Music can certainly not be bound by the barriers of language and geography. And it is once again proved with this Tamil song going viral over internet. In less than ten days of posting the song's buzzing with almost four million views...
Even the bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan tweeted: "Just heard #Kolaveri after much talk on it... it's so original and catchy... congrats Dhanush and Aishwarya (Rajni's daughter).. love".
This single released from the Tamil film ‘3’ by Tamil actor-singer Danush is fast emerging as the most shared video in India.
If literally translated “kolaveri di” means a burning or murderous rage in Tamil but in the song this very phrase has been used in a funny sense as a lover’s question to his girlfriend as to why he was dumped by her.
This song full of absurd lyrics, meaningless words and sung by an actor who sings as a hobby, has caught the attention of one and all. The credit to this can be given to the fact that even though the song may not make in-depth lyrical sense but it sure has a catchy tune and is extremely hummable. The signature line of the song itself must have been meaningless to non-Tamilians when it was initially released but it has transcended linguistic as well as spatial boundaries to become one of the most heard songs of recent times and that too in a very short span of time.
Music is fuel to soul, for sure!
