Tamil actor Dhanush's song Kolevari Di might have taken the web world by storm. But that didn't impress lyricist Javed Akhtar.
'"KOLAVARI-D".
Every one is praising the robes but the emporer is naked. Tune ordinary
,singing substandard. words an insult to sensibility,' he tweeted.
He responded
to a follower's answer: 'What kind of logic is this even if all my
songs are trash, meaningless, unbearable how does that make this
Kolaveri D good.'
The noted lyricist has received a lot of flak
for his remarks. 'its a barrage of comments about my comment on
KOLA...some are calling me jealous, even abusing me, others praising me
for belling the cat,' he tweeted about the various responses to his
tweet.

Javed is just a disgruntled jealous old man, who can't take the fact that this song which came out of nowhere, has become such a rage with everyone, far more than any of his songs.
His criticism makes absolutely no sense, a tune doesn't need to be complex to be enjoyable, Kolaveri Di has a very simple, yet very catchy and hummable tune, its simplicity and vibe is what makes it such a hit, and the lyrics are hilarious, something different, and easy to remember, and understand, even if it's broken English, none of this Urdu poetry trash.
