Something that didn’t make much of the breaking news though was once flashed on the facebook share rather expeditiously, until before three weeks. If you think you have a great deal of idea what I am hooking on to, then you probably might want me to make your day and I am glad to break it to you that it has nothing to do with “Kolaveri Di”. But I must admit17,097,755 hits in just two week’s times seems a bit overestimation for what I have heard. It leaves me in a flabbergast thinking why this “Kolaveri Di”?

Rajesh goes out of the league and fights back for his rights. A little difficulty initially turns out to be an eye opener...
