Karikku Onam videos: The new-age Maveli of entertainment

Vanne vanne, vannalo, muthathu Maveli! There is a cult following for Karikku's Onam videos, and while they are yet to drop a new video, here's why we think Mallus love them.

Malayalees everywhere are busy making lists for their sadhya preps, running around shopping for their onakodi, and hoping to have a blast with their Onakali and spending more time with the people they love. Even with all the hassle, there are only a few things you look forward to every Onam, and waiting for another Onam special Karrikku video is definitely one of them. Saying that Karikku has become an unignorable part of our celebrations would be an understatement. Their playful influence is everywhere, from kids singing their catchy songs to friends exchanging witty one-liners from their skits. It’s remarkable how this storytelling group has not only become our go-to source of entertainment but also a way for us to connect and celebrate our shared culture.

We have been loving them, especially through their comedy sketch videos during FIFA 2018. Giving fans a comedic reenactment of every match, they were not only celebrating every team but also pulling each other’s leg. Although the group has ventured into producing more serious stories, their comedy sketches will always be celebrated and returned to. One video series that has managed to make a home in all our hearts and gets us excited for the festival from Atham to Thiruonam is Karikku's Onam videos.

These videos will always be our first choice for these reasons

Quality storytelling

YouTube videos have long been recognized as a significant form of entertainment, especially when they feature compelling storytelling. We can easily spend hours watching videos on the platform as long as they have a plot that captures our interest. This is one of the main reasons why Karikku's Onam videos have become a hit among the digitally savvy generation. 

While the concept of a day in the life of a bachelor pad celebrating Onam away from home is not entirely new, Karikku manages to make it uniquely their own. They introduce distinctive characters and quirky elements that the audience has come to recognize as their signature style. Additionally, they skillfully continue the storyline with callbacks to previous videos, creating a cohesive series that people look forward to revisiting every festive season.

The innocence in stories

The video features characters and a plotline that embody the innocence and wholesomeness often missing in today's stories. While many, including Karikku with their latest series, focus on complex narratives that introduce elements of thrill and secrecy, these Onam videos highlight the lightheartedness and silliness of a group of friends. The antics and minor conflicts they have with someone who disrupts their preparations add a comedic touch and enhance the overall charm of the story.

Recurring characters

One of the main reasons we enjoy watching the series is the characters, who share quirks from Karikku's previous videos and comedy sketches. Each character feels well-developed, contributing equally, if not more, to the comedic essence of the story. You find yourself eagerly watching their reactions to every little moment, often repeating their dialogue along with them. From characters who initially seem responsible but ultimately cause chaos to those who are clueless from the very beginning, they will always be our favorites.

Songs that have become classics

Chettimandaram x Bolo Tarara, an Onam parody of Hawa Hawa or even Tunak Tunak Tun, Prachanam Prasannan changed the way we look at Onam songs. It is no longer the slow Thiruvadira songs or the upbeat folk songs. Today, no Onam celebration is complete without these songs, and that says a lot about its popularity.
