'Kolaveri Di' is a rage: 14 million hits and counting

The track from the Tamil film 3 has become an overnight sensation online. The Guide spoke to its young music director on why the track has created a buzz across the country

"Believe it or not, it was all impromptu, " says 21-year-old Anirudh Ravichander, music director of the superhit song, Why This Kolaveri Di for the Tamil movie 3.

The video, which was released on November 16 by Sony Music, already has 14 million hits and counting.

The song has (despite its lyrics claiming to be a 'flop song') already gone viral on YouTube and social networking sites, becoming one of the top trending topics on Twitter.

"I didn't expect it to become such a huge hit, " says the music director. So much so, even Amitabh Bachchan has tweeted about it: "Just heard Kolaveri after much talk on it... it's so original and catchy...congrats Dhanush and Aishwarya... love (sic)".

The debutant music director, who is fresh out of graduation college (he completed a BCom course from Loyola in Chennai), is lapping it all up. "I am on cloud nine, " he says.

But he isn't going overboard. "I have another nine songs to go and want to give them my best, " says Ravichander. The youngster is already getting many offers, including a few from Bollywood. But right now, 3 is his priority. "This (the movie project) is like my baby. I want to give it my complete attention, " he claims.

The song emerged, literally, out of the blue. The tune, claims Ravichander, came to him in five minutes flat. "The director (Aishwarya Dhanush) gave me the situation. Dhanush sir came after 10-15 minutes and started singing it, " he says. Dhanush gave the lyrics on the spot and since the casual usage of English gelled with the mood of the song, they decided to retain it for the entire song.

Incidentally, Ravichander had Dhanush in mind when he was composing the song. "He has a raw voice which would suit the song. He sounds like a common man, who enjoys singing. When he started singing, Why this kolaveri kolaveri kolaveri di? we knew we were on right track, " he says.

The tune was composed to make the song sound catchy. The lyrics fit the sequence in the movie in which a boy expresses his feelings about failing in love.

Sung in far-from-correct English with a heavy South Indian accent and everyday words like "holy cow", the video shows Shruti Hassan, Dhanush, Aishwarya Dhanush and Ravichander recording the song in a studio and having a great time doing it.

Apart from the heavy South Indian accent and the way the song is sung, there is nothing remarkable about the "Soup song" as it has come to be known. "It is funny because the lyrics have no meaning whatsoever. We had a ball while recording it, " recalls Ravichander.

The music is a blend of South Indian rhythm, with guitar and saxophone. "It is like a nursery rhyme, " adds Ravichander who till now had only composed music for short films.

Oosaravelli & Dookudu: Fake records

Whenever a big hero movie is released , fans go frenzy about the collections and calculations starts right from benefit show.This mad rush for collection doesnt end with fans, it creeps till producers, distributors and reaches to an extent even the hero comes out to boast his records.
Whats so big deal in collections?. Collections are yardstick for measuring how movie fares at boxoffice.Money bags are proportional to Hit scale.A movie with good content is termed as a blockbuster only if it breaks existing records and sets news trends.So collections effectively stands out as a prestige for any big hero.
Till here it is all good.When collections are presented in a pure way , there is no harm in broadcasting  them and use them to pull more people to theatres.But when collections are tinkered by a huge margin(25-40%) problem starts.This trend has become more common in tollywood.Especially these days Dookudu team is coming up with unbelievable goofed up figures.
It is evident from the following figures (in Lakhs).

The above figures are just krishna district 3rd week.Theatre sources say , samething is repeated in Nizam , ceded areas and throughout the world as well.Though the movie is faring well all over the world with extra ordinary collection, still producers are adding 'Extra' to the extraordinary figure.
In the same lines, Oosaravelli team is also coming up with same tinkered figures.Movie team cameup with whopping 35 crore figure,which is clearly not possible.Additionally Oosaravelli went a extra mile and published even fake number of theatres.
In mad rush of superiority , tollywood is heading towards a dangerous region.If the trend continues people might name Tollywood as 'Fakewood'.Atleast now our big heroes and producers should realize and stop their mad fake acts.

Pawan can learn this from Mahesh

Star heroes pawan kalyan and Mahesh Babu are generally rated as top most bangers of Box Office. Audience and Fans never worry on the number of flops they deliver, every new movie from them is cherished. In fact some time ago both were considered as similar natured living their social life in dark with no external communication with Fans or audience. Well, one might call it ‘Shy’ or any other thing. 

In one aspect, Mahesh Babu has literally out thrown pawan kalyan and that happens to be promoting a movie. Even when ‘Dookudu’ is racing up with new records, Mahesh Babu made it a duty to offer his share of promotion for the flick. He came before media to express his happiness thanking Fans boosting the collections. 

‘pawan kalyan has never done this before. He remained immune for both flops and hits. Main reason why ‘Teen Maar’ stumbled is due to lack of publicity. Pawan should change his attitude towards his films at least for the sake of producers and distributors. He can learn a few from Mahesh,' said an analyst.
