw of its lead actors and music.

Addressing the backlash following the song's release, Urvashi Rautela responded to the critics, particularly targeting those who, despite not having significant achievements of their own, feel entitled to critique the hard work of others. She shared a perspective she came across online, which stated, "Some people who haven't achieved anything in life think they have the right to criticize those who work hard. This is ridiculous. Real power is not criticizing others, but taking their greatness as an example." This statement reflects the sentiment of ignoring baseless criticism and focusing on the positive reception and achievements associated with the film and its music.

In sum, ‘Daaku Maharaj’ has not only been a commercial success but also a platform for significant performances by Urvashi Rautela and Balakrishna. Despite facing controversies, the film has managed to stand out as a significant release, thanks to its engaging content and the strong support it has received from its cast and crew.
