It is hard to believe but this is a fact, though the ban was not official. The song was an instant hit which gave a chance to Naseerudin Shah to dance like other bollywood heroes and the actress Sonam was popular overnight. Actually the song was a rage. The “Oye Oye” tagline was used by eve teasers to harass girls and therefore it was banned in public. However the song was played in parties and functions. Would like to share a personal experience. During that time I was attending a family wedding in Ajmer (Rajasthan). During the night police rounds used to be a normal thing and so was shouting, “Oye Oye”. There was an article published in a daily which stated that if anyone is caught shouting the same would be fined. The song was composed by Kalyanji - Anandji with special music arrangements by Viju Shah. So, even if it is hard to believe that such an official ban can exist, you cannot deny the fact that some restrictions were implied due to the craze of the song. Source: Punkaaj Sharm...
