Ravi Teja’s “Ole Ole” Faces Backlash: Netizens Slam Song for Vulgar Lyrics
While folk music often resonates deeply with regional audiences, Ravi Teja’s latest song “Ole Ole” from Mass Jathara has found itself at the center of a heated debate. Composed by Bheems Ceciroleo and penned by Bhaskar Yadav Dasari, the song has drawn sharp criticism online for its allegedly vulgar and inappropriate lyrics.
Lines like “Nee amma, Nee Ayya, Nee akka, Nee Chelli, Nee Ollokochi Panta” have particularly drawn fire. Netizens argue that such language crosses the line of decency, even under the guise of folk authenticity. The backlash has been swift, with social media users calling for responsible songwriting—especially when such tracks reach massive audiences.
Despite previous successful folk hits like Dhanda Kadiyal and Jinthak Chitak, this latest attempt at Uttarandhra-style folk seems to have backfired. As of now, the makers have not issued any statement addressing the controversy.
Directed by Bhanu Bhogavarapu, Mass Jathara stars Ravi Teja and Sreeleela and is set to release on August 27, during Vinayaka Chavithi.
