OOANTAVAMAVA...Do you Know the surprising meaning of this item song?

An item number is obscure, it derives it's meaning from objectification of women. 

Oo Antava Mava is an item song which makes complete sense. An item song which raised issue on objectifying women and are shamed by men for everything that women do. It's lyrics turn the gaze towards men but doesn't entirely break away from objectifying women.This song of Samantha from the movie 'Pushpa' has set the internet on fire and triggered a meme fest too. Samantha has performed this item song with Allu Arjun but with a twist in the tale. The lyrics are on the male gaze unlike other bollywood item songs which uses typically objectifying language for women. The women dancer dress in scanty clothes emphasizing the hero's masculinity or the villain's lecherousness.

It is a known fact that double meaning songs  have been a part of Bollywood films, the tend took off strongly in the 90's. Today, item songs have become a must with offensive or provocative lyrics and a whole lot of skin show. It's very disturbing that words such as item girl or item number have become acceptable and female leads are themselves performing and encouraging these so-called item numbers. 

The truth is that  most of the Bollywood movies are made for the desi crowd. It's the audience who has to be blamed. If people had rejected 'Munni badnam' then there would not have been ' Tu cheez badi hain mast mast'. 

But you will be surprised to know about the hidden meaning of the song Oo Antava Mava. 

So here it goes:

"Koka koka koka kadithe kora koramanthu choostharu

Potti potti  gowney vesthe patti patti choostharu

Koka  kadu gownu kadu kattulona yemundhi

Mee kallalone anta undhi Mee maga buddhe vankara buddhi

Oo Antava Mava, Oo Antava Mava hey, 
which means.... 

" They kill me with their looks if I wear a saree. 
They scan me with their eyes if I wear a skirt. 
Neither the saree nor the skirt, it is not in the dressing that matters. 
It is all in your eyes . Men's thinking is a twisted one. 
Will you agree with this? Men! Are you agreement with This! "

Dissenting voices have erupted against the song from a certain men's association. They filed a petition for banning the song because it portrays men as lustful through the lyrics and visuals. 

Correct me if I am wrong many women must have heard songs like -tu cheez badi hain mast mast, laila main laila , zara zara touch me... being sung by eve-teasers.  And the discomfort that you as a girl face at that time is exactly what that song muffles. 

This type of songs will be composed again normalizing patriarchy, harassment, stalking and objectifying women. And if someone plays this song and I dare to stop them, the reply is :Too much feminism it is... Come on it's just a song! 
Yes, just a song which gives way to patriarchy.
