'Why this Kolaveri di...' continues to be in the news even after the release of Dhanush starrer 3. A Public interest litigation has been filed in the Kerala High Court against the chartbuster song, stating that it is wrongly influencing young minds.

The petitioner, M Madaswamy, who works as a postal assistant at Peermede in Idukki, alleged that exhibition of the song should be banned as it was badly influencing minds of young children.

He said, "A song with such violent lyrics increases aggression related thoughts and emotions and this effect is directly related to the violence in the lyrics as per a new study published by the America Psychological Association."

"In a series of five experiments involving over 500 college students, researchers from Iowa state University and the Texas Department of Human Sciences examined the effects of seven violent songs and eight non-violent songs," he added.

Madaswamy further said: Results showed that violent songs led to more aggressive interpretations  of ambigiously aggresive words.The violent songs increased feelings of  hostility without provocation or threat.'

The influence of Kolaveri and lyrics makes students take to violence, he further alleged.
