"'''Sheila Ki Jawani'''" ({{lit|Sheila's youth}}) is an Indian [[Hindi]]-language song sung by [[Sunidhi Chauhan]] and [[Vishal Dadlani]] featuring [[Katrina Kaif]] along with [[Akshay Kumar]] in the 2010 [[Bollywood]] film ''[[Tees Maar Khan (2010 film)|Tees Maar Khan]]''. The music is composed by composer duo [[Vishal-Shekhar]] and the lyrics are penned by Dadlani and Shree Naeem Parkar of Harvit who originally penned the song in 1979 after he got married.<ref>{{cite news|last=Tuteja|first=Joginder|title=Katrina works on herself for 'Sheila Ki Jawani'|url=http://www.indiaglitz.com/channels/hindi/article/61521.html|accessdate=21 December 2011|newspaper=Indiaglitz|date=12 November 2010}}</ref> The moves were choreographed by choreographer-director [[Farah Khan]], who went on to win the [[Filmfare Award for Best Choreography|Filmfare award for best choreography]] for the movie.<ref>{{cite web|title=Small-budget 'Udaan' sweeps Filmfare Awards|url=http://entertainment.in.msn.com/hollywood/article.aspx?cp-documentid=4865993|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120719053118/http://entertainment.in.msn.com/hollywood/article.aspx?cp-documentid=4865993|url-status=dead|archive-date=19 July 2012|publisher=MSN India|accessdate=21 December 2011}}</ref>

The immense popularity of the song prompted many comparisons between the song and "[[Munni Badnaam Hui]]", from the 2010 movie ''[[Dabangg]]''.<ref name="munnivssheila">{{cite web|title=Munni - Sheila battle heats up|url=http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_story.aspx?ID=ENTEN20100162156&keyword=bollywood&subcatg=MOVIESINDIA|publisher=NDTV Movies|accessdate=21 December 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101206074900/http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_story.aspx?ID=ENTEN20100162156&keyword=bollywood&subcatg=MOVIESINDIA|archive-date=6 December 2010|url-status=dead}}</ref> It has since become one of the most viewed Bollywood songs on [[YouTube]] with more than 100 million views to date.

Katrina Kaif stated that [[Farah Khan]] presented her with DVDs of [[Madhuri Dixit]]'s movies, so that Katrina could concentrate on Dixit's dances.

Director Farah Khan recalls, "Katrina was very conscious of revealing her navel in ''Sheila ki Jawani'' and worked out for two months for it, telling me to allow her an option to cover herself with a dupatta if her abs weren't flat. But in the end, she was extremely confident, not bothering to cover up with a bathrobe in between shots or even in the walk from her vanity van to the set."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.indiatoday.in/magazine/blog-radio/story/20110613-bollywood-deepika-padukone-katrina-navel-look-is-new-cleavage-for-sexy-indian-women-and-re-emergence-of-sari-746338-2011-06-03|title=Bollywood navel fashion has led to re-emergence of sari|last=June 3|first=Shilpa Rathnam Prachi Rege Kaveree Bamzai|last2=June 13|first2=2011 ISSUE DATE|website=India Today|language=en|access-date=2019-05-27|last3=June 13|first3=2011UPDATED|last4=Ist|first4=2011 15:57}}</ref>

==Reception==

The song was well received by film critics, who praised the choreography of Farah Khan and the moves of Katrina. [[Anupama Chopra]] of [[NDTV]] wrote, "Farah continues to be the consummate choreographer – So, Sheila ki Jawani has a superb, infectious energy".<ref>{{cite web|last=Chopra|first=Anupama|title=Review: Tees Maar Khan|url=http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_review.aspx?id=583&albumname=Movie%20Review:%20Tees%20Maar%20Khan&cp|publisher=NDTV Movies|accessdate=22 December 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110714162056/http://movies.ndtv.com/movie_review.aspx?id=583&albumname=Movie%20Review:%20Tees%20Maar%20Khan&cp|archive-date=14 July 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Nikhat Kazmi]] of the [[Times of India]] wrote "Of course Sheila Ki Jawani is eye-popping chartbuster fare and adds another definition to the item number with Katrina's explosive rendition".<ref>{{cite news|last=Kazmi|first=Nikhat|title=Tees Maar Khan|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/movie-reviews/hindi/Tees-Maar-Khan/movie-review/7149954.cms|accessdate=22 December 2011|newspaper=Times of India|date=23 December 2011}}</ref> India Today wrote "The stunning Katrina Kaif brings sexy back with her latest item song from Farah Khan's ''Tees Maar Khan''."<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/katrina-kaifs-bold-act-in-sheila-ki-jawani/1/120142.html|title=Katrina Kaifs bold act in Sheila Ki Jawani|access-date=2017-09-24}}</ref> CNX.org wrote, "The sizzling hot number performed by the steaming Katrina Kaif is a mix of outstanding talent and crude sexual appeal.

The song turned out to be one of the biggest hits of the year, along with "[[Munni Badnaam Hui]]" from ''[[Dabangg]]''.<ref name="munnivssheila" /> [[Malaika Arora Khan]], who featured in "Munni badnaam hui" was frequently compared with Kaif, in what was popularly known as the "Munni vs Sheila" debate.<ref>{{cite news|last=Nagpaul-D'Souza|first=Dipti|title=Munni vs Sheila: The way of the 'Item Bomb'|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/munni-vs-sheila-the-way-of-the-item-bomb/729468/1|accessdate=22 December 2011|newspaper=Indian Express|date=26 December 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Wangoo|first=Anupama|title=Sheila steals Munni's thunder|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-12-26/chandigarh/28217169_1_munni-badnaam-hui-malaika-arora-jawani|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120701180033/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-12-26/chandigarh/28217169_1_munni-badnaam-hui-malaika-arora-jawani|url-status=dead|archive-date=1 July 2012|accessdate=22 December 2011|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|date=26 December 2011}}</ref>

==Controversy==
In December 2010, a [[Public Interest Litigation]] (PIL) was filed in the Lucknow bench of the [[Allahabad High Court]], with the petitioner asking for a ban of the song, claiming it was "indecent" and "immoral".<ref>{{cite news|title=PIL demands ban on Munni Badnaam Hui and Sheila Ki Jawani|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/content/123107/pil-demands-ban-munni-badnaam.html|accessdate=21 December 2011|newspaper=Deccan Herald|date=23 December 2010}}</ref> However, the movie was released with minimal cuts, and was given a [[Censor Board of India#Current certificates|U/A censor rating]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Tees Maar Khan in censor trouble; gets U/A certificate|url=http://www.indianexpress.com/news/Tees-Maar-Khan-in-censor-trouble--gets-U-A-certificate/723416|accessdate=21 December 2011|newspaper=Indian Express|date=11 December 2011}}</ref>
