Don't be suspicious, says this music video
Musician Nirdosh Sobti, who once won a music reality show, is scoping in on the fact that you can spread any message you want through music. The singer's new song Bukkal, which is heavy on the rock vibes interspersed with Punjabi lyrics, has a video that will make people think. It shows a Muslim man, who is doing ordinary chores like getting his phone repaired and taking pictures around town, but even these are regarded “fishy” by people around him, who think he may be making a bomb. “The lyrics go 'meri bukkal de vich chor' which means 'you (the audience), are culprit'. Who else can only speculate a man is fitting a bomb in a mobile phone, when he is just getting it repaired?” says Sobti, adding, “The video aims to ask people to stop being sceptical and treating a particular religion badly. Every religion just wants to spread peace and harmony.” True that.
