Contents

The single track, "Why This Kolaveri Di" was released on 16 November 2011, prior to the soundtrack release, and became one of the most streamed songs of all-time. [1] [2] It was officially released, after a leaked version, becoming popular on the internet. [3] All the songs have lyrics written by Dhanush, except "Idhazhin Oram" was written by Aishwarya Dhanush.

The entire soundtrack album was released on 23 December 2011, and gained positive reviews. [4] Behindwoods.com, listed the soundtrack album of 3, as one of the composer's best works till date. [5] It also fetched the Filmfare Award for Best Music Director for Anirudh Ravichander, and Best Male Playback Singer for Dhanush. [6]

Following the success of the original version, the dubbed versions of the soundtrack was released in Telugu and Hindi, with the lyrics for the Hindi version was written by Kumaar and Telugu version was written by Bhuvanachandra.

Background

According to the composer Anirudh, the film's director Aishwarya R. Dhanush, wanted a light hearted song about love failure, with the former quickly composed the tune within 10 minutes. Dhanush then began working on the lyrics, for about 20 minutes, in which the first line he sang was "Why This Kolaveri?" (transl. Why this murderous rage, Girl?). [7] Dhanush sang the song in broken English, as a Tamil person might if his knowledge of English was limited. The song is also called a 'Soup' song, where 'Soup' is a colloquial Tamil word which refers to young men experiencing love failure after a beautiful relationship. [7]

When I was writing down the lyrics, I kept in mind all the English words that are used in the Tamil vocabulary. Words like I, you, me, how, why, cow. I just framed them into sentences and thats how I came up with the song.

— Dhanush, in an interview with The Times of India, about penning the lyrics for "Why This Kolaveri Di", [8]

Development

All the songs in the film were recorded at A. R. Rahman's AM Studios in Chennai. [9] The song "Why This Kolaveri Di", which was adjusted in downtempo has been built around an ancient south Indian folk rhythm using ancient folk instruments like nadaswaram, shehnai, saxophone, urumee, thavil, drums, acoustic guitar, keyboards mixed with electronic synths and scratches, utilizing the singing style of Tamil folk culture. [7] The words of the song are in a simple form of Tanglish, a mixture of Tamil and English, which strikes a chord with the college students that lap up songs in this genre. [7] The words have been described as "nonsensical" by some and an evocation of "Tamil street humour". Dhanush has stated that the choice of words allows it to be a very relatable song.

The song "Idhazhin Oram" was written by his wife Aishwarya R. Dhanush, while all the other songs were written by Dhanush. The song was sung by Ajesh, a winner of the Airtel Super Singer. Another nominate Sathya Prakash, rended the remix version of "Po Nee Po", the original was sung by Mohit Chauhan, of "Sadda Haq" fame. [10] [11]

Reception

Kaushik LM, of Behindwoods rated the soundtrack album 3.5 out of 5, summarising "Anirudh Ravichander has delivered so much variety in his very first album. Such a promising debut by a composer hasn't been seen in recent Tamil cinema history. 'Kolaveri' took the initial honors but there are so many other melodic treats that 3 offers. On the whole, an album that will sell like hot cakes." [35] Rediff rated the album 3 out of 5, and summarised that "All the songs in 3 are good and come with appealing instrumental arrangements, even if the lyrics are a bit bland. Composer Anirudh has obviously taken pains to come up with an intriguing collection." [36] Moviecrow rated the album 7 out of 10, stating with a bottomline that "This dream debut by Anirudh is mighty impressive. The director Aishwarya D should be commended for her vision. She has given Anirudh and Dhanush the freedom to explore in music and lyrics. Anirudh has proven that 'Kolaveri' was no fluke.  The music is fresh, experimental and delightful - worth buying." [37] Indiaglitz gave a positive review stating "The entire album of '3', which explores the various faces and phases of love, is a bonanza to music lovers. No other film in the recent past celebrated love with these many songs." [38]

Controversy

The song, "Why This Kolaveri Di" being one of the most streamed Indian songs, gained controversy upon its release. Javed Akhtar, a poet, lyricist and scriptwriter slammed the song for its insult to sensibility. [39] In April 2012, a petition was filed in the Kerala High Court seeking a ban on the song citing negative influence on children, claiming to inciting violence and aggression. The song also faced criticism for its allegedly misogynistic lyrics. [40]
