Kurchi Madathapetti Clocks 600 Million - Top 3 Belongs To Thaman

Sometimes, a film disappoints, but one song escapes the film completely and becomes a phenomenon of its own. We have seen such things many times, with Why Dis Kolavari from ‘3’ movie being the biggest example. And now, that’s exactly what happened with Thaman’s Kurchi Madathapetti from Guntur Kaaram, the Mahesh Babu starrer directed by Trivikram. This particular song has gone super viral and is now setting records online.

Kurchi Madathapetti has now amassed a massive 600 million views on the popular video streaming website YouTube, becoming only the third Telugu song ever to touch that milestone. Earlier, we had two songs, Butta Bomma and Ramulo Ramula, from the Allu Arjun-starrer Ala Vaikunthapurramuloo, crafted by the same duo of Thaman and director Trivikram. And this latest song has another record to its credit. Kurchi Madathapetti reportedly achieved the 600 million feat in just 425 days, the fastest ever for a Telugu song. It must be a proud moment for Thaman, because all the Top 3 viral songs belong to him.

In fact, Guntur Kaaram as a film did not create the storm many expected from the Mahesh Babu and Trivikram combo, which delivered Athadu and Khaleja earlier, the films that raked up huge buzz but not huge moolah, though they became cult classics later. However, music from those movies is also a superhit chartbuster. Coming to Kurchi Madathapetti, Thaman completely cracked the mass pulse with this one.

From the beat drop to the folk flavour to the instantly addictive hook, the song entered reels, weddings, gyms, pubs, DJ Nights, meme edits, and every possible social media corner. Even non-Telugu college-going youth are also making sure that they dance to this song at fresher events and anniversaries. Let’s give some credit to Mahesh and Sreeleela's viral dance steps as well, which took music lovers by storm.
