The ‘Rowdy Baby’ track from last year's Maari 2 composed by Yuvan Shankar Raja and sung by Dhanush and Dhee turned out to be a massive hit unlike any other Tamil song in recent times. With lyrics penned by Dhanush himself, the ‘Rowdy Baby’ song choreographed by Prabhu Deva went on to become a raging hit right from the moment the first visuals were unveiled. Featured on the Maari 2 lead pair, Dhanush and Sai Pallavi, the song has now attained a double distinction.

Furthermore, YouTube India has declared the song to be the most-watched video of 2019 in the country and is at present standing at over 715 million views after being released online earlier this year on January 2. Check out where 'Rowdy Baby' stands along with the rest of the video songs from various artists around the world.
