Swartharathna’s retro song is a hit online

A retro song from the upcoming film

Swartharathna

has clocked over one million hits online. Shot at the Brindavan Garden at KRS Dam in Mysuru, Ninn Nayana, a black-and-white number that features lead pair Adarsh Gunduraj and

Ishita Varsha

, will remind you of the good ol’ days.

“The song, which has been shot using high-end cameras and old-fashion zoom lens, was unveiled by veteran director Dorai Bhagavan. Ishita and I will remind you of actors in black-and-white films, but we haven’t imitated any specific actors. What works for the song is the lyrics by Ashwin Kodange (who is also the director of the film). He has used old

Kannada

words with such a twist that they are quite funny.”

The song has become so popular that people have been uploading

dubsmash

videos of it on their social media pages. The film team has also started a contest in which people are performing to the song in their own style.
