Starring TV show host and actor Dhivyadharshini, popularly known DD, and Malayalam actor Tovino Thomas, the visuals perfectly compliment the song’s breezy and light-hearted tune.
Revolving around a couple who are in a long-distance relationship, the song’s lyrics are penned to glorify traditional courtships as opposed to the rise of online dating and expressing love via text messages.
What’s Ulaviravu, you ask? From Ondraga's tweet, we learn that it means date night. And rightfully so, the song shows their date night.
#Ulaviravu 2nd Single from #OndragaOriginals will be out on Feb 14th. Stay tuned with us for some exciting updates @menongautham @singer_karthik @madhankarky #ValentinesDaySpecial pic.twitter.com/h6UVGxxqla
