A Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed against actor Dhanush's global hit song Kolaveri Di in the Kerala High Court, alleging that the song is "badly influencing minds of young children" and the petitioner M. Madaswamy from Idukki has sought a direction to prohibit screenings of the song.
Madaswamy is a postal assistant working at Peermede and a Guinness Record holder for the longest speech marathon lasting 30 hours and 6 minutes. He cited that the America Psychological Association had stated that songs with "such violent lyrics" increases aggression related thoughts and emotions.
In support of his stand, Madaswamy submitted a report concerning a series of five experiments involving over 500 college students in US. They reportedly found that violent songs led to more aggressive interpretations of ambiguously aggressive words. He cautioned that boys were using the song to tease girls.
