Daaku Maharaaj Faces Backlash for His Dance Moves

Balakrishna’s Sankranti release, Daaku Maharaaj had its third song Dabidi Dibidi, released today, and it has instantly invited significant criticism for the dance moves choreographed by Shekhar Master.

Keeping aside the lyrics, music, songs, tunes, and everything else, there are certain dance moves that appear objectionable and do not align well with Balakrishna’s age or stature.

These were quickly picked up by a group of anti-fans, while even Tamil fans have been amplifying the criticism, sharing these dance clips.

It is surprising that even the director Bobby Kolli couldn’t see what suits the stature of his hero, who is also involved in social service and currently serving as an MLA from Hindupur.

Perhaps the director thought that an item song might be an exception where no rules apply, but he is clearly mistaken. No justification or explanation will defend the approval of such dance moves at this time.

Balakrishna has entered his second innings, and his goodwill has been growing exponentially due to the age-appropriate roles he has chosen. This could have easily been avoided. While this may not be a major issue or controversy, it is unnecessary for director Bobby to have approved such dance moves in the first place.

Balakrishna also bears the blame along with the director and choreographer, as he failed to see this.

Daaku Maharaaj is set to release for Sankranti on January 12th, and fans are hoping to continue Balakrishna’s success streak.
