The scene shows that there is a school right opposite of a pehelwaani akhaada. The school-going girls make a video complaining about the verbal harassment and pointing and their skirts that the pehelwaans do everyday. The pehelwaans see this video and confront the girls.

Viewers took to the comments section of the video to point out how objectionable the entire treatment of the girl was. People pointed out that these scenes were prominent during the 80s and 90s and that the Censor Board should have banned this scene. One comment said it is not right to show child nudity for publicity. Another was a request to the makers to not make such young girls play roles like these and do cheap scenes with them.

“It’s a shame how this filth Bollywood industry using girls of such small age just to heat up and spice up the hero entry....these cheap stunts gives society a fair share of rotten and wicked thought process... Plz report ...plz everyone report to at least delete that skirt scene,”
