There are currently two kinds of Indians. Those who have heard ‘Kolaveri’ and those who haven’t. Which one are you??
A small section of the audience have expressed undisguised disgust at the song – for its poor lyrics, colloquial language, etc – and simply don’t understand what all the fuss is about.
Okay, I’m not ashamed to say I loved ‘Kolaveri’. It is perhaps one of the worst songs ever, but it certainly is the most played song on my phone.
Okay just take a example, what makes a song/film a hit?
I watched a Hindi film called ‘Dhobi Ghat’ the other day, and loved it. It was serious, sensible and left an impression (not to mention stellar performances by Aamir Khan, Monica Dogra and cute Prateik Babbar). Now Body Guard, in comparison made absolutely no sense whatsoever. However, as you might have already guessed, while Dhobi Ghat was a below-average-box-office-hit, Ra One despite not being critically acclaimed, was supposedly a ‘hit’ in India and a ‘superhit’ overseas (so sayeth the great Wiki!)
So what makes something like ‘Kolaveri’ a global hit? The video has apparently grossed 3 million views on Youtube, and more than 8 million shares on FB.
Well, to me, it is very simply, what I can connect with.
Kolaveri is a song that EVEN I can sing. Take any aspect of it…words/tune/lyrics…it is all so colloquial that even a layman can understand every nuance of the song and totally identify with it. To give a background, this is supposedly a light-hearted song sung by a young boy who has been jilted in love. Ah! What better reach to an audience than an average loser being dumped by a hot (and fair-skinned) girl. The lyrics are very simple. One need not break his/her head to understand the meaning of ‘white-skinu-girl, girl heartu-black.. eyes-u eyes-u meetu meetu, my future darku’.
