Hope TATA Nano does not bomb as the Film ‘3’
Yet another one from Dhanush– has signed Hindi films and now this.
Truly his stars are on the rise.
“The much hyped anthem that southern star Dhanush sang for cricketer Sachin Tendulkar was mysteriously removed from YouTube on Friday morning only to find its way back on the website a few hours later.
On Friday, a disappointed Dhanush, whose song ‘Kolaveri Di’ became an overnight success, tweeted, “Sad dat sum1 removed sachin song link.v worked so hard 4 a week wout a mins sleep … The song had 4,80,000 views within 24 hrs (sic).”
The song was offered to the southern star by an energy drink company, which the Master Blaster is a brand ambassador of.
Unlike Dhanush’s earlier song ‘Kolaveri Di, which went viral instantly, this song did not get that good a response. In fact, many of Tendulkar’s fans disliked the song and tweeted against it.
Talking about the song, dedicated to the ‘darling of masses’ Tendulkar Dhanush had told HT Cafe: “I have always respected Sachin for his dedication to the game and it is amazing to see how it’s kept him going.”
Perhaps, Dhanush’s earlier tweet did the trick as YouTube instantly got to work and uploaded the video again. The excited actor then tweeted, “The video is back on you tube guys.thanks to youtube reps who imm looked into d issue and sorted it out 🙂 GOD BLESS(sic)”.

I do not understand why Javed is talking through his hat.
I know tens of songs in Hindi and Tamil that are more vulgar and more naked than ‘Kolaveri’, including some from the films scripted by Javed with Salim.
There were /are Tamil lyrics worse and cruder than ‘Kolaveri’.
Try out the old one ‘kaikku adakkamaa, kadichchup paaka vaatama from ‘elanthappayam from ‘Panama Paasama ‘ penned by the great Kannadasan who regretted for the lines later.(means-compact to hold in the palm,suitable to nibble)
Or ‘Eppadi,eppadi vayasukku vandadhu epadi’ by Vaali(How,how did you come of age).
There had been more vulgar songs even before 60’s.
There have been reports that some teachers from Tamil Nadu expressing objection to the lines’ handula glassu..glassule Scotchu'( glass in hand,Scotch in the glass)
As though children do not know of this,with the Government maintaining Wine shops even near the schools!
This song, as I have mentioned earlier in my blog ,is ordinary,Music mediocre, but that does not make that it should not be a Hit.
The song, at best, can be said to be amateurish and fun-may be why, it is a rage!
If children want to tease girls, they have better vocabulary,this does not mean that the Lyricists should be irresponsible.
They might exercise restraint for they too have children.
Film makers.who are in an influential medium, should have social responsibility.
* I have not quoted Hindi Lyrics because my it is not my mother tongue and I could feel better in mine.
I have not quoted more vulgar lines from Tamil for in that case this Blog will become porn.
Javed Ahthar 0f Salim-Javed is reported to have remarked that the Lyrics of Kolaveri is indecent.
The Why this kolaveri di song from actor Dhanush’s Tamil film 3 has become one of the most popular songs on the internet. The song’s popularity can be gauged by the fact that every other day a new version of the same song is being uploaded and shared by its fans. One of the first in Bollywood to appreciate the song was superstar Amitabh Bachchan and once he had approved of it, the rest simply followed suit. But the song which has now crossed 13 million hits on Youtube hasn’t gone down well with lyricist Javed Akhtar who didn’t mince words expressing his disregard for the song. He posted a message on Twitter, “Kolaveri-D. Every one is praising the robes but the emperor is naked. Tune ordinary, singing substandard, words an insult to sensibility.” The fans of the ‘Kolaveri’ song didn’t take kindly to Akhtar’s feedback on the song. In response to Akhtar, one of them tweeted, “Plz… I liked “Kolavari Di” n song is a new youth anthem… n “Meri Laundry Ka Ek Bill” remember ?? nana na na na?? In defense, the poet tweeted, “What kind of logic is this even if all my songs are trash, meaningless, unbearable how does that make this Kolaveri D good?” Wethinks Javed saab is simply overreacting. The song was made for a lark and has been liked by people who apparently are not highly inclined towards life-changing literary work.

Selvaraghavan of Kaadhal Konden is known for offbeat(?) and perverse themes-that he is called as a Class Director is another matter.
In Mayakkam Enna, a New film of his,he narrates a story.
A youth and his sister.,having been orphaned grows up with a Family.
His friend’s girl friend makes overtures to him and he succumbs and caught by the friend .
He feels guilty.
In the mean while, the hero,enacted by Dhanush ,winner of Best Actor Award at the National level for his excellent performance in’Aadu kalam, is a wildlife photographer (he clicks wild animals in some frames as an after thought) is humiliated by a famous photographer of repute.
He becomes despondent.
So he attempts suicide by falling from a multistoryed building with no permanent damge to his limbs and is shown as having become a mental patient(this is unclear as the hero appears to be so right from the first frame).
His friend’s father gets him married to his son’s girl friend and as bonus gets his son married to a girl.
The father character has a novel way of solving emotional family issues,by offering Scotch Whiskey to his son and the boy he helps grow in his home.
Even before becoming a basket case, the hero keeps drinking and mouths bad words (some of them I am unable to understand-normally I am good at bad words!)
(By the way what is’Munda Kalappai?’
I know the meaning but as this is directed at the woman character ,i am unable to understand.
Will some guys let me know?)
His friend’s girl friend turned his wife takes care of him despite the hero’s ill-treatment and the hero wins an international award for photography.
There you have it.
Those who talk about Tamil Films not having a story line have their fill-Love, Friendship, Marital Disharmony, Professional cheating,Family Sentiment et al.
The woman character,- none can understand, whether she is for the hero or any one for the asking and why she keeps clinging to him or despite her avowed affections to him she decides to stop speaking to him and speaks after his winning an award.(though the Director might justify on the basis of scene where the hero kicks the baby out of her-this seems to be after thought of the director.).
Is under the ace direction of Selvaraghavan, the woman character delivers dialogues so woodenly?
Coming to the hero, whether he is normal is a moot question let alone a Genius -he is called so often in the movie.-he values friendship, or simply a weather cock or one who is irresponsible or a loving husband or a caring brother ….?
The Director has definitely saved a lot of money by way of Lighting-why can’t people understand that human eyes can’t see in the dark,not withstanding Realistic lighting in Films( Manirathnam Style?),but the money saved thus is spent on Drinks.
Music is tolerable.
If you want Dhanush’s voice to be acclaimed as good, ask him to sing with Selvaraghavan and G.V.Prakash.
People have been saying this movie is semi autobiographical -to lend credence to this, the Director’s name appears when the hero mouths the words ‘this is my story’.
If this is so, Selvaraghavan has really messed up his Life and the movie.
By the way where is the connection between the title and the movie, as in Pithamagan?
One is astonished how this song has become viral,may be something to do with Dhanush’s stars.
Story:
What makes it one of the most quirky Tanglish (read Tamil+ English) song ever? For me, it’s the catchy tune, the attitude, the ease with which Dhanush belts it out that makes it special. Here’s what Anirban, a collegue who does not know a single phrase in Tamil says about this song. ‘It is catchy and intensely raw which makes it totally hummable.’ And may be, this is a pan Indian sentiment. A report in The Hindu says that ‘Why this Kolaveri di’ became the first regional film song to be played by radio stations around the country on Tuesday evening.
But Kolaveri, Soup Song… what do these words even mean to someone not familiar with the local slang? Kolaveri, loosely translated becomes ‘murderous rage’. And says Dhanush “I call it the ‘soup song’ for ‘soup boys’. I came up with this term actually. A soup boy essentially means a guy who has been dumped by a girl and the soup song is a ‘love failure’ song which a guy sings after getting dumped. He goes on, “the words that have been used in the song are words currently in trend today. Also, it’s English but sung with a Tamil accent. Thus, even a Hindi-speaking or a Telugu-speaking person can understand it. Language is no bar at all. I think any youngster can relate to the concept. He can use it to make fun of his friend or even himself!” Here’s what he had to tell The Times of India.
Debutant composer Anirudh is elated with the song becoming an instant hit among the youth for its catchy lyrics penned by Dhanush. “It’s not meant to be anti-anything. Director [Aishwarya Dhanush] said the situation demanded a light-hearted fun song about love failure. I came up with a tune in ten minutes. I don’t know what kind of mood Dhanush was in…he started singing in broken English and came up with this in 20 minutes. It just happened,” recalls Anirudh while talking to The Hindu.
Dhanush who has penned the lyrics and sung it, tells the Times Of India, “The concept for Kolaveri Di is new. I never ever imagined that this song would become such a huge rage nationally. If someone had told me earlier that it would, I would not have believed them!
