Why This Kolaveri Di

First see the “Why This Kolaveri Di” Full Song Promo Video in HD

Truly speaking, the first time I heard it a few weeks back, trending across the web everywhere, I was surprised how it was happening. A light hearted relaxed mix of English, Tamil (now also called Tanglish), broken at parts, unusual playful lyrics, less known singers, and what is Kolaveri Di anyway? … but there was something different about it…

Released officialy just recently on 16 November 2011, millions of people continued to Like the videos on Facebook, and more and more fans tweeted about it. Now with over 20 million Youtube video views and hundred of  its variations and parodies, the popularity of Why this Kolaveri Di continued to increase, and there is a very high chance that you might have heard this song wherever you are in the world as International media is awed by the social media response.

Meanwhile Kolaveri song continues as one of the most searched videos and the top downloaded song on mobile phones. As we continue to learn more marketing lessons from Kolaveri Di, even Business Schools like IIM are teaching students about it in lessons about viral marketing.

So what is Kolaveri Di?

“Why This Kolaveri Di” is a song from the upcoming Tamil film 3 starring Dhanush and Shruti Haasan, expected to release in 2012. Written and sung by Dhanush, the song is composed by music director Anirudh Ravichander.

What is the meaning of Kolaveri Di?  Since the song is sung by a drunk guy dumped by a girl, the song Why this Kolaveri di means “Why did you do this to me” or “Why you dumped me”. Otherwise the word Kolaveri means rage.

Purpose Code Mandatory

A year back the purpose code was introduced and was only required when you needed to withdraw money to your bank account. Recently, Paypal India made it compulsory for Indian users to add the 3 requirements to withdraw money.

1. PAN or Permanent Account Number
2. Purpose Code
3. Bank account in India.

Many users fail to use the purpose code. But now you need to enter the purpose code also in order to continue recieving funds. This is to comply with RBI guidelines in India in order to receive export-related payments into your Paypal account and withdraw money. The Paypal FAQ clearly state that “Your account will be limited from receiving payments, in case you fail to do so.”

Auto-withdrawal to Bank Accounts

Remember as per recent Paypal restrictions, PayPal users in India are not allowed to hold money in their PayPal account as balance. Instead, all payments received into your PayPal account must be withdrawn to your linked bank account in India. So what if you don’t withdraw the money?

The FAQ reveals that now your funds will be auto withdrawn to your bank account in India, but that requires PAN, Purpose code and Bank Account. Once your data is complete, Paypal can transfer money to your bank account automatically to comply with Indian regulatory requirements.

• Paypal India Users Need Purpose Code to Withdraw Money
• Now PayPal India Requires Purpose Code, PAN, Bank Account
• Paypal India Money Transfer Restrictions Start
• Paypal India Payments Restricted Again!
• Paypal India Personal Payments Blocked ‘for Few Months’
