Adiye Kolludhe: The only Tamil song on Channel [V]

The song ‘Adiye Kolludhe’ from Vaaranam Aayiram is perhaps the first Tamil song that has made it to Channel [V].�Played on�the� programme Zabardast Hits four times daily,�it is indeed a big recognition for a Tamil film; Channel [V], which could not look beyond a few funny(?) aspects of South has begun to take notice of its talent and sheen and has felt the urge to let others know about it! Well, thank you, Channel [V].

Channel [V] is monopolized by Bollywood songs/ music albums and some international chartbusters; songs from regional movies – especially from the South which makes top-class films that get recognized by Cannes and many other great film festivals – are not given their due respect. This happened despite the success of southern music directors like A.R.Rahman�in Bollywood. If there was any mention of things Southern, it was primarily for a few laughs. Well, that is how Quick Gun Murugun was born! But now Quick Gun Murugun has become a cult figure and so has Channel [V]’s Lola Kutty.

The scenario has changed with Vaaranam Aayiram’s ‘Adiye Kolludhe’ breaking the jinx of “no southern songs on [V]”. Vaaranam Aayiram stars Suriya, Sameera Reddy, Divya Spandana and Simran. Harris Jayaraj has composed its music. Sony BMG owns the audio rights of Vaaranam Aayiram.

Trivia: 'Adiye Kolludhe' was sung by Kamal Haasan’s daughter Shruthi (male voice: Krish) and it was released by Rajinikanth’s daughter Soundarya!
