'''''Balleilakka''''' is a song from the [[Kollywood|Tamil]] film ''[[Sivaji: The Boss]]'' starring [[Rajinikanth]] and [[Shriya Saran]], directed by [[S. Shankar|Shankar]]. The music was composed by the [[A. R. Rahman]], lyrics were written by [[Na. Muthukumar]] (P.K Mishra in Hindi) and sung by [[S. P. Balasubrahmanyam]] (Javed Ali in Hindi), [[Reihana]] and [[Benny Dayal]].

The song is shot in [[India]]. The song also has many people who have had their bellies painted as Lions (this is also related to how the 1 rupee coin has a lion on one side and a flower on the other). [[Nayantara]] makes a guest appearance making it an [[item number]]. Director [[S. Shankar]] also makes a special appearance in this song, he appears on screen using his mobile phone when the lyrics depict "Switch of your phones, and enjoy". Balleilakka is derived from the Russian word [[Balalaika]] which is a musical instrument.

The pretense for the song comes after Sivaji ([[Rajinikanth]]) has returned from [[United States|United States of America]] and is being shown a cat walk of the top beauties of Chennai. After the cat walk, a girl called Vibuthy (which is also a religious powder spread across the forehead) invites him to dance with the girls. The DJ is playing an English track and Sivaji tells him to play a Tamil song. Then the song begins with Nayantara appearing.

A version of this song sung by the symphony chorus Oakland chorale is also available.

The title of the song was later reused in a track in [[Venkat Prabhu]]'s ''[[Mankatha]]''.

  • From a song: This is a redirect from a song title to a more general, relevant article such as an album, film or artist where the song is mentioned. Redirecting to the specific album or film in which the song appears is preferable to redirecting to the artist when possible.
    • There is consensus that the majority of songs do not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Songs should only have an individual article when there is enough material to warrant a detailed article.
    • For redirects of cover songs to the article about the original song, use {{R from cover song}} instead.
    • For redirects of remixes to the article about the original song, use {{R from remix}} instead.
