‘Chiri Paatu’ is an ode to friendship
The Hindu
Composed by Varkey and directed by Goutham Soorya, the music video brings together a group of friends and capture their smiles
‘Chiri Paatu’ (song of smiles) is all about a song, a group of friends and a lot of smiles. The four-minute music video composed by Varkey (Arun Varghese) and directed by Goutham Soorya, captures an evening when a “group of friends gather around a camp fire and show their best smiles”. Smiles and grins of all kinds: flirtatious, mirthless smile, sheepish, angry smile…they show it all. “I worked out the guitar parts and the song just happened. While searching for lyrics, we came across this folk song describing smiles. After a jamming session, I was sure that the song would let everyone snap out of their troubles and that’s why I called it ‘Chiri Pattu’,” explains Varkey.
