Internet Has Mixed Feelings About Fadnavis Couple’s Music Video

What do you make of the new music video by Amruta Fadnavis to save rivers of Mumbai?

This video of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and his wife Amruta singing the now titled ‘Mumbai River Anthem’ has caught the Internet’s attention and it can’t have enough of it — for reasons good and bad.

The song is a call to action for Mumbaikars to come together and help save Mumbai’s four rivers — Dahisar, Mithi, Oshiwara, and Poisar. Released by T-series, the video features Fadnavis lip-syncing to the melodious voice of Sonu Nigam, while his wife croons her own words.

This cause driven music video has, however, invoked some mixed reactions from the Twiteratti. Here take a look

Loved the Fadnavis duo duet. Heartwarming. Reminded me of glorious #Rafisaab-Lata duets of the past. It was like "Dil pukaare, aa re aa re aa re".
Ye dil maange more.
Indians love song and dance. Am sure they would've endeared themselves even more to Indians now.
And nice msg.

What’s Wrong With Amruta Fadnavis Singing To Consserve Rivers?

Shame on ppl criticising @fadnavis_amruta for singing a song to save rivers.

Where were you when Mughal courtier Tansen sang Raag Malhar to induce rain?

That was social cause video right ? She only had in some part of video, what's wrong in it ?? Why would someone make a career using river anthem song ? She might have been invited by producer so this message reach to large section

— The VVIP (@MrVVIPAK) February 27, 2018

She's not a politician. We did not elect her. Why complain whatever she does.

— OggyN'Roaches (@sDegloorkar) February 26, 2018

Can't you see it's not produced by using public money, i don't know why you people hate her.

— The VVIP (@MrVVIPAK) February 27, 2018

I agree with almost all the issues you raise. But i may not agree on this. She is an individual who is doing what she wants to do.i didn’t find anything objectionable in this song. Something good for the rivers only. CM appearance might not please many but whats so wrong??

Meanwhile...

Good decision..
But when will @Dev_Fadnavis stop talking in Hindi?? Even the song in which @fadnavis_amruta is there is in Hindi... Why?? @ksinamdar @ShefVaidya

So what did you think of this duet performance by Fadnavis and his wife Amruta? Will it help conserve the rivers in Mumbai or affect the chief minister’s vote bank instead? Let us know in the comments below.
