'Peelings' Song from Pushpa 2 Creates Buzz with Unique Malayalam Hook Line
Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna’s latest dance number leaves fans divided.
The much-anticipated Pushpa: The Rule, set to release on December 5, 2024, has sparked excitement with the release of its energetic new song, “Peelings.” Featuring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, the track has quickly gained attention, particularly for its unique Malayalam hook line, which has fans intrigued.
The Viral Hook Line
The opening line, “Mallika Rannante Ambukala Kanmuna Thumbukalo,” translates to:
“Are these kama deva’s arrows or your eye arrows? Are these the first moon rays, or the butterfly smiles? Are these the beautiful bunch of jasmine or your beautiful lips? Are these the beetles searching for honey or pieces of your enchanting desires?”
Allu Arjun shared this poetic translation on social media, adding to the song’s appeal.
Reception
The song, composed by Devi Sri Prasad with lyrics by Chandrabose and Siju Thuravoor, has garnered mixed reactions. While fans praised the upbeat music and captivating lyrics, the choreography by Sekhar Vulli Vj has drawn criticism for being “vulgar” and overly bold. Comparisons have also been made to the earlier item number, “Kissik,” which failed to impress audiences.
About the Song
“Peelings” has been released in six languages, retaining the same Malayalam hook line in all versions. Sung by Shankarr Babu Kandukoori and Laxmi Dasa, the song blends massy beats with a rustic charm that aligns with the Pushpa franchise’s signature style.
Pushpa 2: The Rule
Directed by Sukumar, the film stars Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, Fahadh Faasil, and others. The sequel promises to be one of the biggest cinematic events of 2024, carrying the legacy of the first installment forward.
Whether the bold choreography will become a trendsetter or a polarizing moment for fans remains to be seen. However, “Peelings” is well on its way to dominating music charts and becoming a cultural talking point.
